Hmm something like this is definitely a game changer for next gen flight sims as far as clickable pits go. It may eventually do away with joysticks all together who knows.. Wondrius times!

There's another piece of HW arriving to the markets by the hand with ASUS [ http://t.co/ZFJVZAY5 ], for 69,99$:

Basically works the same as the Prime Sense device, BoS wise, and, IMHO, it's perfect for clickable cockpits now that they are not expected in the near future.  ^_^

Nice... If this takes off I would not be surprised if 1C777or some other sim devs tapped into it in a few years ..

Crossing fingers here.
