Basically, it is a motion sensor game controller that should work with all type of displays and you aim the target with a cursor. --- End quote --- In fact a gun that puts the cursor exactly at gunpoint will fit that description just as well as a gyro mouse does. I may be hanging on a straw here, but you are only seeing the negative in it :P I'm still hoping the "state of the art motion sensing" does not mean "age old tilt device". Allthough I agree it's unlikely that it doesn't. |

I know I'm being a little negative, but I've gotten my hopes up too many times to do it again. Until some one can prove to me that it's a new technology that will work well, I'm gonna be the neigh-sayer... I still want to know how the Jurassic Park guns work... Anyone out there know? <edit> I keep saying Jurassic Park, but I mean "The Lost World, Jurassic Park" |

They could time when "the dot" passes by and deduct from that where the gun is aimed it. At least, that would work if the sensor is fast enough (and sensitive enough). For a fast sensor, at any time there would only be a single dot on the whole screen illuminated (or maybe just a small "streak"). I have never seen the game myself so I don't know, but in theory I guess they could "see" where you point the gun without flashing the screen. |

I never tought about it, but those guns are hand held,and they constantly move around the the target cursor as you move the gun around. Kinda like T2, but in a handheld unattached form. now THAT's what we need. no clue how to figure it out, but hopefully someone can make sense of it. I've often wondered how time Crisis can use a light gun and a projection screen, but I can't use one on my bigscreen at home. I don't really need an answer,but all I know is it would SWEET if I could. ny |

There are many ways to do the full tracking guns... But most cost a lot... Hopefully there will be a real solution soon. I'm curious how they do it... But without any way to calibrate (no drivers) and nothing mounted.. I'm not expecting the best. |
