New Xbox 360 and DS peripherals announced

Performance Designed Products announced at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco today two new peripherals its been working on. One for the Xbox 360, the other for the Nintendo DS.

Gametrak Freedom for the Xbox 360

The Gametrak Freedom for the Xbox 360 is very similar to Nintendo’s Wiimote yet still stays true to the 360′s look. The D pad is still there as are the 4 coloured buttons we all know so well. It does however come with ultrasonic 3D motion sensing. Basically the device talks to a base unit connected to your Xbox 360 through its USB port. This means you do not have to point the Gametrak Freedom at a sensor bar or even at the screen for commands to be recognized! Too cool!

On the DS side, Performance Designed Products unveiled SmartStylus, a stylus with vibration feedback. It’s capable of controlling the portable gaming console without touching it! Too bad this one is only in the prototype stage.
