LAS VEGAS--With all three home consoles supporting motion control in one way or another it's certainly odd that PC gaming has yet to adopt the technology. Traditionally, PC gaming is the platform others look to emulate but in the current generation of Wii remotes, Sixaxis controllers, and Project Natal, gesture-based gaming on the PC remains untouched.
At CES 2010 we've found that this is about to change. High-end PC gaming accessory manufacturer Razer, in conjunction with Sixense, have teamed up to make precise motion control on the PC a reality. Better yet, the companies are doing it with the help of videogame developer Valve.
Using a an electromagnetic field sent out from a single transmitter, the two-controller set up is able to create an exact one-to-one duplication of movements on-screen. Of course the technology can also support gesture-based commands, and more impressively, can detect location in space along six axes. There isn't a final design yet, nor is there a price point, but we were assured the Razer Sixense Ultra Precise Motion Controller will be available this year.
