Reality Check - How Science Can Make VR Better

@Gencic: An interface that is perfect for you might not be perfect for someone else. There are people who think Mac OS X's GUI is much easier to navigate than Windows and vice versa. It's a matter of personal opinion. Using those 10 seconds of opinion as proof of her lack of ability to host a video game science show is just absurd. Don't think that ridiculing someone like this on the Internet isn't hurtful. They're people too.

@Gencic: I have a Masters degree in engineering and I still have trouble finding the different settings tabs in consoles.

I think she did a interesting show. Also nice to see more ladies in the wienerfest that is gaming/tech news.

@Gencic: All you need is a pleasant face who can read a script eloquently.

@mrcharrio: oculus is just 400$

@crusaderprophet:

I am sure there will be exercise games but some games will require little effort and lean more towards contextual actions like picking locks, opening doors, etc.

Imagine feeling immersed in a hostage scenario and having to disarm a bomb on a plane with your bare hands and no training. Or jump out of the plane and pull your own parachute? What if someone feints during the plane jump in the VR simulation lol. What about crafting materials in game. This will allow it to go from gathering recipes and pushing one button into perhaps having to learn the mechanics behind a special craft?

People do not realize how much they use/moves those little nubs throughout the everyday life.

@crusaderprophet: Amen sibling! (sibling as I'm not sure if you're a brother or a sister...).

Sorry, Cam, there is at least two votes for having Lucy take over for you for this video series.

Note to self, don't let young, pretty, competent women take over for me at work when I am on vacation.

@Dannystaples14: As brain controlled robotic prosthetics advance, eventually that technology to control virtual limbs with just your brain signals will make its way into VR. Without any motion sensors, the headsets will be able to read your body movements with just your mind.

Then...

Doctors are unlocking the mechanics behind sleep paralysis; the way your brain, every night, shuts off your motor functions while you sleep to stop you from acting out your dreams in real life. If you've ever woken up while your body is still this way, you still have kinesthetic sense in that you still feel like you're moving your body, but if you look you see that it actually isn't.

Put those two together and you can lie down with a mind reading VR headset that where you move your virtual body just as easily accurately as your physical body, but without your body having spasms every time you leap a tall building in VR.

@Psycold: Nope. << LINK REMOVED >>

Whoah, that would be rad!
