As another VRAC employee I have to say that yeah, for most things it's going to be overkill, but immersive environments are better for certain tasks. You probably don't want to build a C6 web browser but it's something that does have a use.
They've had treadmills that can do the same thing thise does for years. How are they going to simulate walking up stairs? Or for that matter anything that's not a spherical surface.
This looks too expensive to have any kind of practical real world use.
That's why we have digital video. With an XL2, you can get something close to film look. 28 Days Later was shot using an older generation of the same camera.
Yeah if you buy a film camera you're looking at spending a small fortune, but then you probably wouldn't care about using an opensource video editing program.
I'm also considering the same thing. I just kind of lost the interest I had in programming, but I still love technology and still want a meaningful career in the area. The more I looked into it, the more I think that IP law is where I want to be. I think a lot of people would be a lot happier if they thought of this as a viable option if you have a engineering or science degree.
I just got accepted to Santa Clara Law school and plan on doing IP stuff because of my Cpr E BS.
It's a good option if you don't want to program for a living, but still love to be around the technology.

I don't the VR lab I'm working at is too sad to see them go. We finally just dumped our last SGI machines now.

But do they want to eat your brains!? That is the real test of a zombie dog. Also if the only way to kill them is by a shot to the head.
I hope this means I will soon be able to get Final Cut Pro without buying a seperate computer for it.
