Sign me up. Although seems like a tall order to pull off well. *promote

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Wednesday, May 6th, 2015 11:47am PDT - promote requested by original submitter eric3579.

typical trailer full of marketing bullshit, most of that was pre rendered.. and badly at that. NOTHING was reactive or interactive, and if hey want any kind of multi user environment like a shooter ground or what ever that Role player crap was, you are going to need something a bit bigger then anything they showed in there.

There's nothing on display there that isn't easily achievable with current technology, but I'm guessing they're still a ways out from actually opening.

My friends and I came up with the same idea a while ago after playing with a rift, but we never did anything about it. Kudos to these guys for trying something.

My friend actually filed a patent for this exact system back in 2004, right down to the OLED visors: http://goo.gl/LfDDos

However, the cost of retaining a lawyer and the patent office's recurring fees and drawn out review process bled him dry. Just as he was getting close to finally registering it he fell on hard times and had to put the process on hold. As a result, his patent went into the public domain after 18 months. He was heartbroken and still is, especially now that this video is being shared everywhere.

As much as I love this idea and want to see it become a reality, I can't help but feel like this company got at least some of the details they needed from my friend's patent. It pisses me off that our copyright system screws over small inventors and gives those with plenty of money a free pool of research and hard work.

I expected this to be what google glasses would be about eventually. They might have been fun if they could produce a virtual reality over reality in any situation.

This will never happen for the same reason you don't see Roller Rinks anymore.

Lawsuits

No roller rinks? There are a good 2 if no 3 or so within a 30 minute drive, and I live far out in the country where I can't even get pizza delivery because we're too far from anything. This is basically Laser Tag with VR goggles and was bound to happen sooner or later given how well Oculus and other VR outfits are working, or at least appear to be working. I'd guess the props are all lightweight foam to prevent injury. The motion tracking is the question, and I got to doubt it works as well as shown. We are still far from say the VR of Ready Player One or more advanced stuff yet though...

Baby steps towards Holo Deck 3...
