Sixense Truemotion 3D System Makes Nintendo’s Wiimote Look Like Junk

November 27, 2008 by Geeks are Sexy | 1 comment

Even if the Wiimote was revolutionary when it initially came out, it really can’t compare to the motion-sensing capabilities of Sixense’s new Truemotion 3D system. Check out the video — it’ll blow you away.

Rather than using an accelerometer like the Wiimote, the Truemotion system uses a magnetic field to track both of your hands at the same time in real, 3D space, with a very fast, 10-millisecond refresh rate and accuracy of up to a millimeter. Let’s just hope that this kind of system will one day be cheap enough to be implemented in our favorite gaming consoles.
