Novint Falcon and Neural Impulse Actuator
« on: July 02, 2008, 09:24:54 PM »
The Novint Falcon is basically a weird joystick turned on its side with more complicated and precise force feedback. Oh, and they make you pay extra for a grip. Will you/crysis support it?

The Neural Impulse Actuator reads signals from your mind and translates it into actions in game. Apparently. That or it senses blinking. Will the mod/crysis support this?

I don't think so. It's such a niche market it's not even funny. unless they start setting up demo's at your local circuit city/best buy, nobody's going to be interested in that on a large enough scale. Sure, i'd like to try it out, but not for 300$.

Sure, we'd be happy to implement it if someone want's to mail us a few of 'em..  ;D

It's definately odd looking but seems pretty cool.

I'd shoot a mail over to OCZ and Novint and ask for sponsorship. If they'll provide the hardware, you'll code the interface. And i'm sure they'd be willing to do it since your mod has such a huge potential fanbase and possibly a large amount of press that they'd snatch up the opportunity to provide you with multiple pieces of hardware and not just one, since your entire team is part of the process.

While you're at it, get us some sponsorship from these kind fellows:

http://emotiv.com/
http://neurosky.com/

I wouldn't mind one for free...and usable. =D

That has to be one of the weirdest joysticks I have ever seen.  I'll stick with my Sidewinder FF2 *prays it will work with this mod*.
