Combine the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Kinect, add incredible precision and a controller you can separate into two parts, and you get Mad Genius, a motion-controlling gamepad that could change the gaming world.
How precise is it? Try 1/100 of an inch. Watch the video demonstrating the technology with an Xbox 360 version of Skyrim, and you'll see how it gives you full 3D control, sensing your jumps, moves and ministrations with astonishing accuracy.
So far, you'll see a tangle of wires connected to this prototype, but this is just the beginning. Soon to land on crowdfunding site Kickstarter, the company says the final shipping product will be completely wireless.
Some viewers of the company's YouTube video sensed some lag, but Mad Genius tweets that the delay is not in the controller:
The controller fires the command as soon as the player does the motion. There is no delay. (@youtube youtu.be/9R15NhJyPEc?a)— MadGenius (@MadGeniusCntrl) May 12, 2013
