November 3rd 2003. eDimensional, the industry leader in virtual simulation game control systems announces the release of the next generation game controller, the TrackIR2(tm). With the award-winning TrackIR2(tm) head tracking system, gamers use natural head motion to look around their virtual environment without ever looking away from the screen, freeing up precious joystick buttons and mouse axes for other uses.
The TrackIR2(tm) at a blazingly fast 100 frames per second has almost twice the frame rate and 4x the data throughput of the previous model, the TrackIR. This means greater accuracy and smoother movement in-game, and makes the TrackIR2(tm) more compatible with the high refresh rates and resolutions of state-of-the-art computer monitors.
Jim Richardson, TrackIR2's creator says, "Now, with the TrackIR2's blistering speed and razor-sharp accuracy, TrackIR2(tm) can bring new levels of immersion and excitement to the premier flight simulators as well as a much wider variety of games."
