i've been in the virtusphere a couple of times (at the university of washington). trust me, it's not ready for prime time. the inertia aspects have already been discussed. my guess is that the earlier commenter didn't try it with the v.r. helmet, which gave me the worst case of eyestrain i've ever had. on top of that, there was still some degree of lag, so between the foreign sense of intertia and the delayed visual response, it's still more novelty than actually amusing. it's incredibly clever, but there's a lot of work to be done before people don't vomit or at least leave with a blinding headache.

i'm a bit of a luddite and refuse to get a cell, annoying my friends, but i like the irony of possibly winning one.
