Virtual Reality With Unreal Tournament

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-kinda-anyway dept.

thegrommit writes: "It seems someone has been hacking the UT OpenGL driver to produce a relatively cheap VR environment. " It's really just another Cave thing, but it's still something to lust after. Imagine using a treadmill instead of pushing the up arrow. If only I was attached to my general pear-like shape.

    All of those FPS addicts would finally get a decent workout (not just their wrists) if they had to use a treadmill. Nice concept!

    ...would you like coleslaw with that?

      Heh...and all those Tomb Raider addicts would get to see what it really takes to jump twice your body height while carrying a shotgun, two Uzis, a priceless and magic gold artifact, and two cantaloupes in your shirt. Does the word "oof" come to mind? :)

      But what does my opinion matter, I just vote here. It's not like I have any money or anything.

      Good one - very funny. I mean, where would she put canteloupes with those enormous breasts?

      I've never played Tomb Raider, but I'm not so sure I'd be all that thrilled about seeing cantaloupes with breasts...

    This isn't going to be particularly interesting until somebody figures out how to stick themselves into a game of Leisure Suit Larry...

    erm Physical objects ie., WALLS. :)

    Gotta hurt :)

    How about making it into a Hampster ball that u can run or walk in with the image superimposed on the walls of the ball.

    Fun without the fear of running into walls :)

    So, not to be a smart-ass, but...

    "a visor that projects a 3d world exactly the same as your physical arena".

    If it's exactly the same as your physical arena, what are you gaining? And how do you know when it's broken?

  6. hey guys, by cosmo7 · · Score: 4, Funny

    haven't these people ever watched sci-fi movies? obviously, anyone who gets killed in a virtual reality game will be killed in real life. messing around with this stuff is suicide.

  7. Another idea... by neema · · Score: 4, Funny

    Keep the treadmill moving fast, so if someone decides to stand still to spawn camp, they get thrown to the floor.

  8. Inexpensive Cave UT by InferiorFloater · · Score: 3, Funny

    "or, if you want a dirt cheap Cave setup, simply get 3 PCs, two LCD projectors, and an empty white corner"

    Come on, man! What kind of UT fanatic has these kind of resources? I mean, a blank corner?

    My low budget suggestion? Take your laptop to a real cave, play UT, and have your buddy throw a rock at your head every time you get fragged.
