UM-Bot Posted September 29, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2005 VirtuSphere provides a mechnical basis for truly immersive virtual reality environments, permitting the user to move about in virtual space by simply walking. The device consists of a large hollow sphere which is mounted on a specially designed platform that allows the sphere to rotate freely as the user walks in any direction. (Note that the open hatch in the picture above is closed during use.) The user wears a head-mounted display, which provides the virtual environment.

AztecInca Posted September 30, 2005 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2005 ^Not at your local gaming store anytime sure and even if you could its pricetag would be unbelievably expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baku Posted September 30, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) Yeah that gaming idea is a nice thouch but I think some people will get manipulated by this machine. And they are done playing, they will thinks they are still in a gaming world and maybe even hurt other people by this. You guys remember that kid that played GTA and afterwards killed 3 people? Or those German kids that started shooting on school after playing Counter-Strike and killed 6 people? Dont you guys think this will be even more powerful then the average PC games, PS2, XBOX?

Nadal Posted September 30, 2005 #8 Share Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) Not really. It's not the video games fault that anyone did anything, it's the parents for allowing them to have the game. Also, how do they know their violence came from these games? Just trying to blame something other then themselves?

Nirwana Posted October 1, 2005 #10 Share Posted October 1, 2005 It looks very limited to me.. I think the best virtual reality would be trough our brains pretty much like in the matrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizno Posted October 2, 2005 #11 Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) It looks very limited to me.. I think the best virtual reality would be trough our brains pretty much like in the matrix. Oh, BABY! Me commanding the bridge of a starship, beating the cr*p out of a Gorn, Laying waste to entire fleets of nasty enemies......... I'M READY! I agree completely. The next phase of our evolution will be to bond our wet brains directly to computer interfaces. Imagine the power if we don't have the delay of our clumsy hands pawing at keyboards or grabbing for mice! Think it - DONE! I'M READY!

"Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves Of all these demons haunting us To keep us company Won't it be odd to be happy like we Always thought we're supposed to feel But never seem to be Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs My hands were tied and the phone was bugged Another died and the world just shrugged it off` ~~Barenaked Ladies-War On Drugs-Everything To Everyone~~" I'm listening to Wagner while typing. Please forgive my whimsy. Lohengrin is gripping me. Let's go back to virtual-reality spheres now..... Edited October 2, 2005 by blizno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
