abstract:XIO is a packet-based, high-performance computer bus employed by the SGI Origin 2000, Octane, Altix, Fuel and Tezro machines. The XIO forms a bus between high-performance system devices and the memory controller.
Looking like a robotic exoskeleton that wraps around your hand and forearm, XIO can be used to control a variety of games, from boxing titles to airplane shooters.
Joutras also says Forcetek is developing the same technology used in XIO for applications in the U.S. Army, working with the Future Force Integration department to develop training exercise applications.
