Elite Pilot Takes Cockpit Design to the Next Level (December 15, 2014)

[ChrisReid]

Elite Dangerous is set for release this Tuesday, December 16, and Tyrranus spotted the video of an awesome way to play! The pilot below has three 3D projector screens arranged to form an immersive digital cockpit. He's also got a super slick custom touchpad setup, voice controls, top notch HOTAS controls and more. CNET has more info about his setup here. It gives everyone a good idea of what they'd need to get for a new Wing Commander game, right?

The setup also includes a custom touch interface dashboard, comprising three Treckstor Ventos 10.1 SurfTabs, running on Roccat Power-Grid software; voice commands available using VoiceAttack software; head tracking and gesture control using TrackIR and Leap Motion respectively; a Saitek X52 Pro HOTAS joystick and Logitech G19 keyboard; a Crossfire2x Sapphire RADEON R9 290 Tri -X OC video card with AMD Eyefinity, resolution 5,760x1,080; and sound via a Logitech Z-5500 5.1 surround system.

Fantastic setup, really like what he did with Roccat Power-Grid and the Android tablet to add to immersion, the touch interface is beautiful. I think Oculus Rift will be more in my price range tho
