A company that specialises in 3D touch technology, Novint Technologies, have announced they are developing drivers for World of Warcarft. The drivers will be for use with the Falcon controller, which replaces the mouse or joystick in some games.
This “robot” as Novint call it, will allow players to feel game actions, such as casting spells and combat:
Novint plans to release the drivers for the award-winning Falcon game controller, which allows users to feel realistic game actions, objects, environments and force feedback, later this year. The drivers, built using WoW’s LUA Scripting system, will let players feel their character’s actions, spells, enemy attacks and other interactions dramatically enhancing the gaming experience. Novint is also integrating a unique interface in the game which gives players easy access to a customizable selection of spells and other game inventory items, allowing players to intuitively map up to 36 actions to Falcon movements with an in game User-Interface.
This comes at the modest price of around $189, but that’s the bundle.
