I know this is kind of the wrong forum for it, but I think everybody needs to see this.

Ultimate Battlefield 3 Simulator - The Gadget Show - YouTube


Ten infra-red motion tracking cameras continually monitor the real-time movements of the gamer on the omni-directional treadmill. This data is sent to the PC running Battlefield 3 to control the speed and direction of the in-game character.

The same cameras also track the direction in which the gamer points their wireless gun. Using this information the simulator can rotate the 180-degree projected gaming image around the dome to keep the gamer immersed in the action.

The immersive experience is completed by a pixel-mapped, ambient LED lighting system used to flood the dome with colours direct from the game; and a bespoke Kinect camera hack makes it possible for jumping and crouching in the dome to be replicated in the game.

is it just me or the input lag was pretty bad? I probably get nauseous playing that haha...good concept though.

It would be awesome if Battlefield 3 can support Track IR in the future..imagine head tracking + eyefinity + joystick for dogfighting :sweetjesus:

but i doubt it because the game doesn't even ship with joystick support and will be patched in :seriously:

that treadmill needs to turn into one of those parachuting simulators for when you're ejecting/jumping out of a chopper etc :fullofwin:

So when you get hit, what do you get hit with? Is there some guy standing by, and waiting to shoot you with a bbgun or something?
