Augmented Reality Quake

DrGonzo writes "Take a tour of campus an shoot some monsters. The Wearable Computer Lab at the University of South Australia has developed a prototype wearable Quake suit. " I'm a little skeptical of this, but it sure would make the frisbee golfers on campus look like the normal ones.

      come to think of it - geeks would probably be better off if they offered their dates the use of augmented reality goggles...

      Um yah.. as a member of the fairer sex (yes that'd be women *shock*), i'd have to say.. anyone coming at me wearing one of those things doesn't stand much of a chance of getting a date, much less getting me to wear it.

      Stick to flowers. your success rate will greatly improve.

    Hey, watch it about the Disc Golfers!

    Hey at least we can get "Augmented Reality" for about five or ten bucks... depending how much the mushrooms are going.

    This seems to be paying a lot to do the same thing :)

    CmdrTaco certainly does have a knack for attacking all the masive power blocks in our society. When will he stop his suicidal habit of making powerful enemies, such as Microsoft, Scientology and the all powerful Frisbee Golfers, with their hordes of vicious lawyers? If the Frisbee Golfers don't get this article eaten before 5 PM, I will be surprised.
