Full page ad in PC Pilot - Johnny Five, he's alive... or rather, TrackIR 5 is alive... yet I don't see anything here on the public site?

Looking good, can't wait for the details etc.

Do I win a prize for being the first here..? ;)

im just hoping it has support for more than games, like google earth would be great, or sketchup, or 3d apps, that would be a great extension to a mouse or a space navigator.

Yep also saw the ad in PCPilot when I got it yesterday.
Looks good but I am left wondering if it was a photoshop edit or should we be expecting to see a wireless Johnny???

Great news, I wonder what has been improved.
TrackIR4 is already close to perfect !

I am afraid you will still have a cord, but it is a nice one. :)

The launch is May 1st.

:)) some facts:

3 times the resolution of TrackIR 4
Larger field of view
New image processing design for more accurate, smoother tracking
Improved sunlight filtering
Detachable base to improve durability
Completely new software with more options, and a much more user friendly interface (software will work with TrackIR 3 with Vector, TrackIR 4, and TrackIR 5)
