Ever wished you could control your computer simply by using nothing but your brain? That’s what the SmartNav 4 does, where the EG and AT models were specially manufactured to help the physically challenged and RSI-affected live a much better life, thanks to the inclusion of an infrared camera and a small reflective dot placed on the users head or cap to track motion that is then translated into mouse movements. In essence, this works just like the standard Wiimote controller system. The latest model has four times the resolution of its predecessor along with 25% more coverage and distance. The Ergonomic and Assistive models will retail for $399 and $499, respectively. Does this mean we’ll see a whole new level of gaming for both RTS and FPS genres?
