Virtual Reality With Unreal Tournament

Imagine using a treadmill instead of pushing the up arrow. If only I was attached to my general pear-like shape.

  1. Cool, but not enough. by zarathustra93 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hmmmm, However cool I think this is, it just doesn't seem to me that VR will really realize its' potential until we can wire the system directly to the brain.

    I know, I can already hear a whole bunch of Neuromancer groans, but some goggles and a treadmill really doesn't cut it.

    Full on, full imersion reality will happen sooner or later. Anyone researching holodeck tech? :-)

    While on the train this morning (:P) I realized that a REALLY great game for this sort of application would be Black & White - all the interaction is already done via a single "hand" and gestures anyway. Other 3-D, RTS games like Populous or Sacrifice would work, too, but they rely more on keyboard shortcuts.
