@z64dan - I'm glad you're trying to get it to work. I'd like to see VR possible myself, but the ideas you raise have flaws. You're talking about quickly shifting from looking at the game to looking at reality, I'm talking about being aware of reality WHILE you're playing the game. People already have been smacking each other with the wiimote, and that is WITHOUT anything restricting their vision. You see an enemy about to attack and you strike out at it in the game, only to find you just smacked your friend or knocked over a lamp back in reality.
You're saying that hearing will let you keep from bumping into them? Have you ever been blindfolded for a pinata game? How many times have you seen people walk in range and get nailed? And that's just blindfolded, when you're concentration is totally on hearing. Could you imagine how much worse it would be if you were distracted by the in game visuals that completely prohibit you from seeing reality?
I could ALMOST see something possible with a wiifit style balance board to use as your movement medium, BUT there's still the issue with being able to use it while you're sitting down, and being able to use it even in a smaller cluttered room.
If I'm being a little hard on this, I apologize, but when there's an idea that has problems, by identifying and addressing these problems, you make a huge leap towards that idea becoming a reality.
