Full-Dive Technology Idea

I have been reading this "idea" in so many forums from people that have just whatched Sword Art Online that its becoming annoying, specially because of the fact that all of them says it like its his own idea or something, like if everybody of us VR enthusiast have never thought of that. By the way you speak i assume you are low aged, only thing i can say you is that no scientist is gonna read it and say "oh god, why didnt i thought of that, i would make it asap"./quote]

For the record i thought about VR waaaaaaaaay before i watched anyway anime/show with it in it. I was using Sword Art Online as a reference cos it seemed like the easiest one to use so dont get your panties in a knot. and im not low aged. what kind of a child is 21.

For the rest of you those are good responses. But how about something like that prosthetic arm hooked up to the nerves. Maybe we could do something lie that but do it in our necks(surgery...)

But VR could be good for many purposes and some bad. Like if there was a fire how would you know? there should be an emergency log out button irl. But it's good for the crippled people and teaching purposes i guess

Okay time to lay down some biology and stuff:
This thing with an EEG to sensor brainwaves may be possible somewhere in the future but the problem is how to send your movement data that your moving your arm without actually moving... The problem is that there is no known way to paralyze the body without using drugs(or blunt force trauma to the back of the neck :P ).
And if this hurdle somehow was succeded we will get to problem nr. 2.
If we lie immovable for long times while playing it could cause muscle degeneration and a declining health.

This with implants that would stimulate nerves etc. would cause a foreign body reaction which would cause the implants to be covered in a fibrous capsule and inhibit their contact to nerves(interestingly in the game Deus Ex:Human Revolution you play as the first person who is genetically adapted to no foreign body reaction and thus can have implants).

It's much easier to diss an idea than to figure it out.
I am more hopeful for something in the lines of Ready Player One when it comes to input devices.

There is a way to hinder your muscles to move .
Its called muscle relaxants. These substances prevent your muscles from moving because they inhibit signal transmission between your neuromuscular junctions and muscle fibers.
Medicines use it for clinical operations. They are effective for half an hour but the effect can be prolonged by injecting every half an hour more of the 'stuff'. :lol:
But i think if we one day could get peripheral neurophotonic nerve implants in every major peripheral nerve then they should also be able to shut down signals coming from your brain.

By the way, one nervus opticus contains roughly 1 million axons(nerve end,prolongation). A peripheral nerve thousands.
