A company that specialises in 3D touch technology, Novint Technologies, have announced they are developing drivers for World of Warcarft. The drivers will be for use with the Falcon controller, which replaces the mouse or joystick in some games.
This "robot" as Novint call it, will allow players to feel game actions, such as casting spells and combat:
Novint plans to
release the drivers for the award-winning Falcon game controller, which
allows users to feel realistic game actions, objects, environments and
force feedback, later this year. The drivers, built using WoW's LUA
Scripting system, will let players feel their character's actions,
spells, enemy attacks and other interactions dramatically enhancing the
gaming experience. Novint is also integrating a unique interface in the
game which gives players easy access to a customizable selection of
spells and other game inventory items, allowing players to intuitively
map up to 36 actions to Falcon movements with an in game User-Interface.
This comes at the modest price of around $189, but that's the bundle.
