New Tactical Haptics website & new Reactive Grip™ controller
Just a little pre-Kickstarter teaser... ;) Check out the updated Tactical Haptics website and sneak peek at the next generation Reactive Grip™ Motion Controller that will be compatible with t...
I really like the improvements, however I have a few questions as well:
1) Aren't the sliding contactors too big for the currently slimmer handle? My impression had been that the contactors should be a minor influence on your grip, however this new design seems to show them as pretty much the entire grip on the handle. Up/downsides to the increased contact with the contactors?
2) It looks like the trigger is rather far from the handle in order to have room for a full finger under it in case of straight handle usage; isn't this too far from the hand? When you look at a gun, the trigger is right off the handle, however here it needs the space for a finger to fit behind it.
3) Wouldn't it be better to include a longer handle to incorporate different possibilities, like: two handed grip, gun handle (simply a trigger attached to the handle on top)? Ideally, you would have to change the settings so that the contactors move to the position of the setting (two handed, gun, etc.), or is this too much in one and better to develop different handles for different uses?
4) Around when can we expect the Kickstarter? Would like to know estimated price point as well; don't know if you have already received min/max price estimates from possible buyers.
