[QUOTE="Geek, post: 2052977, member: 246624"] Redneck Techie's vision for a pico projector [URL="http://gizmodo.com/5299350/wireless-game-gun-increases-game-realism-by-3-arm-fatigue-by-100"]Wireless Game Gun[/URL] has been realized...by [URL="http://gizmodo.com/tag/pst/microvision/"]Microvision[/URL]. As you can see, the controller allows gamers to break free from their fixed screens and project the battle on any surface. [INDENT] Using the infinite focus capability of the PicoP display engine, combined with a motion sensing module, it's now possible to play video games on multiple surfaces, all while tracking your character's point of view in 3D space. [/INDENT] Granted, this platform looks cool and everything, but it seems like you would have to have a perfectly spherical room to take full advantage of it.
