Well give gaming and computers another 10 or so years and we'll all be battling each other in VR (but think headset for the first 2 decades, then holodeck later on). Then it comes down to how well we can get our bodies to respond like our little fingers can.

Operation Flashpoint had DMA's Unigen Rolling and LEaning Animation Pack, which could allow your soldier to roll when prone or lean in cough or standing.

Combine the Wii's motion sensing controller with TrackIR and 3D glasses for VR gaming 10 years from now. Although, I'm hoping for a holodeck sometime in my lifetime.

That'd be an interesting combination to experience!

Will we ever reach a time when gaming is indiscernible from reality?

If we do, that's when gladiatorial games will make a comeback. :P

Two strippers in my living room, arguing over who is the bigger slut, whenever I want is a pretty tempting buy.

I use my TrackIR for walker piloting when I'm feeling really lazy. The walker looks where I look.

Ah, it definitely would be useful for, um, simulations.

I keep forgetting to set that up. Tonight for sure.. I'm going to try it out!

Now we're talking.

It's not actually effective. It's just lazy.

What is that? Looks like that cage ball from American Gladiator.

It's a giant hamsterball on a platform and you wear a VR glasses. I saw it on TV once and the army guy inside was doing these evasive rolls in it. Looked preaty cool.

I just looked at that TrackIR thingy. Kinda neat...but for those of you who have it...a couple questions:

Does it work well?

What situations do you find it useful to use?

When would you NOT want to use it?

Do you ever get whiplash? (heheh)
