With the Wii’s MotionPlus on the market, and Microsoft’s Project Natal and Sony’s PlayStation Eye likely to hit this year, Valve, developers of hit series such as Half-Life, Left 4 Dead and Portal, showing support for Razer and Sixense’s new, as-yet-unnamed motion control hardware for the PC.
The system uses electromagnetic fields to track movements along six axes, offering one-to-one movement and gesture support – and it’s accurate to within one millimeter of position, and one degree of orientation.
Chet Faliszek, team lead on Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2 said “With this controller, Razer and Sixense have created the most immersive way to play our games. For us and for our customers, this release represents motion-enabled gaming that’s more integrated and visceral than any platform has so far achieved.” (www.razerzone.com)
