MotionWare: bewegingssimulatie via je evenwichtsorganen

boer Krelis brengt ons op VM3.com, waar ze bezig zijn met een nieuw systeem om het gamen NOG verslavender te maken. Maar vinden wij dat erg? Nee joh! Dit schrijft Meneer Krelis:

"WAAAAH COOL kan ik eindelijk een flightsim/racespel doen zonder met m'n kop te zwaaien (dat doe ik altijd zeggen anderen, zelf merk ik het niet)hoop alleen dat het niet zo heel erg pijn doet als je jezelf in de grond boort"

MotionWare represents a paradigm shift in the art of virtual reality. Instead of relying on optical illusions, moving the screen image to give you the visual impression of movement, our system uses a scaled-down version of widely-used medical technology to create the sensation of actual movement by stimulating the neurological system. Just put on the headset, and you feel every movement as if you were there! Move from stereo to the virtual reality equivalent of surround sound for less than $100. MotionWare uses galvanic stimulation of the vestibular system--that is, electronic stimulation that influences the user's sense of balance. This technology has been used safely for years in various medical fields, but Virtual Motion were the first to propose coordinating the technology with a visual scene within a virtual reality environment. But we're not just a high-tech think tank--we actually designed and made lightweight, low-cost and cool-looking equipment anyone can use to experience virtual reality at its best.
