I think VR should live up to its name and be Virtual Reality. As it stands now it's just a 360 Degree 3D TV with Cameras I'm probably just too into sci-fi... it should be like living inside another world except with different rules depending on the games. No restrictions or limitations except game world rules.
Inventions come from ideas, ideas come from imagination, and imagination paves way for ingenuity and innovation. As long as we imagine, anything is possible. just give it time and technology will surpass my expectations.
Almost nothing is impossible in this world, sometimes you just got to change your view of things to solve the problems being dealt with. All in due time.
Exactly. And I don't see the kind of virtual reality you (and everybody, of course) want happening not even in this century.
I saw a documentary at the end of the 80's about virtual reality. Graphics were extremely simple, the headset huge (two mini CRT's). Being already a gamer in those days I was blown away by the idea of replacing the input from the real world with the output from a computer. I didn't perceived it as a question of recreating a highly realistic alternate reality, but just to be immersed in a synthetic enviroment.
With that concept of VR in my mind since so early, I've never expected it to make me feel like I'm in a completely believable alternate reality, not even any kind of reality. I saw those basic graphics and how the thing was called Virtual Reality, and to me the term end up being just tag to refer that technology, not a description. "Virtual" doesn't even mean the same in my native language.
The DK2 was beyond my expectations. What people is saying about the CV1 is just awesome, can't wait to experience it for myself. "The Matrix" kind of VR is just science fiction so and I'm not waiting for it.

It may be impossible now because nobody thinks it can happen, but one day a team will come up with it in the future. The only limitation is the one we set up ourselves. It's those that do the impossible and make it possible while others keep thinking it cant happen. So yes, in the meantime i will keep on dreaming.
