sweet, a real life minority report :O

I agree. That stuff gets me so excited and proud to be a gamer. I think games have been stuck in a rut of trying to develop better graphics for such a long time that they haven't really developed anything cool for a while. I really liked the idea of making characters fight and interact on your furniture. Awesome!

 

[MiccyNarc]

THAT is awesome. Simply incredible! I can't wait for that technology to be available.

(It'll be fun flipping people off in multiplayer games )

I want a full body suit and something that can detect everything in my house and make it a fighting arena. I'll be jumping all over the place breaking things while fighting a computer dude. When someone else watches it looks like I'm fighting an imaginary person.

Yes the near future is VERY bright for us gamers! :cheers:

If this would happen, videogamers would be the healthiest people in the world because they would be getting a great workout everytime they played. Instead of sitting on a couch for 5 hours, they could be jumping around their garage or even a whole gymnasium. People would be building special rooms just for a game like that.

You know how awesome that would be! I giant rectangle room made just for like a fighting game or a shooting game. You run around it using objects as cover and stuff or if you're fighting jumping all over things. Though you could get hurt it'd still be fun as hell. I'd rather run around a giant room kicking some computer guy's ass all day than sitting here on a computer. Plus you get to use your own fighting technique. As for multiplayer, two people just beating the crud out of each other? Sounds fun!

Well it'll certainly be good excersise, and put to rest all the whining the fat people do in CS thinking their so great (imagine the counter terrorists wheezing lol)

But.... LAN parties are gonna end up looking like line dancing troupes.. think about it

 

[AmishSlayer]

That's badass. Sounds like it could be really expensive now. Hopefully as the technology becomes more efficient (so good games can actually use the technology and function properly ) and mainstream prices will be at a decent level.

I dunno how five people punching and kicking each other would look like a dance troop .

Now that is some awesome stuff. Its amazing how, if someone invested enough money into it, they could acually have their own "holo-deck" or w/e that thing from star trek is. Think about it, they would put on 3d goggles and headfone and have a big room filled with sensors. Obsticles could be placed in the room and their general size and shape could be mimmicked into the game. For example, a chair could be some kind of rock of similar size and shape. It would acually be like being in the game. The Army would probably buy heavily into it because it would allow them to simulate acual combat situations with real obsticles in it. I give it maybe...10-15 years till this stuff is mainstream. The future's gunna be a fun place, so im glad im only 14

Off topic...but I didn't really think this deserved its own thread.

1 TB discs

When these are perfected...no more cd swapping...ever.

Thats cool until you remember Microsoft will be sure to fill it up with some version of Windows and file sizes will just get larger and larger for the most simple of things. (I'm laughing about it now but I bet it happens) lol

 

[TinyKilbasa]

The whole minority report idea behind the technology is amazing, I personally would love to start seing stuff other than video games turn to this direction...

They just have to get those flat paper-thin monitors to work ooo yea!

My guess is two types of PC game nerds will exist when VR is popularized, "athelete" VR "warriors" who play VR and are in tip-top shape because it's there #1 hoppy, and regular old fashioned "pc" mouse and keyboard gamers who remain fat and lazy (us right now )
