| azrm2k said: Well Smidlee one of the big differences between TrackIR and this is that it could not only be much cheaper to get this but that if the neccessary IR headband/whatever apparatus eventually gets used gets bundled with a game it'd be much easier to market and sell on a mass scale. Imagine it being set up at a GS or Best Buy demo somewhere. It could sell quite well with the right software. |
It's not just the price it the fact you have to learn to keep your head and body still while playing. Plus the fact head tracking actually IMO hurt your aim in FPS more than helps it especially playing online. Your have a combine of your character movement plus head movement plus aiming with an controller. In another words as a hardcore gamer (someone who pay for both Trackir 3 and X45 joystick/throttle) even I don't care for TrackIR for FPS or racing. Even with flight sim like IL2, it took me time to learn to work my head (body) with joystick plus throttle.
