Point Blank Simulator needs a Windows based PC to work. PBS does not currently work on an Apple Mac, even using a virtual machine such as Parallels. We are hoping in the future that there will be an OS X version for Mac users.
There are some minimum specs you need to have on your PC to run PBS. We will also give you our recommended specs.

Motion Capture
Point Blank Simulator has the option on some courses of fire, to use a Microsoft Kinect V2. The Kinect is designed to be used on an Xbox One so has the connection plug for this. If you want to use motion capture on PBS, you will need to convert from the Xbox plug, to USB2.0.
These converters can be purchased from places such as eBay – “Kinect 2.0 to usb converter”.
Please be aware that most of the Kinect converters we have seen, come with a two pin US / Euro plug and not a UK 230v three pin power plug, please order a plug converter if needed, to save you not being able to use it after waiting for it to be delivered.
