I haven’t kept up with this much and I certainly don’t mean to bash it, but what’s the deal with the globe on the end? In the commercials it looks like they’re waving magic wands around and tbh they look kinda stupid. Again, no disrespect or anything.
Does the motion sensor use the globe for position tracking or is it some sort of motion package or what?
Yes, it uses the ball as a 3D sensor if you will….Since the ball stays a constant size it’s easily and consistently able give a dept reading. When you incorporate this dept perception with the 3 axis accelerometer and gyroscope (six-axis) within the remote you get acceleration and orientation readings in that 3d space which is why they use a ball at the end. The different colors are programed by the developers to distinguish player 1 and 2 etc. and different statuses within a particular game. (if your using fire it may turn red)….When you use it in a FPS it feels like using a mouse. I use it in the MAG 2.0 beta and got awesome results. I actually feel like I have the advantage, because of how responsive and steady the aim is and how quickly i can move the cross-hare and steady the aim on each persons head. I also like how it interrupts an activity your doing by stabbing at the screen to knife another player. The move was done right.
First console I really want in a long time… plus fast internetz… sad lemm 🙁
