In answer to rouli, tracking performance is due to VTT’s ALVAR optical tracking package, which will be integrated into our next release of Goblin XNA. (CamAR is a USB 2.0 camera that is molded to fit the front of the VR920. Vuzix can tell you whether they will bundle CamAR with any tracking software when it’s released, but we were just given it as a camera.) As our youtube description mentioned, we are also using the orientation tracker built into the VR920 to determine the direction of gravity. However, that affects only gameplay, not tracking.

Reminds me of that table game with the holes in it that you have to navigate your ball through without it falling through the holes. Frustrating game. I like their version better, but it shows you the possibilities.

Maybe they should do a pinball game next with some inventive elements to the game. They’d only be limited by the size of their imagination. :)
