Legal Issues Regarding Future of Video Games and Virtual Reality

[Jester Joe]

I have a DK2. It's not much more bulkier than a headset. Oh, and it really does work quite well already, and it's still in development.

Can you actually lay down with it on and not have your head at like an awkward propped up level, or do you need to sit in a chair?

Replace crap on head with crap on eyes...these are not alternatives! D:

You want tubes like Yu-gi-oh had obviously, right?

Could always go the Red Dwarf way of sticking things straight into your brain.

That sounds like a great way to play a game. Run around, doing stuff.

Hey, wait a minute... my logout button is gone...

Nothing more than a strap on the back. So that would be easy. I'm not sure how you'd accurately track head movement while lying down, though.

I have no idea what that even means D:

If anyone's ever read the Pendragon series, the only thing to fear is something like Lifelight. Sure, we could develop that technology just fine and use it, but control is the key, not overindulgence or prohibition.

Shh, I'm lazy and like laying down.

You're so out of touch! It's basically a chamber you lay in, it closes on you, and you sleep in it while playing the game.

Would you like to try Virtual Reality contact lenses?

That'd be pretty awesome, I'd totally buy a set

I was thinking about this today, actually. I really do think virtual reality games in a few decades (if the technology is popular) will be incredibly dangerous in terms of addiction. If we progress on to be able to stimulate other senses (nerves, smell, etc.) I see it completely devouring a LOT of lives.

True but in a few decades humans wont be needed for work anymore as robotics and automation will replace the majority of jobs on this planet.

I want to see Virtual Reality paired with the brain sensors for controlling the game. http://www.emotiv.com/

I'll put up with a lot of crap on my face as soon as video games let me go on a date with Lightning, who is my girlfriend.

Your waifu a shit.

Your waifu a shit.

I've seen a lot of things on this forum. People advocating for genocide, murder, rape, torture, etc. You name it. I'm fine with all of that. But you crossed the line, buddy.

I don't think VR is a worry personally. Augmented Reality is what worries me - soon we'll have no clear indication of what is real or not.

Pinch yourself, do you feel pain? Can you jump 12 feet in the air, run at 140 KPH and not feel tired? I think VR would be a glorified version of real reality
And there will be a logout button and several ways to get out of the dream state, I would imagine.

2 problems that I foresee. 1) the expense of creating said virtual worlds. Lot at how expensive video games are these days to develop. Creating a true virtual world would be insanely insanely expensive,

2) processing power and bandwidth. granted, I think these 2 are the more easily doable of this process.


Overall though, the true future of VR probably lies more along the lines of Star Trek and Holodecks and holosuites.


edit: actually I think more like 2 forms of this due to the fact that people like to roleplay - by this I mean be someone else. Thus, a version where you'd be Luke Skywalker or Superman, and the holosuite version where you'd be able to be yourself. The holosuite would likely be mostly for porn

I'm sure at some point we'll have BTL (better than life) chips like in Shadowrun. Then we can really properly blame video games.

I'll make a movie recommendation:

Certainly not the best movie I've ever seen, and the poster cover stating: "Makes THE MATRIX look like child's play" is hilariously wrong, but it's a great take on what you said right there.
