Head Tracking with Cliffs of Dover

[Novotny]

If NP have a monopoly, it's only because they're quite good at what they do. They don't force anyone to change their game code to ensure other solutions couldn't work - seriously, why would they bother with that? They almost certainly do ask developers to incorporate their work - but isn't that perfectly reasonable?

If my 'xxxx your pants' add-on was really good and accurately gave users a sense of filling their pants with faeces, why would I not ask Oleg et al to allow it too work? Shouldn't anyone who desires it not have the option to sense their pants filling up with crap?

For all who are interested, so far, the beta developer's SKU involves my mate standing behind you pissed out of his mind with a Samurai sword. It's working really good.

That comment has nothing to do with the topic, Vicinity.
If you have read the thread through as you say you have, you would have seen all the points made, both for and against.

It's all here: http://naturalpointofview.blogspot.com/

one side of it is there, Stipe and the other side is, there is no monopoly because there are alternatives... Mouse Look (aka Freelook) is one of them

Even just briefly looking over the supplied link, I am horrified by the lengths some people will go to in order to vilify something they have some sort of vendetta against.

If only this energy could be directed toward something useful to mankind.

Off topic: Thanks, Wolf_Rider.

@Novotny
How do you know this? Are you privy to the NDA between NP and 1C? Of course not. So, you are literally talking crap here.

@Everyone
6dof for your mouse is irrelevant. The mouse and the head have to be independent. You can't sit in the back of a stuka, fly the plane, move your head around and shoot bandit on your six. You need the mouse to aim the gun while you move your head. Freetrack allows you to do this. Mouseylook, who the hell knows or cares except W-R.

I see this thread is now one of the top on the board again! Also, I see that the date for release of CoD may be delayed. Coincendence? I leave you to speculate.

You are right. This is one of the alternatives. Only one or better so far the only one.I'm sure suddenly there will be some hack claims. And where is that patent everyone is yapping about?

Aren't track ir users doing the exact same thing here, in this topic?
Same deal, just on the opposite river bank.

Ok, I do love a bit of surreal funny but I seem to be jesting with those who are living there full time.

I haven't claimed to know anything; I've merely made suppositions based on reasonable conclusions.

That's all I have to add.

Edit: Stipe, I didn't say who was horrifying me. Might be everyone.
