Xbox 360 IR controller mod for FPS crosshairs - Image 1Cyberpyrot of AcidMods has come up with yet another modification to the Xbox 360 that is sure to awe all fans. This particular one involves the tracking head motion for the crosshairs of FPS video game titles.

In a nut shell, this mod allows users to control the crosshair using IR. According to cyberpyrot, this was made possible with the use of optics to create high and low resistance. What he used in particular are two quantities of TSL262R-LF.

The modder added that this particular mod is quite and easy to create. Any one who is interested in the project is welcome to try, provided that you know exactly what you are doing of course.

The picture on the right is the exact diagram for the wiring done in this mode. The video below, finally, is to show that it actually works.

then that's a nifty little mod. Looks like he's still working on getting the x-axis to work. I guess techies who do this mod might get a lil' increase of accuracy over a pad provided if it will be smooth.

» nice try but...

FPS usually turn but your crosshair still in the middle.. so you turn your head like 45 degrees... the center of the crosshair is now 45 degree away from you.. you have to roll your eyes side way to see the screen. Someone knife you from the back.. you're gonna break your neck ;) I know it's a joke.. you can always change the porportion but I dont' think it works well.. All I am asking for is a mouse that works. XFPS is ok sometimes.. I ain't gonna pay more for the XIM
