Back in March I posted to the PacRimX blog a story about the Darwin Controller. Well, here we are five months later and still not product. When I posted the story about the ASUS controllers I thought back and wondered what ever happened to the Darwin. Well, tonight when I popped over to Gamespot there was a story about the Darwin, an interview with the CEO of Motus, the makers of the Darwin motion controller.
Motus CEO talks Darwin motion-controlled
It’s an interesting interview, and well worth a read. Not a lot of specifics about what kind of support yet, or what platforms it will be available for. But there is a mention of a Spring release and a price point between $79 – $100. I am dying to get my hands on one of these to test with Second Life. As I said in the other post about the ASUS controllers, I am really disappointed with the Space Navigator. It’s a terribly clumsy non-intuitive device for 3D virtual worlds.
