It's an indisputable fact that magical things can come in mullet-clad packages. The collected works of Billy Ray Cyrus, the 1994 hit Beastie Boys track "Mullet Head" -- and now, from yet another unlikely, mulleted source: The PC VR Game Gun. If you'd like to cast off the veil of time and peer into the unthinkable future of video gaming, the YouTube video posted after the break should serve as an adequate portal into the world of things yet to come.
By merging a toy gun, a PC gamepad, a LCD screen and a Gyration Air Mouse, the nameless modder created a pretty clever (and relatively inexpensive) head tracking system that's just perfect for first-person shooters -- especially F.E.A.R. on the highest difficulty setting. Sorry -- you can't play it on easy. The gun runs on extreme high octane action.
This is a really old concept that was done months ago via a website called 'Ted - Ideas For Life' that's sponsered by some car company. Each week, they make a few new video by world renoun speakers on philosophy, statistics, energy conservation, energy production, new video game toys, really anything. Along as its a new innovative idea, someone can get their own 30 minutes of speach at the annual convention and videos are then released throughout the year.
Anyways, someone did this with a Nintendo Wii's controller sensor bar and by using two cheap rf-pens you buy for presentations that make the little 'dot' on the screen. He was also able to use the two rf pens to rotate, enlarge, change image size, etc just like the Microsoft touch surface which was pretty awesome. Then he put the two pens into a 'gun object' and showed a game doing the exact same thing. He had built goggle instead of the lcd screen though.
I may sound like a hairist, but this does seem less credible coming from this guy then it would from a person who didn't see Joe Dirt's hair and think "I need that hair due"
it;s a popular ytmnd meme, a dude with a mullet put an ad in the newspaper saying "WANTED: Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. etc. etc." then there have been endless variations on it, always accompanied by 80s classic "push it to the limit".

i know a lot of people with entertainment systems in their garages. ever heard of mancaves? or in dark wayne's case, batcaves? hell, HGTV has a show dedicated to them...
Don't forget their other show "Garage Mahal" which is man caves in a garage. Yeah, I seasoned passed both those shows even though I live in a rented townhouse. A man can dream can't he?
this thing would be way better with a wireless nunchuck type of controller connected to it for movement forward, and how it already is for movement of the head from side to side.
