That’s pretty F-ing sweet. Strategy games are going back to their root, I’m talking risk baby?
on a side note: what’s with people whining about who invented what? no body "invents" stuff any more, that when out with Thomas Edison. People just mix and match concepts to suit their need. They engineer the technology. Touch screens have been around for decades, long before the DS or Windows Tablet Edition and Microsoft Pocket PC or Palm Pilots for that matter.

It would get tiring playing a game like that for extended periods of time. With a mouse all you have to do is move your fist and lightly press your fingers. This would require full use of both arms. Not to mention that RTSs require a lot of clicking and moving.

lol, so whatever happend to 300 commands per minute? i think this kinda interface ought to do away without the voice requirement.
i mean when it comes to micro-management..

attack here, move here, attack here, move here, attack here, move here, attack here, move here, attack here, move here, attack here, move here, attack here, move here, attack here, move here, attack here, move here, attack here, move here,

not cool... better keep a bottle water beside u

Technology is only useful when it improves an experience. I don't see a real improvement using this method versus using a mouse. Talking to a computer is still somewhat flakey and requires a precise pronunciation of words. I can imagine people getting into heated battles and their mouths not keeping up with their minds.

Maybe Warcraft 3 just isn't the best showcase of what this technology can do. Did it also appear that the image was projected from above? It looks like some of the screen was shown on his arms.
