Rob,<br><br>That must be disappointing though I have to say this does sound interesting and exotic as a method of control. I'm certain there must be people in performance art or forms of theatre that involve modern media that must think these are absolutely perfect; "able to track, to 1mm of accuracy, a position in 3D space - at up to
2000 miles per hour! Real World Golf uses Gametrak to measure your
swing 60 times per second - in real time." That's not bad at all at 10 bucks! <br><br>That said; I wouldn't know what do do with one right here and now either. Erm... a interface for digital puppeteering? Sensor for room-length strings tuned to be used as LFO-type modulation signals? I suppose that in the end our controllers must line up with our needs but I see no reason for mortal embaracement here at all. I hope this one finds a good home and I hope you find something that suits your needs.<br>

<div style="">I'm mortally embarrassed to report that the $9.99 controller from Amazon:<div class="im"><div></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Catz-Real-World-Bundle-Gametrak/dp/B00125V2I6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1236093078&sr=8-1" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Catz-Real-World-Bundle-Gametrak/dp/B00125V2I6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1236093078&sr=8-1</a></div>
</div><div><div><br></div><div>is anything but wireless. It's wire-ful. More like string-ful: the controller sits on the floor and a pair of retracting strings attach to your "golfing gloves" and reel in and out as you swing a tiny golf club.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Um, anyone want it? It's yours for the cost of shipping. Or if you live in SF, come by and pick it up. It might make for good performance art, but it's not what I'm looking for.</div><div>
