Novint has been previewing their new Pistol Grip at the Gamers Conference this past week for the Novint Falcon. The cost has gone down even further for the Falcon. $189 for the device. and $20 for the extra gun handgrip. Now, I openly admit that the new Pistol Grip has no real educational value… at least not anything that I value. Alright… I shouldn’t be so harsh. Here is a video review with the haptic handgrip.
Educational Uses? Well, there is ROTC. You can learn to shoot and get real feedback. It will certainly add another dimension that will attract kids. First-person shooter games are massively popular.
For me, it mostly just shows the potential of different handgrips. They mention a steering-wheel as a possible handgrip. What other useful handgrips can you think of?
