Talk:Dennou Senki Net Merc

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)

Here's some details... Star-Trak... --Asagoth (talk) 18:47, 24 August 2019 (EDT)

Edit: Found this old article about Polhemus... but adds nothing new to the subject since is an article from 1997... it states the same... that Sega Enterprises Ltd. was "the first customer of Polhemus' latest motion capture system, Star-Trak" ... --Asagoth (talk) 20:07, 24 August 2019 (EDT)

Stephen Northcott [masutra.com/blogs/AlistairDoulin/20100113/86383/Where_Is_Virtual_Reality.php shared] some stories on gamasutra.com in 2010 about his time at Virtuality and when he worked with Sega (in the comments)... when Sega requested his help, Virtuality was already using Polhemus devices in their pods... Sega was probably influenced by them in their decision to use Polhemus products...--Asagoth (talk) 20:56, 24 August 2019 (EDT)
