the tech is great

 

but i hate the 360 avatars

 

they should make more  lifelike avatar and detailed ones

Think in game applications for this kind of tech.  Imagine the Medusa fight from Clash of the Titans where you have to take her out without looking directly at her.  Or having to do an undercover mission that requires you to keep a straight face as you hear about atrocities performed.  Those are just two things that popped up in my non-game developer mind after seeing this.  What do you think Kojima has cooking?

the possibilities are endless

 

your medusa idea won't work as we will still have to contrate on screen

a 360 degree screen would be need for that

You're right, the possibilities are many (wouldn't say endless personally due to the obvious limitations) and the simple, immediate application of the tech that we see here are just the tip of the iceberg.

I was thinking more where you have to face her without looking at her face/into her eyes.
