The ultimate in video gaming has arrived - but at more than £15,000 it comes in a bit dearer than a PS3 or Xbox.
Virtusphere's ultimate gaming experience /Rex
The VirtuSphere is like an oversized hamster's exercise ball that immerses the user in a 3D virtual reality world.
Players don a motion-tracking headset to project the visuals and then they are ready to begin virtual exploration.
They can run, jump, roll, or crawl over virtually unlimited distances without encountering real world obstacles.
The large hollow sphere sits on rollers allowing it to rotate through 360 degrees and move freely in any direction - without actually going anywhere at all.
The Washington-based manufacturers describe it as the ultimate computer games peripheral, but say it could also be used as a unique exercise treadmill or for simulation exercises.
Systems are made to client specifications, with customers so far including military and law enforcement organisations, as well as entertainment companies.
VirtuSphere has already been used by the Russian Tourism Authorities to let people walk through the Red Square and the Kremlin.

RE: Ultimate gaming experience
a firnd of mine works for Plymouth University. last year they gutted an old planetarium they had that they never used. inside they installed some kind of 360 degree 3d projector. it can show 20 minute films at a resoultion of something like 200 dpi. (the video doesn't really have dimensions because it's projected over 360 degrees) their most sickening flim is one from a spinning camera mounted on top of a car driving through a city. ech 20 minute video with surround sound takes up over 1TB of hdd space. i want a go in that!
also, sorry about making this page so wide with post #3. only just realised!

That would be sweet. If I want 10 or 15 years, it might only be 500$. :P
