3DXense Enhances Your Project
Bring a new level of realism and playability to any game, and astonish your audience with:

ü     natural instinctive swings of swords, racquet, club, etc., as if swinging the real thing - no more superimposing 2D mouse and keyboard commands onto 3D interactions !!

ü     accurate physics of impacts/ ball-returns - twist the racquet slightly and see how the ball is directed back

ü     chopping virtual objects along any desired plane-of-cut

ü     swaying 3DXense to influence flow of objects / flock of particles/ swamp of bees/ forces in the 3D virtual environment

ü    tracing 3D magical symbols of spells

ü     combining handheld arsenal's controls with 3D locomotion within one device

ü     realistic whip- or rope-plays

ü     Gun can be used on all types (LCD, Plasma, CRT, projector) TVs and monitors

ü   Combining Gun and joystick/locomotion function in one tracker

ü    Healthy gaming - exercising the upper abdomen and arms while having fun

... and much more !

 

Easy To Implement!

Our 3DXense SDK includes code samples which make implementation a snap.  For some games it is almost a simple matter of "cut-and-paste" of the demo codes to existing game code for the process.  We also include thorough documentation, guidelines and suggestions to game development and attentive developer technical support.

How It Works
3DXense is a USB input device that uses Infra Red (IR) tracking technology to track the positions of the IREDs  (InfraRed-Emitting Diodes) on the tracker wand.  The driver algorithm then reconstructs the 6 degrees-of-freedom of the tracker wand and uses the info to move the virtual arsenal, such that the user would handle the virtual arsenal exactly as he moves the wand in 3D space.  This technology is highly tolerant to noisy environment and does not require specially prepared environment for its operation.  It is also fast-responding, wireless, feather-weight and does not take up large space to operate.

Main features

ü     full accurate 3D/ 6-DOF tracking

ü     very affordable - retailed at about the price of a good-quality joystick

ü     wireless - no entangling wire to impede free manipulating movement

ü     small-size and feather-weight - just a small "AAA"-size torchlight

ü     highly tolerant to cluttered environment - compared to other existing 3D tracking technologies, the wand does not require special preparation of 'clean' operating environment

ü     fast response (3ms) - no observable lag

ü  fast 68 fps update rate

ü     no moving mechanical part - performance won't be degraded by wears and dirt-cloggings

ü    very-low power consumption - 1 X "AAA" size battery for days of usage

ü     little desk's space required for mounting all the components

ü     large span of tracking volume

ü     Optimal technology - Will stay for decades to come !!
