Why isn't it in the "mainstream"? I could add "as of yet" to the end of my question but I have already thought out some answers.. or at least one big one: It would take over the world as we know it. Or would it... mwoo ha haaaa. I just think the concept of VR has been around wayyyy too long for it to be either somehow restricted by the Gov't. or just not mass produced at all. Anyways.. I think the movie The Lawnmower Man answered that question for me as well, even thought it *was* a little over the top. The questions and thoughts I can think of are: 1. Why is it just being used mostly for Military training (I think)... software is too expensive to write / sell? Not to mention REAL hardware. Which spawns the next question. 2. With the tech of today, where are the REAL VR Head Units (Not these "OOH WOW A 52-inch Monitor appears six feet in front of me" contraptions)? 3. Yes, there would be a ton of people puking and convulting (sp) left and right because of the motion sickness, at least with the head units. Well, go figure. 4. Personally, I would rather be in one of those mockup cockpits or similar while being under the influence of said VR. Just as long as it's some high-tech-state-of-the-art wraparound 180 degree display. Oh yeah.. and a killer sound system and controls. 5. That movie Strange Days. There's another form. Much more dangerous though, and again.. a little over the top. 6. That episode of Star Trek Next Gen where they get stoned from messin' around too much with that VR Game (funny if you ask me). 7. Some might just make it their own reality, eventually. C'mon tell me I have some good views here... talk amongst yourselves. Hell, make it a debate if you like. |

maybe no-ones come up with a convincing VR experience using vision alone..........untill they come up with full-body tactile feed-back, it's just an x-box strapped to your head........ |

Man, I haven't logged into this message board for a while, but I just have to say that "untill they come up with full-body tactile feed-back, it's just an x-box strapped to your head........" is funny. :O |

Yeah, I forgot one other famous movie scene with VR while thinking of that "tactile feedback"... The interactive sex scene in Timecop where the dude's doin his PC @ work. That's funny too. So there's another addition to mah list: MAKING ELECTRONIC BABIES!!!! I'd bet they look like the kids in the Come to Daddy video. Whaddya think? |
