Grope. Coming in 2012

Does anyone else think Nintendo could be prepping for full Virtual Reality gaming with this system? They are already streaming video, it has accelerometers, gyros, magnetometers (plenty of sensors to determine position, movement and direction) and also have stated the possibility of 3D gaming on the Wii U (also necessary for a stereoscopic VR headset). So everything is now in place for complete VR gaming.

For under $5k you can have a motion chair and 3 large LCDs easily. Here is an example, and I believe his setup was around $5-6k

And here is the DIY forum for building them

Or you can buy the motion chair for $2k

This thing is WAY overpriced. You can get yourself a 2DOF motion setup for under $2,000 that will work with several racing and flying sims on the pc.

or you can go the DIY route.

Either way a motion setup will cost you around $2,000 for the motion chair itself. I just discovered this DIY community about 2 months ago and it's pretty freaking amazing what they do. SimXperience is also as cheap or cheaper than building it yourself. I was going to build one myself but found it cheaper to just get one from them

This looks great! For people in the design and advertisement business.....

Ok I guess embedding doesn't work. Here is a link to the vid of Tenori-On being played live.

It is the 3rd video down

Apparently can't embed videos. Here is a link to the video of Tenori-On being played live. It is the 3rd video down

I have one of the original ones and I love it. Here is a vid of me using on live. Song was made with Tenori-on and Kaoss Pad 3

I have a 3D DLP and a PC with NVIDIA's 3DVision hooked up to it. Video goes through HDMI just fine and Im assuming a video passthrough like an AV receiver wont make any difference. The PS3 WILL need another piece of hardware, that being the IR transmitter for the 3D glasses. This is unless the television has one built in. 3D DLPs have a port on them for 3D IR emitters. This allows them to sync the refresh rate of the glasses with the televisions refresh rate. I don't know how Sony will get past this without extra hardware. I really don't think it's possible

5-7 years for 3D games? Are you kidding? NVIDIA has 3D Vision running on PCs right now. Games don't have to be specially coded for this to work. If they are specially coded it can make the 3D effect even better but it is not required. Once again, ANY game that uses 3D graphics can be used with the 3D Vision setup. The PS3 just happens to have an NVIDIA made graphics chip in it.... There will be 3D televisions and blu-rays hitting the market THIS Summer, and from what I've read 3D enhanced games will be as well, including Gran Turismo 5.

Once again, games DO NOT have to be specifically coded for use with 3D glasses and 3D televisions like movies have to be. The depth information is already in there with games. I'm guessing most if not all games on the PS3 will work in 3D from the beginning.

Now the downside. If a game isn't optmized for 3D sometimes the 3D effect is not all that great. But for the most part I think people will be surprised how great it will be. 3D Vision runs great on PCs, I'm guessing they will look great as well on the PS3
