"Virtual reality"

Will gaming ever reach that classic stage where you the gamer simply put a visor on and aare put in a interactive gaming world where the movement of your limbs effect how you charachter moves it would basically put you in the game this would expand and expand and eventually gaming could advance no further.

No

Problem with the "move your limbs and your character moves" ideas are the following:
1: Tendancy to walk into things, unless of course you're in one of those big steel wheel type things like on lawnmower man.
2: Too energetic. fat lazy people don't actually want to have to move their arms when playing a boxing game
3: Wouldn't you feel like a pratt if someone was watching you?
4: Why not take the mask off again. This lets you enter the "reality simulator", unfamiliar to most gamers. If it helps, think of it as an incredibly detailed RPG. You can make it a shoot-em-up if you want, but it's really not a good idea..

Number 4 doesn't work in any case. I tried stealing a car for the local gangland mob and ran down a couple of hari krishnas and a copper, but got nicked. It cost me £400 in real money. So no good really.

The other time involved a banana bomb and an exploding sheep, but I won't go into that.
