I cant get over the fact that this looks like one of those baby chairs that they can bounce around in.

what really sucks with skyrim is that it has no native VR support, so your weapon is sort of attached to your vision and it's really wonky

There are mods that forces the third person model on to first person that might solve that
The running looks hilarious, like some sort of old man shuffle

Nah, fallout 3 and NV drive me a bit nuts in that I want to hike while playing them. It must feel pretty cool
[QUOTE=Medevila;43739129]All of the treadmill devices seem so ungainly, and more a novelty than a peripheral I can picture in people's living rooms
Really not a technology I see catching on[/QUOTE]
as a new technology a lot of people will either hop on it as some sort of gimmick, or just not have the foresight to understand shit like this will be too awkward and unwieldly for most people to care about
Not to mention a lot of people don't have the space for it in their homes.
This tech would be cool if it allowed you to naturally move such as sprinting. The immersion would be pretty fucking cool if that was so, except I don't see a treadmill being responsive enough to change direction as quick as a person could on normal ground. If only someone came up with a new technology for treadmills, or a completely different responsive surface all together, that would be cool as fuck.
The tread mill thing would make Philip's "Running across (A wide variety of games)" videos interesting.
For those who don't know what the duck I'm talking about, a guy named Philip runs across the entire maps of various games including Arma (And I think Skyrim.)
I want to see Morrowind with VR support.

with his legs
Fuck the official olympics game if it ever supports this
[QUOTE=Orkel;43745484]with his legs[/QUOTE]
would the treadmill be able to handle that kind of force

There is no treadmill.

Plot twist
I gotta say the not-treadmill would be awesome. Cardio AND gaming! Like I've mentioned in other threads with such tech, a few months on ArmA and you'd be able to run endlessly
and then you slip and fall and all that expensive tech gear is crushed!

That's what the thing around his waist is for.

What about under the weight of your typical neckbeard?
If this catches on, I see a lot of expensive electronics ruined from sweat
I want to do this so badly but that's still $1000 in interface hardware alone. :(

How would that even happen???
I really hate those slippery harness things are being called 'omni-directional [I]treadmills[/I]'.
I'd really like to see something like this, where you can actually walk around naturally:

This VR-walker (lets use this term now) lets you crouch. Instantly better than omni.
Omni's bowl-tilt would be annoying as well.
I would try this, but I would not buy it
Can't wait to play this with nude mods, busty chicks mods and sex mod.
