T3D PhysX Demo powered by the Novint Falcon

Hey guys.
When bored last week I decided to get my favorite weird controller interacting with the T3D PhysX demo:
It works really well, and you can actually "feel" the blocks as you touch them. When I get some more time I'm going to make some weird physics game, maybe a version of Boom Blox's "curling" multiplayer mode, of which I'm a big fan.
Work continues on Frozen Synapse apace - I'll be posting a lot more about it soon.

Wow, that looks epic! How do you feel the blocks? Is it just resistance? Or something more?

I admit it; I'm a geek.....love that thing! ForceFeedback?/for 'feel'...?? Perfect for a 3D 'Operation', game...or bomb defusing simulator....

"blikstad: when it asks for a code, enter "prisjakt" to take of another 40% if you're interested"
