VR (Virtual reality) - Blu-ray Forum

quexos · 11-27-2008, 09:45 AM

I was wondering with the advanced graphics and all that, isn't it time for Games to be played with VR helmets ? something in the lines of movies such as The Lawnmower man ?
With VR gloves that spot where your hands actually are in the 3D space and create them inside the VR environment of the game. Man I would love one of those and it is technically possible so why not ?
I know it has been technically possible for many years but it was too expensive back then plus graphics back then were not what they are now.
In conclusion I demand VR helmets and gloves for VR games this gen or the next gen at the latest !!!

Since it did not go 2 well in the past i imagine they stil think it is 2 expensive and people dont care or want it.
However im all about VR if they bring it back, how does 4k glasses with some real powerfull pc\ps3`s sound.

BTW: just saw lawnmower man 1 and 2 again. Warning stay away from #2!!!!!

Well I was hoping that since the technology has been around for so many years that it would be cheap by now to mass produce. Anyways the technology may not be new but the real full VR Gaming applications with advanced graphics definitely are, that's why I was thinking it could be the right time to finally do it.

this seems completely marketable to me. i can't believe we don't see this more these days.

I would think so too. It would be the closest thing to being wetwired like in the matrix. Man wouldn't games be fun, wouldn't survival horror games be scary ?
Wouldn't sex games be ... hehe

I'm sure it'll never come to fruition, but this is interesting nonetheless
