I think someone has been watching a bit too much SAO.

No chance this is gonna work. It would have to be technology that is confortable to the eyes and an impressive imersive piece of software to make it work. Still, you would probably still play with your controller right? So what is this besides a glorified screen in your face?

Hmmm kinda... Have you seen any of the Oculus Rift videos?  What is SAO?

Personally I think this could be pretty cool with OR + Playstation Move.  


Sword Art Online. Do you know the .hack series? Its pretty much the same premise of virtual reality and beeing stuck in an online MMORPG ubanle to get out.

I checked the website and it seemed to be what i was saying. 2 small screens on your face controlled with a gamepad.

lol, where have you been for the last year? Oculus rift has received universal praise from every media outlet thats used it. The concept has been tested and it works, and you dont need hugely specialised software either. Any FPS or Racing game will be an easy candidate. Killzone 4, GT7.

The problem with oculus is that its too expensive and its also bulky and ugly. But if sony are looking at a 2014 reveal, you can garuntee that it wont be in stores till 2015. By then a $150 headset, packaged with a game may be feasible and if it gets reviews as good as oculos you can garuntee that it will off word of mouth.


If specialists say jumping in a well is a really cool move would you do it?At the end of the day, its what the consumer perceives and not what specialists say.

But both of you feel free to tell me how this is different and revolutionary. I just dont see how without some different type of interface. Heck the idea with move is better than the gamepad itself.
