Title: Ladies and Gentlemen, We are getting closer to a revolution
Post by: Kokkaku Kishu on 30-12-2012
O.K. so, for those of you that don't know, there is a Virtual Reality gaming headset that is being made for the consumer, known as the "Oculus Rift". I see this as a huge step for engineering, and also for gaming.

This is also already working with games that have been released as of late, i.e. "Doom 3: BFG Edition"

It seems that a new age may be upon us earlier than we thought. hopefully, (and this will be a REALLY weeaboo statement, and I appologize as a recovering ex-Otaku) we will have VRMMOs like in "Sword Art Online" in sooner times than we expected! :D

So far what we have is ocular projection and head tracking. Not much, but still a lot. Imagine hackers coupling it with the connect once it becomes available. It'll be shitty for a while but because of that it'll become majorly advanced by people all trying to improve it.

It's gonna be the next Novint Falcon.

Fancy game tech that goes dead quickly.



Though, their next tech seems kinda cool. The Novint Xio, some sort of arm controller

I have known about this for some time now. It's very interesting and will probably by a gap filler techonology, as in someone sees it, looks at it and makes a better version.
