Awesome.

Now 'Best motion controller' can be added to a long list of things that the PC is best at :)

It will fail commercially due to a lack of software though :(

but I'll buy it as a collector's item :D

PlayStation 3's Sixaxis and DualShock 3 = Accelerometer. issue: vastly limited motion control

Wii Remote without Plus = Gyro, With Plus Accelerometer Gyro. Issues: Motion Tracking accuracy

EyeToy PS Eye = Camera. Issues: range and motion tracking.

Move PS Eye = Camera with Gyro (accelerometer isnt needed really here) issue: limited range of motion, easily blocked

Ultrasonic = ? Im not sure, I want to say Kinect due to the voice control but idk really. issue: no idea

Though they will probably have a software that map the regular control on it. Like that it will at least be functional for any FPS. A bit like some are doing right now with the wiimote but now they will have dual analog.

Support is easily done. Simple patch. I can hook the PS3's controller to my PC and use the full motion control in every game I own. All you need is a driver that tells the PC how to handle each motion. Plus Valve is known to support all new control tech, and many others do too. Plus Razer has a massive fanbase, none of Razer's products have failed, and I highly doubt this will change that track record.

Kinect doesnt even has part of its technology in it (depth sensor). In any case, I still have the feeling you didnt get my point. I know you can mix those technologies in order to make one of the 3D controllers. The point is, accelerometer and ultrasonic by themselves doesnt represent any controller on the market. Yet their graph name is "contrasting the different types of 3D controller". Beside "magnetic" and "camera" (eyetoy) those arent types of 3D controllers. Once again, im not saying the product isnt good, I just hate misrepresentation.

Gotta say, I don't get the big deal of it all. At best, it looks marginally better than what can be done with the Move, no matter how superior the technology may be. The only differentiator seems to be the way the controllers are used, he's using to similar controllers in each hand as far as I can tell. Or is that just me?

Either way, I'm not feeling it.

Found an ultrasonic controller

"How about Ultrasound, which lets you FEEL virtual objects."

Wow, thats awesome, where is this advantage on the graph? lol

using magnetism is... not ideal lol.  you'll have to have a limited amount of electronics near your person for it to work right.  building built with steel reinforcing will make it so it plainly doesnt work, not to mention computers, lights, tvs, gaming consoles will all warp the magnetic field, and if the magnetic field is strong enough will kill said hardware with extended use

also, magnets cant provide linear motion in a wide range, but before i condemn it i want to see one work wirelessly,  with the wires the magnetism can totally take a backseat and a lot of these problems wont be as big, but i still wouldnt use it :P  using the wrong cleaning products which uses static magnetism will damage your electronics after only a few uses

Well they have a partnership with Steam to have game devs use it as well as indy devs. The exclusive Hydra only levels of Portal should help move a lot of units. I already own a few games with steam achievements that can only be done with the Hydra.
