GZ Interview: P5 controller Interview: Essential Reality breaks new ground with its innovative PC peripheral
Marketing Vice President David Devor chats with GameZone about their recently released PC peripheral, the P5 controller.

Names of bundled P5-enabled game titles revealed.
Bundled with the P5™ glove will be the soon to be released “Hitman 2”, a 1st and 3rd person shooter game published by Eidos , “Tiger Hunt”, a tank-driving warfare game and “Beachhead 2002”, an arcade-style war game

The P5™ is a glove-like peripheral that has been engineered to capture five-finger bend sensitivity enabling gesture recognition, combined with an optical tracking technology that will capture the movement of the hand in 3D space with six degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, yaw, pitch and roll), without the use of the mouse, joystick, keyboard or the like.

USB 1.1 compliant HID Specification compliant, 2 USB Interfaces provided - Native P5 Mode, and Standard Mouse mode

Essential Reality plans to support all platforms that are USB based (i.e. PC, Mac, and next generation gaming systems, including PS2 and X-box).
