VIDEO GAMES - Virtual Reality Sphere

  • virtusphere


  • If I had a large amount of money socked away in offshore bank accounts, I'd empty them out just so I could buy one of these. Imagine fragging friends and getting exercise at the same time! Put the 3d virtual headset and climb inside this sphere, and it would be like walking on a treadmill, only you have a full 360 degrees of movement. The user wears a head-mounted display, which provides the virtual environment. Sensors under the sphere provide subject speed and direction to the computer running the simulation. Users can even interact with objects in virtual space using a special manipulator. sweet!
