Looks really cool. Has anyone actually used VR sets? Are they any good?

How much are these yokes and where can you get them?

Hobbes

Yea they had at IQCL and they were painful to use. Never got actually play with them as Reaper had typed "unbindall" before getting up.

Oh yea those Sony ones are not VR goggles, they emulate a wide screen cinema view, not 3D, and I believe they aren't that great (I was going to buy a set so did my homework on it).

Maximilian

Shame. I love gadgets. If you could get ones with decent picture quality for gamesit would truely Rock. Imagine playing SS2 with them.
I would predict a heart attack within 5 minutes of sustained use.

Hobbes, just what time is it over there?
Shouldn't you be sleeping or something?

Maximilian

Good news, sort of. I found out the real price of the Sony Glasstron VR Glasses:

Sony Glasstron PLM-A55, NTSC/PAL £850 uk

IS-30, Intertrax head tracker £650 uk

The head tracker comes separate (it controls the movement). It would still be cool without the head tracker. It would be kind of like playing a game sitting 2 foot away from a 56" Screen. Awwww drool.

There are two different kinds of the Sony goggles, one of them is a couple of 100 dollars, another is a couple of 1000.

Max we are -5 hours from your time here, so it's quite a respectable time

Maximilian

k, just don't do it again

WhiteWashMan

actually its funny reading this coz the other day in work we got trained up on the new IBM release in the states.
some of our new pcs are being sold witha new grafix card. its a 32 mg one but i cant rememebr the name of it
any way in some games you can play in 3d.
ie the screen is split into real 3d images
you can buy the glasses as infrared or just connected for 30 dollars and they are ****in cool

i mean these things rock!
absolute 3d
i'll try and fins out what its called but theyre mad yokes all together!

every wanted to see a grown man cry with joy???

Zeon

You do that.

SantaHoe

What model is it?
Are they Aptiva's...?
Ooh ohh, are they in the rec-room?
Can I play?

WhiteWashMan

hahahaha dead o.
dont tell me you are in ibm.
no they are not in the rec room. only the pool table and the sky sports!

and the glasses dont come with the pc, only some of them come with graphics card that you use them with, the elsa erazor 3 with the nvidia tnt2 chipset. its the elsa glasses that you can buy for 30 odd dollars
