Essential Reality and Lionhead Studios announced today that they’ve executed a letter of intent that will allow Essential Reality to incorporate their P5 controller into Black & White and Black & White: Creature Isle for PC platforms.
Using Essential Reality’s bend sensor and tracking technology, the P5 controller allows for full interaction with 3D worlds. The controller is fully USB compliant and, while the announcement stated compatibily with Windows 98, ME and 2002 operating systems, the P5 controller will also be compatible with Xbox, PlayStation 2, Windows XP, OSIX and Mac operating systems.
This could rock (not like the Nintendo power glove:hehe) now I think this could be awsome on the Xbox version of B&W and other cool Xbox games that are comming,,,I hope MS gets behind this,,,,,,the price is a little high right now. I hope that the one product will work on the PC and the consoles,,,like w/ a adaptor. Well what do you all think?

I've seen a demo of this product on TV. It sounds very promising.

Looks cool, and it only works for black and white and black and white creature isle? The first one is the most boring game i've ever played (and yes I beat it unfortunately). The second is just a pile of crap mini games ****.
