About Motus Games
Motus games was born in 2001, when a bunch of guys from MIT decided to bring immersive interaction and control to gamers. Unfortunately, the world didn't seem to be ready for motion based control. No one seemed to think anyone would get off the couch to play a video game. They felt this was odd considering that their first implementation allowed you to control a light saber – in their view, the holy Grail of all gaming. So off into storage the controllers went (truthfully, they went home with a few of the hard-core gamers for thousands of hours of unofficial testing). In the meantime, they focused on advanced motion capture technology in sports (iClub.net). Then a year ago or so, something called the Wii took off and all of a sudden it seems like the world was ready for what they have to offer. So here they are, seven years later (…talk about being way ahead of a technology curve) and they're bringing out a next generation controller for everyone to enjoy. Take a few minutes and check out their site and the newest evolution of motion control, codename Darwin.
