    Wait....

    "...a small electromagnetic field generator positioned on the desktop."

    ...what could possibly go wrong with that? :eyebrow:

    Exciting tech. But I wonder how many devs aside from Valve will be able to make use of it ...

    However, if they find a way to translate all the Wii/Play/Kinect inputs into Hydra inputs ... Mmmm!

    Another win from Razer!

    Guys? It's a motion controller, can we see some moving pictures so we can see how it... you know... moves?

    Nice video link.

    I'm not convinced it would be better than using a mouse and keyboard (at least for Portal 2) but looks promising and nice to see this sort of tech head the PC's way.

    There are lots of interesting things we can do with motion controller tech when it comes to the pc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9ujnzMPBoc
    This is the devkit of the same tech, ignore pricepoint as it has not been mentioned officially yet.

    But OMG, look at the lag on that (well found) video. Who would want to play any game with input lag light that... other than one live subscribers of course ;)
