Looks awesome, especially the software.  I look forward to seeing the IR accuracy.
Not sure about the feel of the trigger with it being pressure sensitive, but the haptic feedback and recoil might make it feel like it clicks.
Onboard battery for all that hardware might get heavy after a while.

I have nothing else to nitpick.  You've covered pretty much everything anyone could ask for in a gun.   :cheers:

Thanks for the feedback.

The IR accuracy is pretty good. I will upload another video, demoing the IR accuracy.

You're correct, the Trigger isn't traditional. However, the recoil gives you that "click" sensation.
Similar to when Apple had the Haptic Home Button on the iPhone. Except the X-Gun has a bigger bang! lol.

I have to admit I was nervous about the overall weight of the gun, considering all those parts. Surprisingly, the weight was very light. Even after 15 mins of playing, my hands didn't get worn out.

The tech and software look impressive. Any idea on price range? I'm assuming you are targeting a high end crowd with all of the sensors loaded in there...

Thanks Motown,
The price will be competitive for sure. I will not overprice myself out of the market, LOL.

The X-GUN is complete!

I'm wrapping up the development of a .dll for Windows that reads the current game you're playing which then sends the details to the X-Gun.
Also, for anyone who is a game developer here, this .dll can be dropped into Game Engines such as Unity 3D to control custom features of the X-Gun. (it's free no charge)


How accurate is the X-GUN?
