The ultimate in video gaming has arrived - but at more than £15,000 it comes in a bit dearer than a PS3 or Xbox.
The VirtuSphere is like an oversized hamster's exercise ball that immerses the user in a 3D virtual reality world.
Players don a motion-tracking headset to project the visuals and then they are ready to begin virtual exploration.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
On Amazon, you can't get an RTX 4090 for less than this one from Gigabyte, which now offers great value after an eye-catching April deal.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Gotta be honest. This look impressive as hell. But I dont think this is a technology we need this gen yet, maybe with next gen systems this will come in handy.
Huh how can you jump and stuff if you ain't actually doing it in real life?
Nice research concept. Probability of becoming part of a commercial gaming system: almost nil.
Why? You have to run\walk around in a ball while your eyes are shown VR images, so people will fall, hurt themselves and then sue. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a neat idea, just nothing more.
In my opinion they would need to be able to secure the user's waist to provide fixed support (with maybe some rotational leeway) and have the area under the feet move "like if it was inside a ball". One example would be a fixed partial sphere, user's waist secured in the middle with a post, and slippery shoes (or slippery shoe covers like those exercise sliders).
Cool ... I'll wait for the matrix though :)
They had the same idea I had years ago. I just thought this up with no real plans to take it anywhere. But to see someone else think it and actually make it physical, that's impressive. PS3 was 600 bucks when it launched, this thing is 15,000 bucks? Well.. when FFXXV is virtual, I'll pick this up on launch.
