Worth Reading?
Sure, you might think you have seen this before, and you would almost be right. Chances are what you actually saw was a version of this device that costs a ton more.
This model however, the Novint Falcon, costs a fair bit less and more or less does the same stuff. Not only can you work within a 3D space with this controller, but you can play games and they feel real. Like there is a “launch the chicken” game where you pull back and then release, basically stretching out the chicken like a rubber band, and as such, the further you pull back, the more resistant the controller gets.
So sure it could be fun, and sure its cheaper than its $1k+ predecessor, but its still really expensive for a simple gaming controller. $239 is just too much for something like this, I mean a Nintendo Wii is only $10 more.
