Bohemia Interactive are unique amongst the great PC game developers in that they have not allowed their vision or games to be gobbled up by a lack of vision by predatory publishers ..many great PC code houses have .... Choosing not to water down the Operation Flashpoint sequel and instead giving the PC gaming community the ARMA series . And what a series .. the ultimate military warfare sim. Meanwhile somewhere Codemasters is destroying the good name of Op Flashpoint .. we still have the original though !
And we also have ARMA 2 (and 3 on the way). This is a perfect game to test the Zeiss headtracker with , having so many different control schemes for air and land vehicles as well as on foot sections. So lets go flying , tank driving and on foot soldering and check out how the headtracker performs...
All of which using the Carl Zeiss Cinemizer OLED hmd with headtracker enhances no end . I started by taking up a little bird expecting the headtracker to do the usual in cockpit views , soon however I discovered I could not only use the head tracker to look around , but also to pilot the helos ...
and as you can see in 3D too...
and in 2D
Whilst you may be familiar with the idea of using a headtracker and hmd to control camera rotation in land and air vehicles, the Zeiss brings something new, because it is so precise and mapped to mouse control we can also select targets and because we can do that in cockpits or tank turrets with ease, we can also do the same looking down your soldiers gun sights .. Now with the Cinemizer OLED headtracker you can look for your prey in the FPS sections of this game like so :
The experience is effortless, yes it is a new skill to learn, but really it is as easy as looking at your enemy, turning to face them or scanning the environment for them by looking for them is actually way cooler than dragging a mouse. Remember most games have some jitter built into their cross hair movement to mimic the effects of wind or your pulse as you snipe .. but just check how easy it is to scan for and aim at targets in ARMA 2 using the headtracker.. Improved aiming does not mean you are any faster with the trigger though!
All in all I have heard it said many times once you use a headtracker in a game you never want to go back to plain old mouse or joystick control , the wonder of the Cinemizer OLED headtracker is that it allows you to not only enhance vehicle FOV control ,targeting and flight but brings a whole new level of immersion to the FPS segments of the ARMA series ..
All without lag, or driver install, spacial set up, cost or lengthy calibration associated with traditional headtrackers.
One more important thing to note : your gaming position , the Cinemizer OLED headtracker self calibration is so slick , I spent all of my game time playing this lying back . With this headtracker you never need to have a special gaming chair , space or pose . Just sit or slouch ( !) like you normally do ...you will feel the accuracy as soon as you move that on screen cursor.
More to follow when I finally get my gaming rig refilled with Anti freeze and 3 parts Distilled water...
feeling brave .. don`t need to read the next part of my Zeiss Cinemizer OLED experience ? Purchase in the UK/EU the Zeiss Cinemizer OLED 3D iPack including iPhone adapter
and in the USA the Cinemizer OLED
