Another cool consumer level input device

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Someone posted about the wireless device that tracks some biometric data, that can then be fed as input into a suitable games environment.

Here’s another one ( not released yet, but showcased recently )…

http://www.ball-it.com/products.html

It’s a wireless golf-ball sized accessory, that has 6 degrees of freedom motion control.

On the site, it states that it works as a…
– portable computer mouse
– measuring tape, 3D compass
– 3D model controller
– pedometer & fitness logger
– remote control for PC.

Additional end-user applications can be implemented using simple SDK.

Might be of interest to some on the list, who are developing custom games that require a novel input.
