Interfacing
The WalkMouse can be integrated into virtually any application. Full positional head tracking can be gained through a simple UDP interface. Alternatively a joystick driver enables the operating system to view the WalkMouse as a DirectInput joystick.
Applications
WalkMouse is suitable wherever it can be beneficial or desirable to use natural walking instead of using keyboard, mouse or joystick as a mean to move in a game or visualization software.
