Interesting equip - possible to use instead of joystick or track ir?

What do you guys think about this? Looks interesting, wonder if it would suit flight sims in some way?

Actually it could but might be awkward holding it up like that for long flight times. It does look awesome for FPS games though and would be a great companion to a TrackIR for independent head movement.

What happens when you need to scratch your nose?

Hmmm............

Remember that film 'Flight of the Navigator'?

I suppose it might suit a 'sim' of that.

In the meantime I'll stick to joystick, throttle and pedals.

yeah that was what it reminded me of to.

It actually looks pretty terrible for FPS's. Watching the demos it is clearly inferior to a mouse for smoothness and accuracy. Total gimmick.

It actually might be fairly usable for flying but really it seems much more immersive to use a stick.

Could use it for head movement I guess but why pay $125 for something you can do with Freetrack for a couple bucks?
