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. :)

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 :)

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.
