About the Technology:

The advanced game controller is a patent pending method developed by the Army for use in simulation and training environments. This technology uses a variety of sensors, a weapon replica and a head mounted display to allow the participant to interact with a computer through standard keyboard and mouse hardware connections. The player’s actions like running, jumping, crouching, and shooting control the first person game character. No separate keyboard or mouse inputs are required.

Key Advantages

Wireless interface from the gamer to the computer allows realistic and full range of motions

Actual movement and actions of the player control the game / simulation character

Interface utilizes standard computer hardware

Plug and Play with America’s Army Video Game

The advanced game controller technology has been prototyped and tested. This technology is patent pending and is available for licensing from the US Army. A demonstration with the prototype can be arranged. Collaborative R&D with the Army is a possibility.
