He's just using adv. pod controller, get him out the chair and try it

[mabelandhoagie]

which pico projector are they using?

[UTbone04]

I'm surprised that you guys got 3rd place and not 1st. We got 1st place my year and it was just an analog audio mixer. This would blow ours out of the water in terms of complexity and innovation.

[archon808]

This is ridicoulous!

[phatgonk]

Awesome But....

Imo - when the head is dead center the side panels to the left and right of"chosen normal view" should be filled Xm Percentage with a blurredm projection to simulate peripheral vision..

Of corse this would mean your staight line of vision would never be able to turn a full 90 degrees, but thats okay.I dont believe your staight line vision does inrl any ways.Probally more like 80 degrees or so.

thats horrible, to much of a delay, if u notice whe he tries to make it go down it bearly does, in order for it to go down he'll end up hitting his head against da table, and if u play a fast pace game your going to end up with a serious headache and neck pain, 4 out of 10 wouldnt but

[lifeis2shortful]

@tumadremeclavo Your so stupid man

[tumadremeclavo]

@lifeis2shortful And how is that enstein?

[lifeis2shortful]

@tumadremeclavo Dude its a prototype, don't expect something to function perfectly for the first time, give it some time so they can improve it...

[tumadremeclavo]

@lifeis2shortful im just saying is bad, lol cause it really is, for example your in a gunfight and someone at your hose calls you, you look away and your dead cus ur not aiming no more, when with a remote you can still play without concentrating on the screen

[ArsenalFan20007]

@tumadremeclavo

its a prototype.

[MarkusPP]

Actually, glasses as a display doesn't sound bad.

[rawkmang]

Thanks for all the great feedback guys. We were only a team of three and we really appreciate all the support we're getting :D. Extra thanks to Owen Good of Kotaku for writing a story about our project. We could not be happier, except maybe if we won first. Then we would probably be a little happier.

[Picopros]

@rawkmang If you guys have anything related to pico projection or advanced display technology, we'd love to have you contribute to our website: Picopros.com! Really nice work!

[AryanMede]

@rawkmang Lasse Smedsvig in ArticNova wrote about this too! Give him some credit :D

[sanfelipe007]

@rawkmang eh dude how about a helmet projector? you move your head but not the scenario and a gun whit motion sensor or something that would be amazing

[UdonBullets]

Third? This is amazing! Must have been a tough competition.

[vadersdemise93]

Very interesting! And your on Kotaku!!!

[jdean2k6]

niceeee

[JominatorXS]

Head tracking yihaa

[ShadowUltra]

Oh, nice. I always wanted to not be able to take my eyes off the screen.

[furyofchiby]

Thats pretty awesome
