Title: NEW ACT LABS "Light"Gun & New technology
Post by: aljupy on January 09, 2006, 07:30:00 am
Hello:

Act LaBs is SELLING (In stock) A new "Light" gun with new technology. They call it "SENGITAL GUN" wich is a new technology compatible with plasma, LCD, TFT and project monitors.

What do you think? Do you expect something better than RGT-G1? (It was Infra-Red)

Do you think they have done a good step forward or just  another dissapointing Gun (RGT-G1 was very bad tracking the screen)

I Wonder mainly if it tracks the screen Well.

Or maye someone should buy and review it (he he he) because it is 79$ USD

P.S. Sorry for RGT-G1 Fans, maybe mine is defective.

I saw a reply and video of them somewhere - here?, Retroblast?, Mameworld forums?

General consensus was "Gyro-mouse" and not highly recommended, but I couldn't find where I read it.

The real use for these will be to hack them into a machine gun or something similar.

But you will never get a light of sight to an area of the screen.  But if hacked into a good looking machine gun, it would make a cool gun for joystick mounted gun games.

In first video seems that TOP-RIGHT corner is giving some bad tracking.  ???

I Wonder wich one will be best tracking:  FIREHAWK (From RGT) or the   "New act Labs Sengital Gun".

Firehawk has a good lookig ;) 


BTW it is awesome to see it tracking in a LCD screen with Black background.

P.S. Flashing screen doesn
