Nintendo’s Wii has already become one of the best selling consoles of all time due to its innovative control system. Microsoft wants to have something close to the wiimote for their Xbox360 consoles and PS3 tried to implement similar features in the 6axes controller. But aren’t we forgetting something? How about our trusty PC?

Good news for us PC-only owners! Cam-Trax Technologies one came up with a special software solution that could transform PCs into viable console alternatives. Cam-Trax supplies a unique patented software solution that can track any object in real-time with high reliability and precision, using any simple webcam. This provides users with a new and exciting way to interact with PCs. Apparently, you can transform regularly shaped graspable object into a controller, providing some hilarious moments when playing simple games such as pong or solitaire. You can even play FPS games like Unreal Tournament just by using two fingers, as shown in this demo clip:

The Cam-Trax website is not that info-filled for the moment and we expect some more details as soon as possible. Cam-Trax has some huge potential here, so it would be interesting to see just how far the technology is able to go.
