Now everyone, calm down, this has nothing to do with the Virtual Boy. Far from it, in fact. Students
from Carnegie Mellon University have created a virtual reality program where you get to play as Mario himself.
The headset moves Mario's head, and thus your point of view. Wave your arms up and down to make yourself run, and
raise one hand to jump (just like Mario does in the Nintendo game). A very fun project, and a great way to spend
college money. No, really, I think this is a fun way to get kids motivated to learn.
I'm thankful that's not actually the Revolution concept, though - the headset would be too much of a drag to wear
during games. But then again, a virtual reality Smash Brothers…
