Basic, but cool: VR goggles receive wireless feed of plane-mounted camera. Man moves head, camera on plane moves to change the view. Effect: it's like you're really up there swooping around like a bird. And yet, not good enough...
We hereby request the following enhancements to satisfy the gamer in all of us:
- wing-mounted EMP cannon
- heads-up display with targeting system that tracks opponents in vicinity, to enable more intense dogfights
- worldwide, realtime leaderboards to track win-loss record of air combatants
- donuts and beer for the winners
Just a sneak peek down one branch of the future of gaming. Suit up, Iceman, and watch your 4 o'clock for MIGs.
