Why would I analyze such things as how to pilot a gundam? Killing time, plus i like gundams smile-big
I know G00 avoids many explanation with GN particles, but this one cannot be avoided that way (hopefully).
I also am aware of the fact that such discussion solves nothing, but it's a nice way to kill time while G00 is not aired
OK, now onto the discussion:
Let's gather some evidence that will hopefully lead to some conclusions:
1. When Setsuna saw Drei for 1st time he reached his hand towards it, and so did Exia
2. Gundams aren't sitting all the time and you don't see Gundams playing with invisible joysticks
3. When meister wants to see side monitor he can, without making Gundam turn his head
OK I'm going to go technical on this, because I HAVE thought about this long and hard.....
OK for things like the hand movements and leg movements would have to be controlled by a macro system internal to the computer.
For things like the head movement it would have to be something like the helmet of the gunner of an Apache. where he looks the gun points, this is tech we have now.
Now for more in-depth, now while we never see the joysticks in a lot of detail I would guess the joysticks would have at least 3~5 buttons on them.
Of course there would be a button under the thumb that would control firing of the gun. other than that the other buttons would select what weapon system to use. For each weapon system a different macros would be loaded into the control system.
For things like swords, well this would be a little harder. This would take some advance macros and control systems. that I really haven't thought that much about.
With this i conclude that piloting isn't about the joysticks and buttons only as Setsuna reached his hand, and so did Exia. Also point 2 proves that it's not just motion capture, therefore it must be something different. My guess is that Gundams are controlled by meisters' minds, at least to some extent.
I know some of you are thinking that Gundams aren't THAT advanced. Why? In RL such technologies are being developed. It's not like it's reading all your thoughts, just the basic things like wanting to move your arm. Gundams are advanced in every aspect compared to the rest of the world and in the anime it's the 24th century.
Anyways post your own ideas on how Gundams are/could be pilotted.
