Dan, great to see some Sixense people on MTBS, welcome. Be honest with me now - how excited are you guys over what's been happening in the past couple of months? The Hydra was apparently first released in 2008, and I'm willing to bet that's about how many worldwide sales you had up until recently. It's an interesting technology, sure, but as a peripheral competing with mice and Xbox gamepads, when the output device was always and only ever a 2D monitor, the relative merits of a Hydra don't jump right out at you. Now, though, 10,000+ developers and early adopters are on the verge of having a great home HMD, looking at their mice and gamepads, and suddenly realizing, "Oh damn, that just won't do anymore, will it?" There are plenty more such people in the making, too. I just had a friend of mine over, sat him down with my Hydra, Portal 2, and 2D monitor, and (being the hard-bitten cynic he is) he said essentially, "This is cool and all, but can I just use the mouse, please?" When I explained the FPS game I want to make with the Hydra, however, a concept that is not merely enhanced by the Hydra but dependent upon it, he was floored; I may have even found myself a level designer.
You Sixense guys created the perfect device to compliment an HMD, and toughed out five long years of such an HMD not existing; your ingenuity was almost too far ahead of its time, but you managed to stay positive through the slumps, support the tech, and pump out stuff like this excellent demo. I couldn't be happier for your long-overdue success, and I might be your hand controller competitor in a few months! Take a victory lap, please, and tell us - how does it (finally) feel?

I'll look around by looking around. Oculus spoiled me
