TrueMotion Game Controller a Step Up From Wii Remote

Posted by Soulskill on from the maybe-i-can-actually-putt-with-this-one dept.

Harry McCracken writes "One of my top picks at the Consumer Electronics Show was Sixense's TrueMotion, a game-controller technology that resembles the Wii's remote, but uses an electromagnetic field to provide far more precision — it knows the exact location of the controller in 3D space and which way you're pointing it. (The Wiimote only knows which direction you're moving the controller.) TrueMotion-based remotes are due by Christmas, bundled with a PC game for under $100."

    For me at least, if PC gaming is dead, then windows is dead.

    OSX and Linux are more than adequate for my Internet and business applications.
