While these folks may look funny, I think augmented Reality is a very exciting area. Think of the military training, and gaming possibilities. It's one step closer to the holodeck.
Thought Doom was scary? Imagine playing Doom, but the monsters are in your house, and in your neighborhood.
What about Co-op? It could be set up so you can look however you want to your team. Sure, you may be a 90 lb. ugly geek, but your game character could look like an 8 foot Predator alien.
Think of the military too. It's a cheap way to teach the soldiers. A Virtual America's Army game? What about virtual tracers rounds?
And like every new technology, think of the pr0n possibilities!
Is it just me, or did anybody else feel cheated by Hobbes (If I remember his name correctly). I really liked the character during Wing Commander II, and in WC III when he turned - I never saw it coming. I was shocked and angry!
I loved the Wing Commander series. I played WC2 on my "super fast" 386. Trying to get DOS games like that (and WC3) to work helped teach me enough about computers to help me get a job in IT straight out of highschool.:-)
10 years later. I remember my flight mates fondly. Paladin, Maniac, Iceman, Angel, and even Hobbes -- Cheers to you!
there used to be a website somewhere out there where you could pay a fee up front and have your "last words" sent to your loved ones after you were gone
