did i just say that out loud?]]>Apr 8th 2008 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/novint-drums-up-3d-touch-rights-to-sign-publishers-for-its-hap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/novint-drums-up-3d-touch-rights-to-sign-publishers-for-its-hap/
Remember the game Descent? With a good keyboard layout, you can strafe up/down/left/right.

The Falcon looks to be much easier, but is it worth it?

The Angry Intern
The whole point is to get the crowd interested in the device and ready their $$$. They don't care if the device is useless or not, they just want money.

BF2 is still good. The mods make it great.]]>Apr 9th 2008 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/novint-drums-up-3d-touch-rights-to-sign-publishers-for-its-hap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/novint-drums-up-3d-touch-rights-to-sign-publishers-for-its-hap/

In terms of response compared to a mouse - with some tweaking to your own preferences, and even a tiny fraction of the time spent learning to use a mouse in games, I believe you will be better with a Falcon than with a mouse.

On the reception at the E for All booth, sorry if it seemed we didn't want feedback. We definitely do. Trade shows involve long hours, and we are typically swamped with people as well, so sometimes it's not easy to get everyone's input. Case in point though, I personally got some great feedback at E for All regarding the pistol grip, which contributed to its design. Another case in point, I am Novint's CEO, and scouring messages past midnight looking for people's opinions. Feedback and community are key components to our success, and if you post on Novint's message boards I guarantee your voice will be heard and that I'll personally respond.

btw, we are working on a WoW mod already ;)

thx all, tomnovint]]>Apr 9th 2008 2:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/novint-drums-up-3d-touch-rights-to-sign-publishers-for-its-hap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/novint-drums-up-3d-touch-rights-to-sign-publishers-for-its-hap/
Did you guys ever think of expanding your market to musicians? It would be fairly easy to use the Falcon as a MIDI/OSC instrument :]]]>Apr 10th 2008 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/novint-drums-up-3d-touch-rights-to-sign-publishers-for-its-hap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/novint-drums-up-3d-touch-rights-to-sign-publishers-for-its-hap/Apr 10th 2008 1:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/novint-drums-up-3d-touch-rights-to-sign-publishers-for-its-hap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/novint-drums-up-3d-touch-rights-to-sign-publishers-for-its-hap/

You don't need to twist 90 degrees either. Because it's 3D, it is just as easy for the device to use the horizontal plane as it is to use the vertical plane.

But more importantly, this thing is about TOUCH. You can feel everything. You can grope around to your heart's content. Solid objects are completely solid. Squishy objects are squishy. Rough objects are rough. Sticky objects are sticky. And you can feel forces. You can feel when you get hit, and from where.

And of course it is not really meant for playing your existing games. It is for playing all new kinds of new games. Kinds of games that you couldn't really imagine before because they involve touching and feeling and pulling and pushing and all those things you could do in the real world but not in computers until now.
