What happened to Virtual Reality helmets?
category: residue [glöplog]
It's 2007 and I honestly thought we would all be using VR helmets by now, playing online games as if it was real life and watching demos from within...not pissy flat screen monitors.
VR helmets were up and running in the 90s and it's not like it's all that complex. My guess is that they were phased out to avoid anti social behaviour or long term eye problems, but even if they weren't available for home use, they could be available in arcades or something.
Bah! What a disappointing future we live in.

They suck! The ones from the ninetees sucked and they still suck! I have to shady fortune of owning a Virtualboy and I can tell you that that thing is the quickest way to eyecancer!
Can I add to your list of 'where the fuck is it?'?
- Jetpacks
- Flying cars
- Nike shoes with electric laces
- Pizza hydrators
- Hooverboards
- Sexbots
- Robots in general

Also, what happened to jet-packs, flying cars and Duke Nukem Forever?
Is the lack of VR headsets killing the demoscene?
Gah, okkie was too quick for me... :(
There are plenty of head-mounted display manufacturers out there...
come one, we have teh intarweb v2.0 :)
nothing prevents you for buying 3d display gadgets, from screens to projectors, glasses, helmets, trackers, or complete caves if you want. Problem is, they are ALL completely unusable after few minutes, whatever invasive (glasses) or not (3d holographic displays). They are nothing more than toys so far.
How come? I never tried them.
Does it bring motion sickness like when you are reading in a car?

Jetpack:
Flying car:
Electric laces, dehydrated pizzas and hoverboards aren't due until 2015.
Sex robots:
Now, it doesn't move but at least it's heated internally. So the evolution of sex dolls seems to be:
- "It's like fucking a block of wood"
- "It's like fucking a piece of plastic"
- "It's like fucking a corpse"
- "It's like fucking an unconscious person"
The one in the picture above apparently also has an imitated heartbeat. So as you see, we're getting there. I think if you start saving up money now, by the time they start giving head, you can afford one. The japanese are working on it as well:
And as for robots:
Yeah, ok, that is pretty pathetic.

Yeah, as Doom points out (between the lines) you really don't want to rush these things.
Think of WestWorld, goddammit!

Influence Device: But where is Duke Nukem Forever?!
Hooverboards: Thanks to a certain Mr. Casimir we might be getting there.

Samsung has partnered with Korea university and developed the machine-gun equipped robotic sentry. It is equipped with two cameras with zooming capabilities one for day time and one for infrared night vision. It has a sophisticated pattern recognition which can detect the difference between humans and trees, and a 5.5mm machine-gun. The robot also has a speaker to warn the intruder to surrender or get a perfect headshot. The robots will go on sale by 2007 for $ 200,000 and will be deployed on the border between North and South Korea.
but is it able to give head?
It
wow. I'm amazed.

Thankfully, IIRC those things are stationary. Won't be long now, though.

Good, you don't want to have your trees shot up.
