Motion controls have been on PC before.

ask Microsoft about it. and then ask them about Kinect while you're at it.

ok, in terms of specifics, I now see that's a rip of the Wiimote.

but no one owns PC, you can't hold PC accountable for anything.

Title of this thread is hilarious. Thats all I need to say.

not motion controls like the wii or move, pc needs to stay in there own lane

You do realize motion controls are NOTa new concept. There have been motion controls since the NES (Powerglove). This is not a new concept. Using the word "copy" to describe anything that old is just hillarious.

but the glove wasnt 1 to 1 ratio like move for ps3, and it wasnt in 3d space like wii and it didnt revolutionize gaming from 3d implementation nor did pc

its own lane? It doesn't have a lane. Its a very versatile platform. I can't think of a single thing a console can do that a PC can't do better...

Kinect is for the PC, and in india you can buy a HP motion control device...the first real one for the PC..not the mouse logitech sells

I think I've seen this thread before and the exact same replys :shock:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PC_compatible

No mass-market personal computer hardware vendor dared to be incompatible with the latest version of Windows, and Microsoft's annual WinHEC conferences provided a setting in which Microsoft can lobby for and -in some cases- dictate the pace and direction of the hardware side of the PC industry

My laptop comes with above Windows 7 logo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Hardware_Engineering_Conference

The Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) is the annual software and hardware developer-oriented trade show and business conference where Microsoft elaborates on its hardware plans for Microsoft Windows-compatible PCs. It commonly features speeches from people such as Bill Gates, and generally has several sponsors including Intel, AMD, ATI et al

there's actually one of those controllers available in stores already. I've heard it isn't very reliable though. Oh, and it costs about $400 I think.

EDIT: maybe not stores... online though I'm pretty sure.

Motion sensing has never been on PC before. You can't just show off some useless prototype. It only counts if it is implemented into the mainstream so it is exploited by game companies. Until it reaches that part it is talk that really belongs on a tech forum, not a gaming forum. Well, maybe it can be here, but only in the way we talk about the ps4 or Wii2. It doesn't exist to us yet but it will potentially give us something. NIntendo is getting credit for introducing motion sensing because that's exactly what they did. They put their butt on the line with this tech and put hundreds of millions of dollars at stake. That counts for something. That pc tech does notGunSmith1_basic

Motion Sensing has a long history on the PC, actually. For instance, TrackIR (I own one so it is most definately available) and the before mentioned P5 Glove, both years older than the Wii.

Futhermore, Motion Sensing has been used in PCs in the medical and scientific fields for decades now. Hell they design cars and planes with 3D gloves.

It hasn't taken over as the control-method of choice on the PC simply because the mouse and keyboard is better. Head-tracking is the most useful form of motion control for gaming there is.

We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.

The PC world is a collective with one leader (e.g. leader in WinHEC). When it comes to PC hardware, Linux doesn't have the same influence as Microsoft.

Thats funny cause most people have have accused MS and SONY for copying NIN with the motion controles. Fact is...motion control is a console thing. SO if its on PC then yes...PC is copying consoles...OH and remember you PC gamers m/k betters all other control methods right?? "Flame shield is not on cause I dont need one"..later peeps

A mouse is a type of motion capture device i.e. it follows your hand movements.

My laptop's webcam includes software that tracks a human head i.e. part of facial recognition Windows NT logon.

devs aren't designing games around it though and about 0.00001% of the pc community has used any of this tech for gamingGunSmith1_basic

Hahahaha *snort* hahaha stop talking about things you know nothing about.

Yes, notice the date.

That motion-sensing controller was released for the PC in the 90s.

THE 90's!!!

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"]mouse is a motion controller.GunSmith1_basic

What? Yeah, it is. :roll:

Straight from Wiki:

In computing, a mouse is a pointing device that functions by detecting two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface.

Here's a quick link to a dictionary if you need it.

Motion controls have been on the PC for decades so it's actually consoles that copied them, yes even nintendo back in the 1980s would qualify as copying.

It may not have been used for gaming on the PC back then but it was used in other industries.

devs aren't designing games around it though and about 0.00001% of the pc community has used any of this tech for gamingGunSmith1_basic

that is true. Sidewinder and any steering wheel peripheral is motion sensing. It is still just a peripheral though, and it really is an exception that only applies to racing gamesGunSmith1_basic

A mouse is a peripheral. So is a keyboard. For that matter, so is the monitor and power cable.

I can give this link out all day.

What it's used in is beside the point: Motion Detection has been on PC for decades. Period.

Sixense was founded in 2007 with the intension of creation motion controls.

When did Sony announce their motion control? June 2, 2009.

So what's the difference between motion detection being optional on the HD twins and motion detection being optional on the PC in the past? The PC was still there first, as always. ALWAYS.

It's like everyone is talking about 3D now...When I bought my PNY GeForce 4 TI4400 it came with a set of LCD shutter 3D glasses and the software to turn any 3D game (3D as in like Quake or Doom or GTA3) into stereoscopic 3D.

This is old ground for the PC, and it didn't take off because IT SUCKS. Imagine having to twist and turn your remote for a 12-hour gaming sesh of TF2. Yeah, no thanks. With a mouse you get the accuraccy of motion controll (because it is motion control, just on a 2D plane) with the ability to REST YOUR ARM ON SOMETHING.

I imagine next gen motion controllers will be gone from consoles.

[QUOTE="ronvalencia"][QUOTE="GunSmith1_basic"] no it isn'tGunSmith1_basic

And with the Wiimote, you're dragging a sensor through the air. :roll:
