GTR does NaturalPoint® TrackIR Enhanced™
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SIMBIN DEVELOPMENT TEAM AB ANNOUNCES NATURALPOINT® TRACKIR ENHANCED™ MODE SUPPORT
Genre First for Head Tracking Technology, One Step Closer to the Ultimate Racing Experience
Vara, Sweden, May 25, 2004 - SimBin Development Team AB today announced their upcoming racing simulation title, GTR, will include complete support for NaturalPoint's TrackIR Enhanced™ mode.
Oregon-based NaturalPoint® Inc.'s TrackIR™ is a high-performance head tracking system that enables hands free view control in popular games and simulators. A slight turn of the head causes the in-game view to pan in any direction, independent of mouse, keyboard, and joystick commands. Look out windows and around highly detailed cockpits as if you were in a real GT car.
Breaking Out of the Box
Constrained by a small view from the traditional computer monitor, it is often difficult to see the optimum racing line, and hard to know where opponents are on the track. This exciting technology allows the sim racer to have complete situational awareness and become part of the game world. It is now possible to see the apex of a hairpin turn before the turn begins, which helps the user to keep the car on the fastest line, as well as providing much better reaction time to any spinouts or dangers present on the track. Additionally, having a full 360 degrees of vision, the learning time for a new circuit is dramatically reduced as the user can easily identify and memorize the location of trackside objects for turning and braking references. Already lauded for its incredible immersiveness, GTR, with the help of the TrackIR™ system, puts the enthusiast into the car as never before.
Enthusiasts Demand Latest Technology
Now in its third generation of hardware, the TrackIR™ system has been popularized by flight simulation software, and SimBin Development Team is proud to offer the first racing simulation title with full support. "GTR represents a new benchmark in racing simulations, and fully supporting TrackIR Enhanced™ mode in the game is one more example of our continued commitment to delivering the latest technology to the racing enthusiast. We developed on the brand new TrackIR 3 Pro™ and worked hand in hand with NaturalPoint® to get the most out of the system. You'll also find a custom GTR profile built in to the latest TrackIR™ drivers. Coming from the racing simulation community as fanatics ourselves, we know what features the hardcore racer wants to see, and as a company, we are committed to fulfilling the wish lists of racers everywhere," said Ian Bell, head of studio, SimBin Development Team.
About GTR
GTR is the new ultra-realistic simulation by SimBin Development Team AB to be released later this year. Based on the FIA GT world championship racing series, GTR includes all of the cars and drivers from the standard season as well as the prestigious 24 Hours of Spa race. Containing an unparalleled degree of detail and authenticity comparable to the most exacting flight simulators, GTR challenges all expectations of what a racing game should be. Developed and tested by champion GT drivers utilizing actual racing telemetry data from the featured teams, GTR will deliver the most realistic driving experience the world has seen to date.
About TrackIR
The TrackIR is a one of a kind gaming controller designed to allow accurate control of characters and environments through natural head movements. It’s easy-to-use interface and unobtrusive form factor has made it the premiere head-tracking controller.
In enhanced mode the TrackIR™ interacts directly with the game, instead of emulating a mouse. The most important benefit of this is absolute positioning. No matter where the user goes, the view will always return to the game's dead center. With absolute positioning the user can set up dead zones and non-linear motion scaling, because there is a reliable center point to work with. Plus, the mouse is now free to do the things the user expects the hand to be doing, independent of the view.
TrackIR™ is available from leading gaming resellers including E-Dimensional, RC Simulations, PC Aviator, Smartbytes, and NaturalPoint’s own online store.
