Check this out! Virtual reality in a bubble type thing so you can move around. Imagine the number of threads saying "WoW ruins peoples lives" that will be posted if these things became reality! :rolleyes:

Computer graphics are going to be looking very real in the next few years, but a mouse and keyboard is restrictive. I'm not sure how good this is but VR will happen some time soon.

Wheres the jump button?

Good enough idea, but as so many of them b4, it wont work out.

I like the idea of having a headset that can overlay images onto the real world while keeping things perfectly in place with everything, fps games would work well, I don't see why this has not been done already?

rofl love the screenie of it in the back of a lada

Looks ok, apart from the fact that it's just tying into existing games. What you really need are games with an independent idea of viewing and shooting.

What's the point of doing all the running turning if you then have to shoot/aim with your head? That's just silly.

I was thinking more a case of your sprinting then stop, the sphere's momentum would keep it moving surely even if just for a seconds, long enough for you to lose your balance completely.
