VirtuSphere - Totally Immersive VR

Filed under: tech news, misc geekery — leadingzero

VirtuSphere is a new Virtual Reality technology that allows a user to truly ‘walk’ in 3D computer generated terrain. All you do is climb into the rig, but on the VR goggles and start walking. The movement of the sphere is then measured and translated into movement in the virtual world. This technology looks amazing for future computer gaming applications as well as military training exercises and virtual tourism.

With the creation of the VirtuSphere™, Virtual Reality technology has developed sufficiently to permit users to leave behind the keyboard or mouse and immerse in this exciting new medium. The VirtuSphere is currently the only technology in the world, which permits the user to move about in virtual space through the most natural movement of all – by walking.

  1. It looks good, still miles off usage for the home, although it does look a little Unresponsive at times in the video, im sure a few tweaks, and making it more responsive, and playing Unreal Tournament or such would be a lot of fun :D

  2. Yes! I can’t wait to see the new arcades of the future!

    Comment by chemicaltwin — May 5, 2006 @

  3. Yes the play definately looked gimpy at best. As much as I like to see VR advancements, this looks to be a tech. for the Military and the Arcades only.

    Can you imagine having one of those in your living room? The cost has got to be enourmous as well.

  4. Man this looks amazing , imagine playing a game with the ps3 graphics in this plus usere movements , imagine battlefield2 on this thing

    arcades are gonna get coller again

    Comment by Joel — May 5, 2006 @

  5. yeah, hopefully this will get used in some arcades soon and there will once again be a purpose for paying per play. DDR can only last so long and when its done, arcades are in trouble.

  6. this shit is so stupid. what happens if you fall during a gun fight.

    Comment by Mike Crazy — May 5, 2006 @

  7. This guy here is right… if u fall down in the middle of the fight?
    And running on this ball looks like a shit… you start kicking all inside……

    Comment by Eduardo — May 5, 2006 @

  8. This isn’t new by a long shot. They demoed a similar system on the BBC’s Tomorrow’s world except that version didn’t need the headset, the image was simply projected on the sphere. This sort of game gets tiring really fast and it suffers from the usual problem of lack of feedback.

  9. This is like 4 yrs old…NASA first used it to train their astronauts. i guess now they’re implementing it into games now….

    Comment by Qualbay — May 5, 2006 @

  10. wow, i really want to see this in games, but,only 1 questionl, is easy to stand up when u fall, because is a ball on wheels right?

    Comment by Daluria — May 6, 2006 @

  11. You guys,

    This is awsome. Looks better than a cave, and the engineering is interesting.
    NASA doesn´t have this equipment. And the advance of this technology can be implemented very soon.

    Wait and see.

  12. Hmmmm,this looks pretty cool.I dont know bout the falling down thing though.

  13. Well, I like the idea of a rotating sphere however ; what about the idea of an all direction treadmill?

    Comment by Mike Crazy — May 5, 2006 @ ”

    the same thing that happens if you fall during a real gunfight… except virtually.

    Comment by Xylem — May 30, 2006 @

  15. and how can we jump or crouch? I think this sphere won’t know if we crouch… so there are a lot of work to do with this.

    Comment by Zottyo — July 8, 2006 @

  16. Cost wise think about it

    Big Clear plastic Sphere $150

    Wheel sensors $300

    Vr Helmet $250

    Jumping and ducking sensor $200 (placed outside of sphere

    Vr Gun 50$ (optional)

    All of this is…

    950!!

    Might as well throw in $50 tax!

  17. If you fall, (they could add some motors there and have) it trip you up lol.

  20. Whoever posted the cost blog is way off. However saying they are impractical for home use is right on since these spheres retail for $50,000-100,000 dependingon the software they ship with…..ouch that puts it out of reach for me….I’d rather buy a house!

  22. i must say i am Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better. I see that the pirate theme is back!
    While I was in Disney World, I got a chance to ride the new revamped Pirates of the Carribean (sp?). It was really cool how they worked Captain Jack Sparrow into the ride. They even had a guy dressed up as him outside the ride giving tips on how to be a pirate. The kids seem to love that character!

    THEN YOU JUST GET THE FUCK BACK UP YOU PUSSIES!!! why do u fucking nerds think you know everything? and why is it that when ever something new comes out that you didn’t think of just so happens to be a piece of shit to you? why don’t you just shut the fuck up and get a life. and i don’t mean sitting on your fat asses all day long playing World of Warcraft trying to get your wizard up to the next level so you can finally get your group of other pussies together to go defeat the dragon atop of Mount Getafuckinglife

  28. After what seems like forever (but is really only 4 days) my v7ndotcom elursrebmem entry finally ranks, coming in somewhere between 25 and 30 depending on what ranking tool and data center you happen to be using (SERP). However now that every SEO on the planet has a blog I thought I might cruise around the blogosphere and see how blogs are being used in the contest. http://www.bigpenispill.net

  30. I cannot completely commit to Camp 1 as I do think there are times, and situations, where users have to take responsibility for their own choices. For example, if someone choses to remain on dialup when higher speed connections are available, and within their reach, I do not think I should be obliged to design with their free choice in mind. If they choose to stay with an older browser rather than upgrade, why should I have to take that into account? To do so would constrain design and possibly compromise the experience of others for no good reason. http://www.gordoniihoodia.net/penis-enlargment.html

  32. People just don’t like to write comments, they like to read posts therefore there is no need to fake posts. Take ProBlogger for an example sometimes he is left with 20 comments a day sometimes he is left with 200 comments a day even tho he is getting 25K-30K visitors . http://www.averagepenisenlargement.com

Be sure that your website is constructed well, with good meta tags, keyword density and relevant content. It’s well worth all the effort! http://www.penisenlargementc.com

  34. My main concern is that you can’t guarantee every page of your website will be included in the SERPs. Considering I’m constantly adding new products to my company’s website, I need to be sure that customers can find them as soon as possible.http://www.seoptimizerz.com

    Comment by SEO — July 24, 2007 @

  35. If you’re a blogger (or a blog reader), you’re painfully familiar with people who try to raise their own websites’ search engine rankings by submitting linked blog comments like “Visit my discount pharmaceuticals site.” This is called comment spam, we don’t like it either, and we’ve been testing a new tag that blocks it. From now on, when Google sees the attribute (rel=”nofollow”) on hyperlinks, those links won’t get any credit when we rank websites in our search results. This isn’t a negative vote for the site where the comment was posted; it’s just a way to make sure that spammers get no benefit from abusing public areas like blog comments, trackbacks, and referrer lists. http://www.gordoniihoodia.net
