"HOLODECKS...surely the ultimate future"

Well i doubt i will see one in my lifetime but i hope maybe my kids do ??
What could match a holodeck ? Create your own world and explore, get shot and u don't die. You can even eat the food in a holodeck (although i'm not sure how much of a substantial meal it would make)
How long untill they come, or at least some sort of GOOD fully 360 degree VR type thing.
A bit like the matrix really, except u don't have a big metal rod in your head.
THE FUTURE OF GAMING IS HOLODECKS !!

Let me guess, youre a Star Trek fan, arent you! It could be the matrix also I suppose, but I think that people wouldnt want the be a dream world all the time, even though they would not need to do a day of work in their lives? If you want escape, I suppose its a good idea, but youre right, its probably a long way off, maybe your kids, kids kids kids maight see it.

Not a trek fan...but i think holodecks would be COOL.
DO WHATEVER U WANT !! How can it be matched ?

Well I personally wouldnt want to play with a load of holograms that werent real.. what id do was have a real body suit of a role that i wanted to play, and I moulded the skin onto myself and went into a set or something and assumed the role of that person, in whatever the character was based on, whether it be Lara Croft or whatever! Probably a bit wierd that idea. Maybe your ideas better perrin.

maybe...anyone else got ideas on this ?

could do... there not normally a lot of people on here at this time- try again at 7.

ok :)

I come on now cause theres lots of people NOT on, so I can read all the comments then write stuff, then come back later to see what they have said.

I was talking about Wookies once to a friend. Someone, who had been listening to our conversation, asked if that was in Star Trek. Pitying the fool, I reminded him that it was in Star Wars, and Chewbacca is a Wookie. The boy then said, they are both the same anyway.
There was an inquiry to find out how the chair leg got shoved up so far, inseemingly impossible. But thankfully, my friends, also fans of Star Wars, kept quiet though their smirking grins.
I think the problem with VR, (just keeping my mind sane...) is that you have to move and walk around. Imagine how good you would be at fighting games if you could just think of moves. Your reactions would be amazing, and it would be so cool to play.
I'm not suggesting we all sit on our butts and hardly move, but the thought of being able to swim like a dolphin, jump like Mario, or shoot like Solid Snake, is just too amazing too pass by. I know its too far into the future, but just imagine...

Oops. Inseemingly impossible - Double negative. D'oh!
