Oculus Rift and future VR support in Planetside2

[Toppopia]

(This sounds good for RPG games or FPS games. Maybe RTS games)

We wear gloves, boots, and a helmet, and the game picks up what we do, so in the case of RPG game, we swing our arm and it does sword attacks, pretend to pull a bow back and it shoots a bow, magic could be you do special hand patterns and wave your arms around like a lunatic. FPS games, the gloves dictate where the gun is positioned, the position of the head, arms and feet tell how your body is positioned, and work from there. RTS you can make a box with your hands to select units. Then drag that across the screen and point at a location or enemies to attack etc.

I could see that being the future of gaming. So hurry up Virtual Technology developers. Make my dreams come true already.

At this point I'd just be happy with native Track IR support; all the glitzy toys can come later.

I sorta don't think I'll be installing a neural shunt anytime real soon. Don't think my medical covers that.

I'd bet a transparent LCD like that could be on the market in a 5 years, however...


Regarding those with corrective eyewear, some reassuring word here about possible adjustment:

So i wonder how far away my dream is.

thats AR not VR.
