From mandala@online.rednet.co.uk Thu Jul 24 17:12:32 1997 Date: 21 Jul 1997 12:12:50 GMT From: mandala Newsgroups: sci.virtual-worlds Subject: APPS: "Look & Click" optical tracking controller The possibility of "look-and-click" replacing the computer mouse comes a step nearer as Vision Control Systems (http://www.visioncs.com), a UK company part of Ferranti Technologies Ltd, unveils its VCS technology. Low-cost and lightweight, the accuracy and speed of VCS technology will appeal to computer users in applications as widespread as computer games, pilot training, advertising research and as an aid for disabled people. Initial application trials (http://www.visioncs.com/app.html) have shown that VCS light weight (less than 100g), compact and flexible design make it particularly suitable for custom integration into a wide range of OEM products. Vision Control Systems has explored a variety of styling/headset configurations and is currently trialing "headband" and "visor-mounted" alternatives. Vision Control Systems is already working with application partners and will be licensing the technology to companies which wish to benefit by incorporating VCS into their own products. Evaluation equipment and software is now available - this provides an ideal platform for exploring the potential of the technology and developing products with "look-and-click" control. Potential application partners should contact us via our web site for further information: http://www.visioncs.com Or Email us directly at: info@visioncs.com Vision Control Systems "Control Technology of the Future" [MODERATOR'S NOTE: Commercial postings are offered on this newsgroup as a public service.
