The Novint Falcon Does GDC

novfalcon

Joystiq has an entry showing the Novint Falcon haptic interface in use at this year’s GDC (I mentioned the device last year if you recall – reLink). The comments might be worth watching.

The Falcon reminds me of Sensable’s devices (Link) so it’s interesting to see a convergence between a sculpting tool like what Sensable makes and a gaming/interface device like the Falcon. All I can think now is, at under a $100, how ripe the Falcon will be for hacking. Combine that with an open source app like SharpConstruct and Sensable might have some competition.

The tools continue their downward migration.
