Pretty awesome if games using this VR technology came out. The software available to download from JohnnyLee's site. This vid already has 2.5 million views on YouTube. Thanks to Terence Sim for sending this in.
Wow, awesome idea. Might try it out some time later~
oh my freaking shit. that is so kakkoii yo!! now i really wan to buy so wii. Just ask a shop yesterday. Its retailing at MYR 1399 here (USD430) Just imagine VR Wii with a Bishoujo game. U can actually do "panchira" mode...way to go. Have a game when the player who does the most panchira wins.
I predict this guy is going to be rich if he goes for a patent or something to protect his idea.
Old. Had this video in my youtube favorite's for a couple months. Should have shared it with ya earlier if you like it that much. Nonetheless, it's really cool to see VR applied to the possibilities of future gaming (though it's an old technique, more common with the arcade then the home screen).
Just saw this on Penny-Arcade today, I'd bet a large part of those 2.5 million hits showed up after Tycho posted it.
Actually most of those views were after Kotaku and countless of other gaming blogs posted it ages ago. PA is not THAT popular...
ya. this vid's actually kinda old haha but honestly. imagining the possibilities of this... first person shooters would be so much more interactive.... thinking about a time crisis scenario and actually being able to look around the corner or duck. not like that crappy 911 first person shooter that only lets u duck due to your weight on the mat. *roar*!
LOL, Terence! Nice to see a fellow otaku with the same name as me. ^^ Awesome idea I must say, unfortunetly I don't own a Wii and I don't think I'll buy one in the near future.
That was awesome. I know they had all sorts of problems with the old vr goggles because they would make people sick (it fooled the brain), but this way you're still out of the game but just getting a 3d effect out of it. Nintendo better jump on this idea.
it is neat stuff and Johnny Lee has an awesome site.... I bought a Wimote to play with some of the appz and projects at his site... been having fun and thinking of a few custom spinoffs to try myself...
He has done a couple of other cool Wiimote-using stuff. Its a bit old news but none less amazing.
This guys work is amazing. I hope he gets a high paying job making all sorts of badass technological innovations for general use.
He gets a cookie cake for that. Hope more games do use this technology in the future cause I've been wanting something like this to be used in a mech game for years now.
Now my only concern is, it would be too tiring for me to move too much when playing my favorite RPG (Suikoden series). So, if only there is a way to make this VR works with just minimal movements from the users.. >_< D'oh, am I asking too much? ^^
Now thats crazy!!!! Why doesn't the Wii does this... Image that games taht we can play!!!
I remember seeing this a few weeks ago. This guy is a freaking genius.
Wahaha... They make it for eroges next... You can see the girl from different angles LOL!
Johnny Chung Lee = AWESOME!!! i might apply his multi-point interactive white board technique in the future =3
Holyshit this is a revolution.....just imagine watching movie at home with such stuff or playing game with it! Maybe it will all implement in the next-gen console (PS3 and Xbox360 are current gen now).
AWSOME !!!!!!!! i wish they had that for xbox360 as well
The next generation of games. I'm sold.
Can't wait for China's reverse engineering technology getting its hands on this. Then we'll definitely see China's Vii packing something that looks kinda familiar...
This is groundbreaking.Hope they will develope a game around this technology real soon.
sales of Wii will double if not triple if there're games using this technology. awesome! ('~')
Holy crap thats cool..... I really hope someone pays him alot of money for this and then makes lotsa awesome games using the idea. (If they havent already developed something like it that is)
Holy shit... This is a window for a new single player FPS game for the wii or in the Arcades... and ACTUALLY, the Wii can dive into the FPS market, b/c you know, Japanese Arcades have tons of Shooting games... (playing house of the dead series or that new silent hill game must be fun/creepy/scary at the same times with this effect....)
Thats HOT SHIT, Id love to see that incorporated into a console next gen. That dude should sooo be proposing that to Nintendo right now, that would be the perfect "new thing" for the Wii2.
