Game Trak Theory

A work comprised entirely of "Air" instruments, using three-dimensional position sensors originally intended for Mad Catz GameTrak, a golf simulator/video game. Game Trak Theory explores the intersection between
"real-life" physical intruments and their associated physical gestures.

The work was composed and performed by Adam Somers (Air Drums), Nick Kruge (Air Harp), and Charlie Forkish (Air Washtub Bass).

The same for me on Windows 7.. Do you already know how to fix this? Please do tell me :) !

[spaceminers]

yes, i just aquired a gametrak v2.0. it is recognized by winxp but does not calibrate. it also loads an older driver v1.3 i think. where can one find drivers and support software?
