Smarter Than the Average Joystick

Posted by Zonk on from the may-contain-vapourware dept.

Bored with regular controllers and sitting on your butt to game? jimm wrote to tell us about FPGameRunner, a treadmill that acts as a keyboard and mouse. Reenz wrote in about a lightsaber controller "in production" by GameTrak (the folks who brought us the award winning Cyberglove). And just think, you could use both in Jedi Academy. (warning: running on a treadmill with a lightsaber not recommended)

    "treadmill that acts as a keyboard and mouse"

    I don't get it.
    The whole point of computers (and games),
    is that your actual body never has to be involved, right?

    I hear they are working on a pelvic-mounted game controller for porn games.

    Just saying is all...
