The motions the game wants? I don't know what you saw, but I saw a guy holding some device, not some medieval wrist wrangling torture machine twisting his arm behind his back until he begs for mercy.

I just tried the pointing and rotating thing with my wrist, it felt fine, no stress at all - you might want to go visit an orthopedic doctor and get your joint problems looked at ;)

Also, think of the awesome light-saber battles you could have with this thing!

I don't believe you have to point a remote at anything for this to work.

Since it sounds like you don't want to give up your mouse, you could probably use this device as a mouse if you wanted to, and limit it to a 2d plane - then when something calls for it, you pick up the controller and use it to detect motion in 3D.

What is it with people being so resistant to change?

Comment Head Tracking Dream Machine!! (Score 1) 187

Am I the only one that saw this an immediately thought this would be perfect for head tracking and full immersion software?! This is EXACTLY what I have been waiting, *especially* if you can use multiple devices! 2 would be perfect for an FPS, one for the hand and one for the head - then you just add in a set of those "personal theater" eyeglasses with two inputs instead of one an you can add stereoscopic vision to the package! Seems like we're just a year away from a pretty ideal full-immersion home gaming system!
