"The Future Of Virtual Reality"

I have a very good feeling that very soon there will be a soar in VR gaming. There's only so much you can do on a 2D screen. We're all use to seeing the graphics when it first started, looking all boxy and terrible. Well that was 6 or more years ago, and I am sure that it'll look much more impressive now.

I think shooting games will hit it off best, especially if they combined VR with lazer tag and had them all running around this empty building. So when you move around you're actually moving, when you enter a room, you're actually entering a room. It would be so realistic I doubt many will be able to handle it. Especially with games like Aliens where they leap out in front of you and the first thing that comes to mind is to leg it as fast as possible in the other direction.

Whatever turns up I think everyone will be glad to have a break from looking at a small 2D screen.

But for home consoles you'd need a lot of space in your living room for that, you'd be looking at maybe 10-15 years tops before that sort of technology was available. It would be good though, wouldn't it?

I reckon peripherals will be the first to benefit from VR technology, we already have the IntelliMouse from Microsoft which is a kind of VR spinoff, but the 'DataGlove' idea (point your finger where you want the cursor to go and don't pick your nose whilst playing Quake) is going to be the next big thing.

FantasyMeister says so, so it shall be.

Due to me becoming a Dad in December i am having to sell some RS:X Gear.
