GameTrak, a first impression

QuickWrite is an input method created by Ken Perlin so that \\\\\\\”you shouldn\\\\\\\’t ever need to pick up the pen (ie: no clicking, only gliding).\\\\\\\”
I really like this input method and think it might be useful for symbolic input in VWs.
So today I played in Virtools with the idea of using Natural Point\\\\\\\’s TrackIR as an input device. Of course any 3DOF (it needs only 2DOF) tracker would fit (the Wii-mote for example).
Here\\\\\\\’s a video (slightly higher quality (6.4mb) ) of my experiment. I\\\\\\\’m quite a beginner at this input method but it\\\\\\\’s really easy to learn and write fast.
The 3rd dimension could be used to switch the output characters (uppercase, numerical, punctuation etc).
