[14:47] <zratchet> hi
[15:08] <zratchet> anything new on snowballz yet?
[15:08] <geekwad> Nope.
[15:09] <zratchet> ok

[15:21] <straver> hello
[15:21] <zratchet> hi
[15:23] <straver> don't you get tired holding the mouse free in the air?
[15:24] <zratchet> maybe
[15:24] <zratchet> not any different than holding a game controller in the air
[15:25] <zratchet> gamepad...
[15:27] <zratchet> might have a robot arm-type thing to hold it if needed
[15:29] <straver> a pingpong game would be cool with this mouse
[15:29] <zratchet> yeah
[15:29] <zratchet> I think someone's doing something like that, a competitor
[15:30] <zratchet> I saw one briefly on g4 tv
[15:30] <zratchet> (techtv)
[15:30] <straver> ah
[15:30] <zratchet> but yeah, that would be fun
[15:30] <zratchet> starting games over again with pong heh
[15:30] <straver> hehe
[15:32] <straver> how fast movements can it handle? can you make like a boxing game work
[15:32] <zratchet> perhaps
[15:32] <zratchet> not sure yet
[15:32] <zratchet> I haven't gotten a prototype personally yet, just seen the demo at a few intown meetings
[15:33] <zratchet> and conferences
[15:33] <straver> oh I thought you was building it
[15:33] --- zratchet has changed the topic to: 3D Input Controller | http://sf.net/projects/threed-input | VB OCX available now!
[15:33] <zratchet> no, I'm software lead
[15:33] <zratchet> (designer/manager not programmer myself)
[15:33] <zratchet> getting the hardware team into the project
[15:33] <zratchet> and more software people
[15:34] <zratchet> are you interested in joining/
[15:34] <zratchet> ?
[15:34] <straver> dunno, is it the Snow Suprise project?
[15:34] <zratchet> well
[15:34] <zratchet> there's that and the driver project
[15:35] <zratchet> and we'll hopefully be getting more games soon too
[15:35] <zratchet> and maybe work with blender project to get support there
[15:35] <straver> do you have link that show the device?
[15:36] <zratchet> not yet sorry
[15:36] <zratchet> will soon I hope
[15:43] <zratchet> we should have a *movie* of the device in action soon! :D
[15:44] <straver> nice
[15:44] <zratchet> not sure what format it will be in yet
[15:44] <zratchet> maybe multiple
[15:44] <straver> is the driver windows only for now?
[15:44] * zratchet has iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, Pinnacle, Camtasia, so should be able to convert formats...
[15:44] <zratchet> no QT Pro :(
[15:45] <zratchet> for now yes, VB
[15:45] <zratchet> but we'll be working on porting
[15:45] <zratchet> need programmers
[15:47] <zratchet> know any from gametome that might know sdl or driver stuff?
[15:47] <straver> no not really
[15:48] <zratchet> hm
[15:49] <straver> but there must alot of people that want to help out with a project like this
[15:49] <straver> ask on sdl's mailinglist
[15:49] <zratchet> yeah
[15:49] <zratchet> I will
[17:35] <-- straver has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[19:59] <-- geekwad (~justsomeg@mkp.ca) has left #3dinput ("Kopete 0.10 : http://kopete.kde.org"\)
