[QUOTE="chinzman93, post: 272332, member: 3047"] I suspect Stern has a hand in this: 1) Farsight cab support seemed to be progressing nicely. The video of the Virtuapin that was posted at one of the shows plus I recall a post from Farsight indicating they solved the keyhole effect in the engine would seem to confirm that. Then it suddenly stopped. Probably when they struck a deal with Arcooda. 2) Ravarcade had a working version of head tracking with DX9 that seems similar to the Kinect solution used with Arcooda. If a community member could get this working, I can only imagine what Farsight could do. 3) I believe Bobby indicated in the interview that he thought an announcement would come sometime after the license expired. 4) Arcooda has said that Stern does not wish to be part of the Arcooda product. My guess is when Stern was approached about this and saw how far (good) things had gotten said "No F&#KING way!" and reached out to Scientific Gaming to get a deal to buy the WMS pinball property contingent on killing the Farsight license. But I am also trying to connect Gary Stern to JFK and Roswell so take that with a grain of salt.... ;) [/QUOTE]
