2005

Overview of Design: Matrix Gateway leads you into an exciting and entire new world by the VR technology.Unlike the usual computer,there is no keyboard and mouse.It uses a motion capture system instead ,so the virtual input system will liberate your body from the desk.Combine with the eyeglasses-style monitor ,you can use the computer everywhere freely.Also,with special software and service,you will find the gateway to Matrix,and do just as Neo(film Matrix) did.

User and Context: Who needs mobility-use computer in bed,on the road.,when shopping,having a travel,changing posture again and again,etc. Who playes virtual game or 3D movie: first role game, single or network,push you into the virtual world.Who needs guide when goes to a new place:with the MSN Local Search and local guide systerm.

Scenarios of Use: Matrix Gateway use virtual input system instead of traditional keyboard or mouse.it is small enough for mobility.The motion capture system (MG-D) looks like a watch(but a little bigger ),and MG-E is a ring style to be worn around index finger works as a mouse.They communicate by the wireless technology such as bluetooth ,Wi-Fi.And what you see is only the world in the eyeglasses,you won't see the desk,the plastic shell of monitor,even your body.So,you will get the best experience from the game or movie.Of course,the most exciting thing is to play a virtual game with Matrix Gateway.For example,an exploration game like Tomb Raider .The only thing you need to prepare is to find a bit larger ground ,and use pieces of MG-C (usaully 4 are enough) to orientate the map.The range which these MG-C surround is your exploration field .Then load the game and begin to act as a buffoon.

User Interface: The motion capture system (MG-D) works as a keyboard,and MG-E as a mouse,It can be taken to anywhere according its mall size.Also your fingers do the same work as the traditional way .The difference is that your fingers hit the air not keyboard.MG-D captures the action of your fingers and translates it to the data signal .And there will be a keyboard picture(programe indeed) on screen guiding you.When need a mouse,use your thumb the hold the key on MG-E which is around your index finger .usually,MG-D is around your left hand's wrist,and MG-E,your right hand's index finger.

Technical Aspects: motion capture(and other),VR technology.Computer brings a new world to people,But what actually only we've got is mainly from the screen, sitting in the chair before the keyboard with tired body.Sometimes it seems that we are slaves of screen.We need freedom.
