Forums - Gaming - Is a 3-D VR helmet peripheral a realistic possibility end of next gen?

It feels like we have been waiting forever for this next step, and it seems like a natural evolution from motion sensing technology that has moved to the forefront with the Wii. The main problem as I understood it, was the bulkiness of the helmet in previous iterations. We're now in an age where everything is small and light-weight. How could this not be the next logical step? I'm sure there would need to be more processing power to handle the 3-D, but I don't think that would be a problem.

I hope not, I hated the VR headsets back in the day. I think the biggest concern is radiation near the brain. If they coudl develop a simple band that used reflection instead of a transmitter/receiver, like a simple light reflection that requires no computer/digital pieces to emit radiation, and was no thicker/heavier than a headband, it might be feasible.

Obviously, I hope we would move beyond said bulkiness.



I had such high hopes for this thing back in the day. Too bad it turned into dogshit!!

A true gaming company such as Nintendo needs to give it the push it needs.

exactly Nintendo has the capability to give the real stron push and then ms and sony can follow along maybe with higher graphical power while nintendo gives it the real push with legendary games just like it did with wii

nintendo gave motion control the push and now ms and sony follow along with more sphosticated motion controller

It really seems that some companies that were at the forefront of VR were all on the edge of going out of business while they were developing their products. Real funding seems to be necessary to get it right.

Obviously a defunct attempt at VR. Most of the companies that tried were small, and are now out of business.
