castAR

By bfisch1983, in X-Wing

Xwing was the first thing I thought of when I saw this

I love table top play vs a PC but it would be nice to use something like this so the ship movement could be much less prone to error. Playing the game with a PC checking movements, colisions, firing arcs, etc, would make it move much faster.

Of course this will all be some time away but I'm excited about the possibilities.

It's so strange seeing something like this being developed. This was the basis of sci-fi when I was a kid. I'm only 32 and so many things that were science fiction are becoming a reality.

Take cell phones for example, I remember when they first came out and only the "rich and powerful" had them. They were analog big and didn't do anything other then make phone calls. Now touch screens are standard and almost all phones are mini computers.

It kinda makes you wonder what our kids are going to be saying in 30 more years when they see things from their childhood becoming real.

Nostalgic moment over.

It would be pretty cool to see x-wing on this. Could have all kinds of clips for moving and shooting making to a lot more cinematic.
