Click here to view the embedded video. Microvision is happy to announce that they have teamed up with Intel to create a brand new gaming system that will help motivate gamers to get up from their chairs and really get into the game. The prototype that they have created is a first person shooter game, but the controller is actually the character’s rifle. Instead of using a fixed monitor, the system uses Microvision’s SHOW WX projector, which is mounted to the gun controller. The game system allows the user to move around his room to display the digital environment. In other words, when the player turns left, the character turns left. The character’s movement is still depending on buttons on the gun, but this technology allows the gamer to experience the game in a way that no one else has yet to attempt. Microvision and Intel plans to display the technology this weekend at the Intel Extreme Masters PC Gaming Tournament in Edmonton Alberta. “The game application takes advantage of our PicoP display engine’s infinite focus,” Brown says. “We believe that Microvision’s technology can be used to create a new level of realism and interactive freedom for gamers. As the worldwide market for video games exceeds $50 billion, we are very excited to partner with Intel to showcase this new advance in gaming technology to the world’s best gamers at Intel Extreme Masters.” [via Microvision ]
