So techies are looking for more and more ways to get you into video games, what with motion controls at all, and a company named Oculus has taken a stab at VR headsets again:

Previous dakka thread, that has a very tech-related explanation:

They've launched a kickstarter campaign for developers, to get the SDK and dev kit out:

Tech demo of what it actually does, this is the one to watch.

And hey, if you want you can show it to your Grandma, and she starts trippin' balls.

So I don't know, video games don't have the appeal that traditional games, do, but they model kits and traditional games are dying out. But between the new 3D printing and this, it seems like a good time to be a gamer. Imagine playing Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning and being able to walk through the Warhammer world, and see the various sights, or play 40K and see the actual Cities of Death, or the inside of a Space Hulk fighting Genestealers, like the original Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels game. Or on an cobbled-together Ork spaceship, or on the decks of an Eldar craftworld, or on the surface of a beautiful Eldar maiden world.

Or imagine a modern-era game, where you combine this with Wii-like motion controls, and you're in a little house and you're moving model tanks and soldiers on a table, lol. You could even add voice chat, so you could kvetch at the other player about how the latest codex nerfed your army.

What would you make with this new technology?

Silly thing is that, aside from maybe a good helo flight sim or two, that would actually be what would get me to buy in to something like this ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/520902/5505469.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/520902/5505469.page GMT Oculus Rift - an amazing VR headset - what would YOU make?

Now don't get me wrong, i love the idea of VR and would jump at any chance to walk around a battlefield 40,000 years in the future. Just kinda figured this was more of a thread for the Off-topic forum.
I guess i'll leave this thread now so i don't annoy anyone else.


Good day to you all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/520902/5505747.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/520902/5505747.page GMT Oculus Rift - an amazing VR headset - what would YOU make?

You know you love me.

Quite.

Nor is there any justification for the name calling and insults. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/520902/5506022.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/520902/5506022.page GMT
