I don't think that Polhemus press release is related to this project. Apparently Sega were looking into using their "Star-Trak" motion capture technology in 1996. I don't know if it was actually used though.
Net Merc is a 1995 game and doesn't utilise motion capture - it uses motion tracking. -Black Squirrel (talk) 17:14, 24 August 2019 (EDT)
