Motion-sensingController posts

It looks like it's taking Razer a bit longer to perfect its motion controller for PC games. The PC game peripheral company announced and showed off a working prototype of the controller at CES last January playing Left 4 Dead 2. At the time the company said the controller would be released to the masses later in 2010.

Now our sister site Engadget reports that Razer showed off the controller again earlier this week at Intel's Developers Forum. Engadget also reports that the controllers, which are being co-developed by Sixense, are now set for release sometime in early 2011. Razer also showed concept art that imagined the technology being used as an exersise band. There's no word on when that product will be released. You can check out a trailer with the updated motion sensing controller demo after the jump:

Best known for their family of gaming PC mice, Razer has just announced a plan to develop a motion sensing and gesture controller for PC games. In a press release today, Razer announced they would be teaming up with another company, Sixense, to create such a controller that will use "electromagnetic fields to track precise movements along all six axes for use in current and future generation PC games."

Razer is showing off a prototype of their controller at CES using Valve's Left 4 Dead 2. Valve's Chet Faliszek is quoted as saying, "For us and for our customers, this release represents motion-enabled gaming that's more integrated and visceral than any platform has so far achieved." The actual product is scheduled to be released sometime later this year but no price points have been announced.
