The motions themselves are still going to be larger lags than button presses.


Motion control is just in it's infancy.  It's not about reaction time.  It's about "control".  As in controller.  

Using a light saber in a game for example with a controller is pretty lame. Press a botton.  WOW!  Sure I can press it really fast, but more or less I have no "control" over it.  Mostly it's up to the computer how and where it moves.  That's not fun.


With motion control there is no need for speed exactly as long as the system can follow my movements as fast as I move my light saber movements.  Now I have "control".  Now I am immersed.  


One technology doesn't have to replace another.  There doesn't have to be motion control vs button wars.  I still play systems that have 1 or 2 button controllers.  That doesn't mean I go around yelling, 24 buttons is means less immersions, because your brain takes more time to think were each button is! That 12x's less immersive!

Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.

So, the act of using a quick flick to throw a bowling ball will seem more like throwing a bowling ball than....
..actually throwing a bowling ball, because of the large motion of actually throwing a bowling ball????  :confused::confused::confused:

Yeah, and watching a 30 second ending of a porn flick is more like real sex then having sex with an actual woman because you don't have the lag of actually talking to her and buying her dinner?

I think some people spend too much time inside.  I'll take the actual woman please!
