Haven't you ever wanted to take up a sword and shield and battle Orcs alongside Aragorn? Haven't you ever wanted to defeat a Sith army with a lightsaber? Or maybe you've always wanted to play football with your heroes?
Me too.... but how long do we have to wait before this becomes available?
So does anyone know how far our technology has advanced? How are we progressing in developing virtual reality? How long before a virtual reality console will be up for grabs at your local gaming store?
We've already touched the surface. For example, I saw a tennis game on tv once where you put on a headset to see the court. You hold a racket, which is plugged into the console, and swing it about at will. It's not very advanced, though, as you can only move left and right - not forwards and backwards. Plus, it's still in beta testing. AFAIK there are other virtual reality games being developed but nothing spectacular.
