Lockhead Martin and the Prepar3d team said they will be backing the project.

 

I've invested as well and will be excited to try it out with FSX. This will be a more affordable way instead of having to spend thousands on cockpit parts and panels.

It sounds great! Ive always thought this would be the next step. I hope it doesnt cause neck strain or Headaches. I remember the Night Vision goggles we used in the Army years ago and they were literally a pain in the neck.

Seems that this is the same technology tried years ago. Also, unless I misread their site, they are in the stages of collecting funds for development and prototyping. That seems to indicate to me that they are a long way from reality.

:Yawn:

Almost 2 million dollars in funding and already backed by id Software, Valve, Epic, and other great game developers. I don't see them far off from having a commercial version released. In the mean time, I'll be happy with the developer version being released this Dec and can't wait to get truely immersed in FSX :)

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to integrate it with FSX. Perhaps using simconnect?

 

I know nthusim is bringing out a driver, but I am not too sure if that will support the head tracking.
