Motion Control on the PC!?
Alex TretropPC hardware developer Razer, makers of some pretty amazing gaming mice, keyboards and other gaming accessories, have just announced that they will be teaming up with Valve and Sixense to produce the “Razer Sixense Ultra Precise Motion Controller.” What does this mean for PC gamers? You’ll get motion control on your system! Yay?
The controller has “ultra-precise one-to-one motion sensing controllers that use electromagnetic fields to track precise movements along all six axes." Apparently, It can track it’s orientation within one degree and detect its positioning down to one millimetre. It’s also going to be compatible with all the current and future PC games that come to the market.
This newly announced technology is being shown off at Valve’s CES booth, where you can play Left 4 Dead 2 on the PC with an unfinished version of the controller. Their Software Development Kit is already reported to be on Steam as well. Check out the video (above) to see how it’s looking.
So do you want to see motion control on the PC? Or do you think it’s going to be as gimmicky as the Wii?
