New game Idea for VR.
I just read a topic of cubytes (giving him credits for that) and it gave me a new game Idea. A VR new "combat style" or RPG style a naruto like game, where you have to learn and reproduce a "sign...
What a great game idea! This could be used used in many other Genres including; Fitness,i.e., Yoga Music, "Garage Band VR" anyone? Talk about an Air Guitar, how about Air Drums too? Every Martial Arts involve precise motion and precise tracking too.
Precision gesture control, tracking and tactile feedback will always be critical to immersion. Every game Avatar's hand, finger and arm motion and tactile feedback requirement could benefit from this type of precision.
The precision required to track your arms, hand and fingers is available now! Forget Kinect, take a look at the MYO wearable gesture control device from Thalmic Labs of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
Thalmic Labs' MYO is a very strong solution to many VR gesture control challenges, including the precision gesturing needing during; VRsurgery, VRmachinery operation, VRflight simulation. Just imagine flying the Lunar Lander with only VR hand gestures and the Oculus Rift!! Just reach out and touch the buttons virtually! What a mind blowing possibility! I want it, I want it all and I want it now!

I just read at RoadtoVR that Thalmic 's Myo is shipping, and at only about $150.00, very affordable. I hope its $150.00 a pair!
Gesture Control with Tactile Feedback is my holy grail. I believe that smarter people than me are already working on exceptional solutions. I continue to think that Tactile feedback is the real challenge. I still want my brain to feel the button, lever or wheel that I'm touching.
I still can't wait for for the future to get here... Never mind it just arrived :- )
