First Impressions Inside the Project Holodeck VR Game World
Hesh writes "The space-pirates themed Project Holodeck game is a VR game that is initially targeted for the Oculus Rift and will marry VR with a world so interactive and immersive that it feels like you can reach out and touch it. Ben Lang over at RoadToVR recently got a chance to sit down with the team and try it out. He came out extremely impressed with how immersive the experience was: '...at one point I needed to set the Razer Hydra controllers down to adjust my helmet and I nearly tried to set them down on a virtual table next to me. There was no table in real life — had I not quickly realized what I was about to do, I would have dropped the controllers straight onto the floor below.'"
Their server seems to be having trouble.
As long as there is no mention of space marines they should do fine.
i can't wait to get an occulus rift and hook it up to unity3d, from what i hear the API is already somewhat in place.
Brainstorm, the movie. How far did they come from the lab to the demo.

Women who don't manipulate men might stop being so damned rare once men can get all the sex they want from a realistic holodeck.
that is absolutely pathetic.
Thank you

If all you want from a woman is sex, you'd be better off paying a professional - then you get what you want without all of the "manipulation" you seem to be experiencing. If you feel you're being manipulated, you're with the wrong woman. There's nothing wrong with compromise or give-and-take in a relationship, but why put up with manipulation?
This comment made sense until I noticed the "don't."

Yes that's mighty chivalrous and PC of you but don't kid yourself. Women terminate more than 80% of all marriages and serious relationships that end. Women hold most of the power in most of the relationships because most relationships sadly do have a power-struggle component instead of a partnership model.
A realistic holographic sex partner would change that for many men because many women weaponize sex, parceling it out like a reward. A realistic AI to go with that would even more drastically alter the outcome of such a power struggle. Women would have to offer something that cannot be replicated, like real caring and real love.
There is such a woman in my life thankyouverymuch and she is not a manipulator at all. Not one bit. But I had a series of two-faced bitches prior and I find my experience there is not uncommon. That's all. Sorry if telling the truth bothers you or something and makes you feel the need to state obvious shit that isn't what I was talking about, like the need for give-and-take. That is a common strategy - something makes you uncomfortable so you find a way to trivialize it, implying that I was talking about something so easily avoided. Amazing the mental gymnastics people will do to avoid admitting when something gets under their skin.
It is said that if you have a series of relationships that all have similar problems, either you are the problem or you are seeking out partners with whom you are similarly incompatible. Given your dickish response I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here.

I believe it's closer to 66%, but if your theory is true, I don't understand why woman who wield so much power over men are so happy to leave the marriage, yet men who are apparently the men who are suffering this emotional abuse from women are so willing to remain in the marriage.

So even in your ideal world with realistic holographic sex, women will still have something to withhold from men? Won't these manipulative woman still wield their power over men by withholding real love and real caring from them?

You make the claim that women use sex as a weapon against men to manipulate them and all it would take would be an artificial replacement for the sex, then women would lose their power and everyone (well, at least the men) would be happier, yet you claim that *I* am the one trivializing the issue?
The article is slashdotted, but there's only 19 comments, and only one of them is a hater. Fascinating. Could it be that VR might actually make it this time? Really and truly? How does it go? “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” Looks like Gandhi was right.
But will it work for somebody with only one eye?
This needs to be banned before the pedophiles get a hold of it.
Women who don't manipulate men aren't rare, they just do that with pansies who let themselves be manipulated.
Don't complain about syntax, grammar, or spelling. There is no.hell like input on android.
Women enjoy having bitches for a while but they still prefer and need real men. Just don't be a bitch.

I think he'll be surprised when he discovers that men withholding sex from women doesn't quite work the same way.
Only if you are bad at sex...
"withholding" and "real love" don't go together well.
I don't understand why woman who wield so much power over men are so happy to leave the marriage, yet men who are apparently the men who are suffering this emotional abuse from women are so willing to remain in the marriage.
Because they're afraid of being single. That was easy. Let's see if the next one is so easy.

People get away with abuse due to opportunity. I find it easier to find real love without real sex, though I too am in a loving relationship.

There are many issues, and this is only one of them. We can talk about what it will take for men to stop beating women next, but that will be an even lumpier conversation.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"

So you're saying that all women are manipulators? That sounds more than a little sexist to me.

People have a tendency to manipulate others they don't respect.

Humans test boundaries. It isn't malicious, at least in the beginning. If you don't maintain your boundaries people lose respect for you. Doesn't matter the sex. How we test boundaries generally does divide by gender.

won't chemical castration work more effectively?
