I dont see it taking off. Sorry to say even though it is the first non optical way of tracking, it is also a controller that relies purely on motion.

You loose the conveniance of the tactile controller while gaining the headaich of having somethings to loose. You also loose the conveniance of just turning the device on and going nuts, which is what microsoft was trying to do with there product.

I dont see this working for casual consumers. so much crap you can loose, motion capture might be really cool with it, but I dont see something like this doing the trick unless its a single divice that the user can put on that would be able to track the entire body.

@khimera2000 I believe we are still in 2011 and not in 2021..

Lets see... you have to wear sensors... it only sees the motion of those sensors instead of your entire body position... seems like Wii controllers to me. It doesn't even say anything about ranging ability.

Huge step back not forward compared to imaging based motion detection for gaming.

I think this is pretty sweet. I would love to be able to throw my hand to the right to drop a power weapon. That would be sweet.

This could be useful as budget motion tracking for artists.

it would be cool to have a glove with a sensor on each finger, so that it would be like a multi-touch interface where you don't actually have to touch the screen.

Cool gadget, the possibilities are limitless, and the accidents that it can cause are also limitless. LOL

motion and 3d need to die!

Why not just make a pen that secretaries can use to write shorthand on any paper that sends it to their laptops via bluetooth that you can train to recognize what you write?

If you have to strap something to you body it is not true motion sensing, it is just device sensing. It is just a high tech version of tying strings to your arms and legs and then to some furniture. Look, ma! when I move, the dining room chairs can sense it and move with me! Amazing!

It's not the first non optical mo-cap. The first non optical that came to my mind was magnetic, but in fact there is also mechanical motion and inertial systems as well.

There have been radio and mechanical systems around for 20+ years. Not that they are without flaws but there have been many ways to do mocap in a non-optcal way for a long time.
