What would a mousless, keyboardless FPS look like, I wonder...

Bill Gates says this is coming and will begin in a little more than a year. I wonder what a First Person Shooter would be like? Would you point with your finger? I wonder...

I'd better file a patent for Star Trek style holograms. I hear you don't really need to be too specific on the technical details.

i wouldn't want a controllerless FPS. i would still want something controlled with my hands, even a touchscreen.

I am trying to imagine how it could work. I suppose you could have a small laser pointer strapped to your left index finger, which you would point at the screen to center and hold on the enemy and then fire by twitching the right index finger. I am trying to imagine it; I think it could be pretty cool, actually.

I have absolutely no interest in this kind of tech. For gaming or otherwise. I don't want to be flailing around to get my work done. It makes no sense to do it that way.

Novint Falcon?

also, Bill Gates saying that is just hype for Project Natal

playing FPSes without a mouse & kb would suck (assuming the person playing wants to play well)

Primitive

i am waiting for the direct neural interface with far infrared
- think it and it happens

Of course - just like with VR SW, you'd have to train it



what do you call "near future" ?


Probably the more immediate future would use the player's eye movements to read more instant commands than the hands can achieve
- the military uses this and it should filter into gaming

FPS without a controller or mouse... I won't like it really.

This. Same reason I have no desire to get a Wii. If I want to play a video game I like sitting on a couch with a controller and playing, if I wanted to move around and what not I'd go outside.

I don't see it happening for a FPS game - just wouldn't be intuitive at all.

Just join the marines if you want to know what an FPS without a keyboard is like

 

[ViviTheMage]

I like keyboards/mice/controllers though.

IED spamming by some opponents just takes the fun out of it.

Do we still get power ups and the ability to save incase we die?
