Imagine Metroid Prime 3 with those things! Or maybe the dodging balls game in Wii Fit. Either way, this guy's a !@#$% genious, and deserves a hell of a lot of money.

Post by: Piers on December 24, 2007, 02:52:33 pm: =/ This is what we will see next generation... Nintendo wouldn't add it onto the Wii right now, they'd wait so people have a reason to buy their next console. Either way, pretty awesome although how collisions would work in that is still confusing the crap out of me.... your character may stop moving but you don't...

Everything he does is so incredibly simple too.

Its actually very simple, the position and scale of the targets are offset based on the position of the users eyes. Unfortunatly it practicle terms I can't really see a huge amount of uses for it that wouldn't horribly overcomplicate both the coding and playing of a game.

Sorry, but I highly doubt a developer is going to use it (at least in the same fashion he did in the video)... if Ninty were to implement something like this, I'm sure they'd make a full head unit with screens much like the Virtual Boy was

If it were me, I wouldn't want to where a full helmet. (I probably would if it was made like that and if it was even made, but that's besides the point) This thing is amazing and I would deffinately try it if i knew how. If Nintendo did this with their next console, I'd hope it wouldn't be like the way the guy in the video was doing it by moving around everywhere, (unless he did that just to show how it worked.)
And last thing, :P if this were all to happen on Nintendo's next console, they better make it so you don't look around with the with the Wii Remote as the eyes. If it were an FPS/FPA the Wii Remote would just aim to where you're looking obviously.
