They should make a portable console that you can take anywhere!!! Oh wait they made the psp already...darn it..

Special gloves and shoes that contain radio transmitters. Receivers placed around the room that can accurately triangulate the position of the transmitters, so it can track your fingertips and feet position in 3D space. Also, glasses that can track eye movements.

The technology already exists and is fairly cheap, particularly for the transmitters.

However, I wouldn't even consider this an innovation, since the idea of weird new control schemes has already been done. If someone makes a new control scheme, they'll say the same thing about it just being more of the same as the Wii, like they say the PS3 and the 360 just improve the graphics.

Besides, if I actually had a good enough idea, I sure wouldn't be talking about it in public!

Why are you so against this?  It's like you're thinking up all the possible problems it could have just because you don't like the idea.

I already said in a previous post that you can sit down on the couch and play games with a visor.  You don't have to be up walking around and bumping into things, that's retarded.  People have been playing video games on a couch since the Atari 2600, I don't see why this has to be any different.  Even with a Wii Remote-like controller, you don't have to make exaggerated movements to play the game.  If you do want to do something like bowling, it's easy enough, you clear a space in front of the couch, put the visor on, and bowl.

As far as the multiplayer aspect goes, sure, goggles for everyone gets expensive.  But that doesn't seem to stop people from playing multiplayer DS games, where everyone has to own their own DS.  It doesn't stop people from playing online multiplayer games, where everone has to own their own 360 and connect it to Xbox Live.  If you want to play at a friend's house, bring your goggles over.  That's what my friends and I do with our Wii Remotes, since none of us have more than two of them.

As someone else said, stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities.  The Wii has many limitations compared to other current-gen consoles, and look how well it's doing!

Wow! A Nunchuk Heart Monitor. That is really a clever and smart idea. Who thought of that first? Somebody needs to forward this entire forum to Nintendo...

Virtual Console Two.
Its a console that is purely virtual, you pay $299 and get to sit at home imagining playing the awesome games on it ($60 each).

if we are going to use a visor to similate a real environment and then sit down, would that itself make it less virtual, it may work for a racing game, where you would be seated, but then in that case you still need a wheel and pedals to complete the set up, somethiing thats just too expensive.

Also, bowling with a wii reemote is one thing, blowling with a visor is another, even in wii sports you often wait for other players to move, for dogs and cats to get out the way or for your stupid girlfriend to move her big toe so she doesnt get it smashed by the wii remote (even if it is hilarious). with a visor all those things become a problem.
Theres also the social interaction, half the fun of wii sports or warioware is seeing the other people playing the game, or their reactions to when you are playing, and ofcourse the victor shouts and taunts. I wouldnt swap that for a visor in a million years.

You cant just engineer an LCD that doesnt damage your eyes either, focussing on anything at such a close range will damage your eyesight, theres no ifs or buts here, you just cant have that concept in a domestic device. For immersion of this style, we are going to need matix head jacks or something!

Like i said before too, imersive games just arnt a good idea, games are already under attack for being too realisitec and affecting peoples lives, there are already a number of murders that are connected with certain individuals playing certain games. Now these people may already be killers and the video game pushed them over the edge or whatever spin they wish to put on it, but with truely imersive games that would worsen these issues 100 fold.

Along the same lines, how many of us are genuinly scared when playing resident evil? I am and it makes the game better, no doubt, but along with that sense of fear is the sense that you can press pause and it stops, theres the safety that its just an image on your screen, even tho it still scares you. There maybe the odd person that is happy to take that to the next level, but im very sure that there are alot of people that not only dont want to, that it would cause mental problems too.

I honestly cant see videogames ever leaving the screen/interface method set up, atleast not in a domestic environent.

I would like to see binaural audio as a hardware feature. I find it a lot more immersive than surround sound. I'm just not sure if binaural audio can be generated on the fly in a video game. Since headphones are required to appreciate binaural audio why not pack in a pair. (wireless of course)

Now add a few IR leds and a simple camera (perhaps built into the console with the option to remove it if necessary) and your console is now head tracking.

I have no idea, I'm no visionary.

Probably just Super High Def (like 2000p or more) and 1:1 super responsive motion controls.
