Taking the Wii Controller to the Next Level

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-play-with dept.

funfail writes "It's a Wii without the $250 console. It's virtual Pong and so much more. Any object is now an input device, even your fingers. Camspace is a pure software solution that allows nearly any ordinary PC webcam (95% are supported) to track up to four objects — even as small as 5mm — in real-time and with very high accuracy and reliability (Windows only). Techcrunch has an in-depth article and a video." Very neat idea, but it appears that it is in a limited beta only, and source doesn't appear likely.

    It's a blatant advert! It's vapourware! It's just 'eyetoy', which has been out on the Playstation for ages! It won't work in real people's houses, because people will walk past and curtains will flutter in the wind! It will never get any decent games!

    No, it means you have no better comeback than "I know you are but what am I". *yawn* Go whine some more.
