Playing a First-Person Shooter Using Real Guns
Blake writes "A group called Waterloo Labs rigged up a few accelerometers to a large wall and projected a first-person shooter onto it. Using some math, they can triangulate the position of impacts on the wall, so naturally they found someone with a gun and bought a large case of ammunition. Even cooler, this group usually posts a 'how we did it' video a few weeks after a project's debut, including source code."

And they demonstrated it works fine while hitting the damn wall WITH A SHOVEL ! That was the greatest part. Forget the Wii, I want the next zombie game to be played with a wall of concrete and a shovel.

Unless you use lasers in space shooters. Contrary to a popular disinformation spread frivolously by those lousy physicists, lasers are actually very slow. With a proper engine upgrades, you can outmanuver them easily.
Forget the shovel I want a cricket bat
It's funny how they were able to think up this quite cool technology use but then manage to get their explanatory graphics wrong. At 0:40 in their Youtube clip, they show the shockwaves travelling out from the sensors and then intersect at the impact location. That is, of course, the exact opposite of what is really happening.
You're either a troll or completely retarded. Allow me to enlighten you: most personnel in the Air Force don't serve in planes.

Everything is easy when you don't understand the problem.
Did you know the army gets tested by shooting at sheet metal signs 300 yards away? If the sign goes "Ding" they get marked down as a hit.
That's nothing, the Bundeswehr practices by shouting "bang" and politely asking the target to fall over.
Justice is the sheep getting arrested while an impartial judge declares the vote void.

But what about Rocket Jumps? I think right now you can only do one. After that things don't work so well....
We were all warned a long time ago that MS products sucked, remember the Magic 8 Ball said, "Outlook not so good"

As in, in the "Marine Core"?
Wow. I guess those Air Force pukes just aren't hardcorps enough for that kind of training.
