Gametrak wins best of GC

GametrakAt the Games Convention in Leipzig, the Gametrak controller was awarded the Best of GC prize. The Gametrak is an interesting idea, and should lead to some novel game designs.

The Gametrack consists of a pair of gloves, with wires attached to each leading straight down to the base unit. Using mild tension on the wires, the unit can calculate the angle, position and velocity of each of the player's hands. The first game to be released is a first-person fighter called Dark Wind, with a golf game coming soon.
