I guess I could have just said "I agree with Warborg". |

cool...i even have some old house of the dead guns i could use for hacking. not like you aren't, but keep us updated about performance and stuff. the one thing i'm worried about is how far you can move from your initial position after calibrating without losing accuracy. the rgt gun sounded like you couldn't move more than 4-5 inches. then again, like someone said before, alot of sega gun games used the same tech and they obviously didn't have any problems with movement after calibration, so if this company did it right, there should be no problem. i'm suprised sega just didn't make a copy of their system and put i out for consumers. |

Would it be possible? --- End quote --- Thats the other good thing. These are *perfect* (in theory) for the anolgue style gun games (op wolf/T2/rev X etc...) as they can track the whole time - no need for a screen flash at any stage. If they work well, they should be usable for all gun games I can think of.... |

--- Quote from: Warborg on January 23, 2006, 09:31:54 am --- Now that makes it sound like you need one SET of stands, not one stand. As in, if you order 2 guns you will get 2 sets of stands, but for 2 to work at the same time you only use one set of those stands... --- End quote --- Quite right - think I misread it as 1 stand. Whereas its actually pretty obvious that they mean don't set up 2 sets of stands, which quite clearly would cause havoc. Thats great news, as it means there should not be weird accuracy drop off for using 2 guns..... |

In theory it could be much better than the rgt - with just 1 point of reference (the usb camera) above the screen its never going to stay accurate IMHO. (Not quite true - there is a neat 'Vector' solution some company came up with, allowing 6 degrees of freedom movement using 1 usb camera. ie it could work out the position and direction of the unit it was tracking. Designed for flight sim buffs to wear on there heads to track head position for viewing. Has to track about 6 points on a "known" 3D shape to work though. And can't do 2 player. But thats another story....) |
