- What the heck is this thing called?

- Has anyone seen an arcade game use one of these? Anyone ever been in one?
- How much do they cost and where sells 'em?

What's the proper word for a giant VR hamster ball... thing
Ok, I've a few questions, and you guys may be the best people to ask, since VR seems to be a 80s/90s era technology as too many of the youth of today have have wet dreams about motion controls, AR and touch screens (I blame it on a lack of healthy childhood activity like as blowing dust out of cartridges).

Didn't even see the sh1tty 'stache! You know the game probably looks like a 1991 ITV kids show, right? |

barfogenic is an actual term in VR fields for too pretty graphics used with a low FPS. Besides, I think this whole push for realism in games is offering diminishing returns, on the whole. Doom or Battlechess in VR? Or Portal with dumbed down graphics ? Sign me up.

![]() ... As I was saying, that's the most brilliant thing I've ever heard. Also at the time of writing "shut up and take my money" is the top comment on that YouTube video and the estimated cost of the cart is $1,750. |
