So, ever wanted to really move around in Virtual Reality?

Think of it as a giant High Tech Zorb ball.

Its not 100% finished development, so currently the software and simulations it is integrated with is low graphics,

but imagine when EA games or something pics it up and designs a game for this...

Two hours of DOOM3 on that machine and you'll have me killing anybody who is dumb enough to creep up behind me...or make scary "tss, tss" sounds in the dark.

i seen this thing on daily planet, wasn't it developed by Russians?
pretty cool seen some guy running around in some Japanese video game using it, but i think i remember hearing it cost $100,000+

isn't it just like a giant mouse? you know those old models that didn't use a laser. can't really think of any reason why it would cost all that much, the VR equepment should be alot more.

COD4 Team-Deathmatch would be better (:

they're going to make that thing for video-games too?or they will use it for other things?it would be cool make a mmorpg where u walk and make ur own moves...and with that it can be possible

Wouldn't be surprised if nintendo stole this and made a ball attachment for their Wii remote.

OMG IT WOULD BE AWESOME! it might be better if Crytek and Infinatyward go together and develop a game for this ball omg it MIGHT be better than sex

theres always someone who has to relate the thing back to sex...

anyways, looks cool, probably not worth it, and you probably wont be able to get it

Looks pretty cool. Not something that'd fit in my room though.

Reminds me of that ball where you stuff a hamster in so he can waddle all over the place.

or a cheap version without the high tech gadget

actually i saw this in china last summer, supposedly it allows u to "walk" on water... but in reality u'll be sitting and slipping and hitting ur ass on water more than walk.

PS: that's not me... just some poor guy whos gonna suffocate in 5 min xD
