CES 2014: Ohio Company is Bringing Military-Grade Motion Sensors to Gaming

Posted by Roblimo on Monday January 13, 2014 @10:16AM from the now-your-computer-can-track-every-twitch-and-wiggle dept.

In a town called Portsmouth, Ohio, a company called Yost Engineering (YEI) Technology has quietly been making motion sensing devices for military, aerospace, industrial, robotics, and other commercial motion capture uses, including rotoscoping for the film/video industry. Now they want to bring this same technology to gaming. They tried a Kickstarter campaign in 2013, but only got a little less than 1/2 of their target amount pledged. They're going to do Kickstarter again, starting Feb. 14, 2014 -- and this time, they've been working on PR before asking for money. You can see what they're up to in gaming sensor development at www.priovr.com/. Or go to the main YEI Technology corporate site, which has a whole bunch of free downloads in addition to the usual product blurbs.

Even a commercial product could be classified as "military grade" if it meets a specification put out by the military.
Yep. You can have the military grade steaks, I'll still with USDA grade Prime ;)
