I will always suck at RTS games until someone figures out a way not only for me to play them psychically, but invents a drug that will cause extra brain hemispheres to spore, mycelium-like, within my largely fluid filled skull. Who the hell can control a million units in unison? What the crap do I look like, RTS designers? Cylon Briareus?
Edward Tse's table top interface device probably won't make me suck any less, but it sure is a step in the right direction. Edward leads us through the device's potential in Google Earth and Warcraft 3. Oddly enough, Warcraft 3's demonstration is less impressive than Google Earth's... probably due to lack of API or source code. Still, if anyone could ever design an RTS for such a doohickey, this might lift the bar enough for me to shatter my knees limboing under the bar of abject RTS mediocrity.
