  1. In a similar sense how do you detect that you want to walk through the game , you can hold a gun and point it but how do you fire it. ( dont suggest shouting bang bang ). One approach would be to have the a controller in 1 hand and use one side of it ( analogue stick and shoulder buttons) - bit of a pain to hold. Going from a joypad to the wiimote introduced some interesting dilemas and the natal will make people think of new interesting ways to do things.
  2. I doubt it will be expensive , just a couple of webcams and a microphone connect to the 360 via USB , all the clever stuff will be software.
  3. One of the artists at work has just what you want.I've seen some of the stuff hes done for people and its quite good http://www.picture2print.com
  4. I have one of the old tomtoms , its fits snug into the central compartment. You have to remove the central console , cut a little hole in the back of the compartment to drop the wire, this then goes behind the stereo and the controls for the air blowers ( too early - need coffee ) and the it plugs it the 4 way cig lighter power point which is stealth installed to the front cig lighter . All I see is a red button in the cig lighter ( got a cheap £5, 4 way thing from halford ). The tomtom is fine , but it can lose the signal at times , but hey , its not on show and no mountings on the windscreen. On my TomTom the power lead comes into the back , so no need for the docking unit ( It would not fit if connected)
  5. My resolution was not to make any more resolutions - damn that fooked.

  7. roflmao All yours for the handsome price of £17K buy it now - o yeah thats a real bargain for 54000 on the clock. I recently heard of person looking at imports with only 4000 on the clock for that price. Ok it might not have all the QUALITY gear on as this but we all know which one we would choose. Is a nizmo exhaust better than a nismo one
  8. I voted yes . The have been more helpful than not. Its a pity we can't rate it 0->10. Servicing the car I have not had any issues with them.
  9. For one of the games I worked on , I came up with a 3d system for controlling the menus and gesture recognition system. The controller was a pair of gloves which each had a wire down to the controller. The problem was accurracy , the angle it could read was limited ( if you moved you hands left or right as the wire ws not straight it lagged ) , but the big problem was the wires , you could move you hands down quicker than it could spool the wire. You could pick , drag drop , scroll , do all the normal stuff you can do with a mouse , but by waving your hands in front of your face. It was ideal for a fighting game It was a cool system, but limited by the hardware and a simpliar system had to be used
  10. almost right , but you maths for import tax is wrong - you pay import tax on the total cost of the wheels and shipping you had (1500*1.1 +450) , it should be (1500+450)*1.1 2100 2145 Hehe whats $45 between friends. On deliveries in the EU I don't think pay import tax but still VAT. Also for your euro wheels you will need to factor in the cost of shipping. A couple of months ago I ordered some Time Attack wheels from Envy ( here in the UK) for the reasons you have stated and I believe it will be cheaper. For a set of wheels only its $3080 = £1660 , then theres the cost of shipping them over here and taxes etc. Envy did me a great deal of £2050 and that includes center caps and some lug nuts ). So i am now waiting , optimistic date is they arrive next week. droool
  11. Its almost that easy , first of all you need to add shippping costs for the courier and and then once its in England you you have VAT and import duty. Also the courier ( for example DHL ) might charge you administration charges. ($1600 + $200 ) * (1.1 * 1.175 = 1.2925) = $2326 = £1,253.59 I think the last time I got stuff from the states instead for the imprt and and vat at almost 30% , it was about 22%. But being on the pessimistic side means that you wont be caught short. The price is not that bad , looking here www.mynismo.com its not a bad price on ebay
  12. But that car in the video is not KITT , the one in the video is right hand drive , americans are left hand drive. Accept no substitute
  13. Dash on the OC goes there quite a bit. I'm not sure if hes on this forum too.
