If they had those in gyms, id be there all the time. If they could integrate a lightgun too, it would just be too good. Then playing online against other gyms, in gym clan matches, aww yea.

"The future of serious gaming belongs to true athletes who have a bit of technical savvy to boot!"

-I already am an athlete, biotch! Quick reflexes and incredible thumb stregnth from years of gaming. Also, my brain gets to /flex a lot with strat RPGs.

Seriously though, that's a bit insulting. I play games BECAUSE I don't want to play sports or exercise for entertainment. Guess some people need it, I personally don't care for it at all.

Although, if you implemented this for World of Warcraft, you'd have a MUCH thinner and aerobically fit America.

The people already in shape will do it, so its no use. Because we all know the more "horizontally challenged" will never do it.

Dood, I fell off the treadmill trying to change the song on my iPod. Now you want me to concentrate on a video game and actually play it? There is no way I'd be able to do that. I'd kill myself.

Oh don't be so sure. I know alot of people who play Gameboys while walking. Sure, it's not the smartest thing, if you're doing it in a place like New York or other ungodly crowded places, but I think you get the idea.

I used to have my treadmill set up so I could play games while exercising. It worked especially well with RPGs that didn't require all that much coordination while leveling up. I had to give this up when I had to move to a much smaller place. Nowadays I have to keep the treadmill out in the garage and read or listen to audiobooks to pass the time. I really miss be able to combine my exercise and game playing.

There is a symposium that will be held in March '06 that features innovative 3D input devices for video games and virtual reality.

I attended the one 2 years back ...It was pretty cool. You get to see some technologies that may hit the market in a couple of years.
Its held along with the VR conference in Virginia
