[MrBrucebracey]

some really good stuff here

[trakkaton]

Why help assholes who are war criminals?

[TheRetroZombie]

This isn't necessary, Just throw some Counter Strike on there.

[xbooooox]

Give them MW3

[honorific88]

The guy in the first 30 seconds and starting again at 1:05 has obviously never played a first person shooter in his life.

[cdx873v]

that explosion in the beginning of the simulation was so real i'm thinking that fire is just something the government made up! iv'e never seen a car exploded for real. it turned in to a black peice of turd so fast! so real!

[cdx873v]

he's shiting he's pant's in a 1980s game! if he played BF3 he would lay down and die!

[MrCyberspaceman]

Reality of war in our San Diego living room.

Therapy test centre's a cure for future generations.

[FSK1138]

The Future of Gaming: Putting on a Helmet,You are Transported into the Video Game World,You'd Interact With the World as you Would in Real life.

Imagine Call of Duty,Your Holding a Gun and your Shooting up people Online.

[doggypower1]

you lot are dick heads the graphics are realy good

[JaredProject]

they need infinity ward to make the graphics..

[GenerateX3]

This + Natal = Total VR

[RobinMoviesOffical]

Awesome! War with controllers!!!

[gevelegian]

I don't get it... why do they all put tens of thousands of dollars into the hardware... to make it as accurate and immersible as possible but always use crappy graphics and they always say WOW SO REAL, imagine using graphics like crysis... what would they say then? TOO REAL? :)) MAKE BETTER GRAPHICS!

[virtualrealityworld]

@gevelegian well VR uses existing 3D engines primarily. The very good engines ie. Unreal, Crysis etc. have very expensive licensing fees. PTSD VR applications require grants from various govt and NGO organizations so there is limited budget. Also all the 3D modelling is expesive. These VR Therapy apps don't have a retail revenue stream. There is a push at the "Serious Games" Expos to get these license fees much lower for Therapy.

[TasuLife]

@virtualrealityworld You guys should get into GameTech or IITSEC next time, if you havn't already. I'll look for you there next year : )

[valek27]

@virtualrealityworld They could use blender, THEY HAVE NO EXCUSES

[alooper21]

on a 2d screen those graphics look antique because the 2d screen cannot give the illusion of volume. that's where the 3dvision hardware makes the change and that's what actually impresses the viewer.

[LegionAreWe]

@gevelegian

The graphics are able to be used with this hardware , but this isn't a video about hardcore gaming is it? No , it's about creating a calm environment for PTSD afflicted soldiers to be able to process the situation that caused the intitial problem. They CANNOT use intense environments because that is not therapeutic. This is a calm environment so the brain can process the event without making the situation worse. We're trying to help them , not worsen the problem.

[DevilMaster]

@gevelegian Stereoscopic graphics, especially when used together with a head tracker, are inherently more immersive than monoscopic graphics on a screen. They say "wow so real", not because of the detail of the graphics, but because they perceive actual depth, like reality and unlike what you see in a Youtube video. Of course, extremely detailed graphics would be even better.

[GOOGOO20003010]

@gevelegian This is only the beginning, the Cocoon will be way better :D, and is gonna be finished in 2012. (Soon)

[watts4563]

I have used the british army one of these, it has much better graphics and is awsome.

[virtualrealityworld]

We only supply the various hardware and do custom builds/integrations. We currently do not build the environments or the 3D Models/engines. What type of interface did you use? Projection, monitor, head mounted display etc..

[watts4563]

It was haead mounted, basically the same type of technology but, It was build to entertain and display to the public.

[joygarner]

Cool

[caspice]

combine the unreal engine 3 with vr800 system, and it will become damn cool!!

[Quuob]

well i would shit my pants too...

Less of the war theme

but more because of the graphics and poor animations.

Seriously: Being again in the nineties -that fills my pants.

[masterchief3100]

if he is scared of that have him play doom 3 in a dark room all by himself with the virtual reality set on heed shit his pants twice and die lol

[Mosfet510]

@masterchief3100 lmao!! Yeah, I bet he would!

[baddb0y93]

lol this guy has naver played a video game with surround sound

[redfoxbennaton]

I wish I was Andy right now.

[shanghaiwolf]

My buddies and I got to try this after we got back from deployment.. to see how our brainwaves would react to re-enacting.

[XinayShin]

Imagine playing SIlent Hill or Call of Duty 4. I would probably shit my pants... lol

[TuiL0uMuli]

LOL! You are so right!

[halofighterhq]

@XinayShin lol imma shit my pants if i play F.E.A.R with these thing.. xD

[Exotic47]

Imagine playing Doom 3 with this!

[TrevNShanesAdventres]

I would shit my pants.....

[atk502]

They need to hire some gaming studios to make theese VR scenario applications. More realistic, high resolution graphics, and lifelike animations/physics would really intensify the VR experience.

I'd like to see this guy's reaction to a world that looks as photorealistic as COD4, for instance.

[SoulPhantomX]

I agree that more realisiic, and high resolution graphics need improving for VR enabled applications/programs. I also believe that Artificial intelligence and the improvements we could make in this field could further intensify the feeling and life like appeal for VR simulations.

I would like them to incorporate this into a MMORPG, something like Project .hack

[TheBrakeX]

what game is that???

[PandaVampires]

Its a simulator. Not a game.

[feeltheimpact23]

Well, they are making virtual reality programs to help the soldiers' cope with the trauma. I don't know how it would work psychologically, though.

[virtualrealityworld]

They are but the government needs to increase the funding and grants for various proceedures.

[rick664ath]

this is ridiculous, did you know that more soldiers have died to the trauma than soldiers killed in iran.

they should invest much more in helping them

[espkh02]

what the fuck, i miss everything, when did we declare war on iran,,,,man i gotta renew my cable.
