Sensory simulation system for overcoming a fear of heights : DigInfo

[SlowlyPeeled]

Yeah but your back isn't against a wall and you wont always be looking down and your hands need to continuously interact with something..

[mangofruitist]

this is the future of video games

[donniskapic]

i would jump just to see wat happens....and tht guy in the suit almost fell over, dumbass lol

[l4d2kid]

you have to do that in a zombie apacalpse :)

[Maggotsolider777]

the first step to a complete virtual reality video game :3

[jigs8000]

Geez i love japan.

[ferrai360]

let's do some HARDCORE PARKOUR

[TheDrzainyzain]

the next step is virtual gaming system!!!!

[devonwolfgang]

Did anybody else notice the very slight, and sudble resembalance to the begining of the first Matrix to this?

[cdizzzzle]

The whole time I was waiting for him to fall off.

[GreatBlueKnight]

My balls smell funny, I like heights and vaginas :D

[alitllebitemo]

I would jump!

[xander0713]

at 1:16 I thought that guy came in on a skateboard

[Gooboy25]

Damn imagine this in games, imagine playing WoW with that.

[andrew8833]

@Gooboy25 Nvidia are working on things like this, but their quite expensive.

[McMuffinClause]

I wonder what would happen if you tried to jump off.

[vowles23]

@McMuffinClause I think you'd just continue walking in mid-air :P

[vincesabin]

that's awesome, but that's a horrible fire escape.

[ccgamemaster75]

those nifty asians



[NewVenari]

I would like to try that on

[IScreamForiIceCream]

What if you were to jump off?

[devourment8800]

fail, you cant make an fps with out a gun in the corner of the screen

[TheThesuperdude100]

@aa321919 calm down nintendo did nothing bad its just that creators of video games are really smart and  that goes for xbox and ps3 too

[caramelsquid]

Oh my gosh this is amazing...

[nasseb]

I dont think this will treat acrophobia or any fear of heights since the person using the equipment will know hes not really there.... n he'll poop his pants wen its the real thing

[M1sterHamilton]

Im scared of heights because ifi lose my balance/a sudden gust of wind comes along..

[sweetswantonbombs]

i would jump. lol

[ryker012]

I love heights how can i get to try this simulation? :D

[zebrezism97]

man that would freak the sh*t out of me, im scared of hieghts

[gounc93]

so what happens if he falls off the edge?

[candyglazed]

oooh i wanna try it too bad i cant

[Koseiku]

I'm not sure if that really works. I mean you know that you are not really there and having that knowledge you know that you can't get harmed. Why should you have fear then? I might be wrong, though.

[melvings]

wel then dick head ur just going to have to folow your heart and believe... use ur fucking imagination... even something like this can stil be hard to do if u actually have a fear of heights ... @Koseiku

[Koseiku]

@melvings lrn 2 spel u vry stoped person

[melvings]

OMG YOU GOT ME THERE OH NO YOU DIDNT... please seriously... are we in a fucking english class u dumb founded dip shit feeble minded idiot? its called TEXT language or "SMS" according to wikipedia and is seen as short hand writing for the internet.. now if u wanted me to i could spell proply but i dnt thnk it would help ur dumb brain understand the actual message... thnk about that retard... SNAP I WENT THERE @Koseiku

[Koseiku]

@melvings Lol you're really a bad person.

[melvings]

[ihatebobspammers]

@melvings top it please

[ihatebobspammers]

@melvings i mean stop it. please.

[melvings]

lmao who the fuck are u? and that convo ended a month ago. cant u c u fucking retard.. 1 month ago... it never continued after that.. fucking little idiot @ihatebobspammers

[ihatebobspammers]

@melvings i am young w0w

[melvings]

are u capable of reading? no matter how old you are... if u can leave a comment and piss me off then maybe you should have directed that time into being a little smarter... wow @ihatebobspammers

[dorkytehl]

I'd jump just for the hell of it.

[iiwiiss]

Wait, is that fire escape really designed to make people walk on a small ledge with no railings?

[RainTRM]

@iiwiiss I don't think it's a fire escape more so just a ledge outside of a window.

[mrtoastpluh]

they should make it wireless and set up a corrusponding obsticle course = mirrors edge!

[hlaltimus]

I don't know...They should have put in a couple of red fire trucks, a crowd and a waiting ambulance down on the street level to make it look more realistic.

[robertom2002]

GTA !!!

[Suomalainen123456789]

and what happens if i jump over the ledge

[mrtoastpluh]

@Suomalainen123456789 you shit yourself and think again

[martinlarsen20]

this is not scarry... its a fucking computer game..

[faryponieproductions]

what happens if i 'step' off the ledge?

[ColdBoi]

I think V.R. is the future of gaming, internet, and movies

[sl8734]

wow first invention from japan i saw that isn't retarded, good job

[Jin6107]

@sl8734 lol wtf

[JesseCyrussHarlow]

@sl8734 umm they invented everything asshole

[TheMelancholyOfNoone]

@sl8734

fail idiot.....

[mrtoastpluh]

@sl8734 and what exactly does america invent NOTHING

[sl8734]

@mrtoastpluh woah, WOAH. before my bullshit alarm kills me, i have to say something about this one, i want to agree with u mrtoastpluh, if by "nothing," you mean inventions that r ACTUALLY USEFUL like the airplane, lightbulb, telephone, artificial heart, not to mention youtube, the internet, and the computer u just typed ur comment on, but thats just nothing compared to (look it up): "japanese hairblocker," or "japanese napkins feeder" or god forbid "japanese robot baby." please.

[Huba588]

I see the future of gaming :)

Go Japanese!

[bionic5670]

i'd pay some money for that kind of app on Google Earth :D

[35057]

oh hellz no! I'm getting sweaty palms just watching that shit.. You wouldn't catch me on the damn ledge!!

[BabyLioness]

1:12

...lol

[LunaticQuutamo]

this must be pretty good to train a roofjump suicide...

[slyrez]

i want one!

[BeckyBoo1532]

that doesnt really scare me that much because its not realistic. they should put a fan on you to create the effect of wind

[4oldskool]

lol fuck that. just put them on real roof top

[alexiox55]

dammn think where this tech will be in like 20 years ohoo

[the26thhour]

20yrs ago they did this, I tried it out & as far as I can tell, the only improvement is the CGI [which is still very stale], its still too clunky, awkward & impractical. At this stage, in gaming this should only be used for any simulation that involves just sitting down, even what they're doing in this vid requires a rail for the person to hold onto while walking, which I guess would make it practical enough for the purpose they have in mind?

[kingcross777]

wow the future of video games!!!!!

[DaRkAnGELMLGJ]

WoW that so cool!! Imagine how cool it will be to play Mirror's edge with it!!

[reiganar]

Great!!! How can something be built like this for low cost?

[arupa30]

コレなに？

[akacoolz]

welcome to matrix...lol

[ETERNALinstants]

yes!

[abkleo]

lol u'll need a huge space to play that

[gabe0083]

need a video game for this thing

it would be like a GOOD virtual boy

[luigi836]

imagine a glitch and you fall

[whitestar111]

lol i was thinkin of what if they decided to just let their self fall in the fake reality

[kukelz]

lol cool, they should use some wind maker machine and beter graphics to max out the experience

[PumpkinHead223]

loool agree.. the building looks kinda the same, but no red signs :3

[docfret]

In a short time the real view people have of their surroundings will be so bad that they'll have to wear a head-set device, just to cheer up. The future sucks it's all fake.

[azulHYDproductions]

I want to play videogames with this...

SO AWESOME!!!!! XD

[ArkitekturaMecanics]

what if u purposely choose to jump down? lol i wonder what will e computer screen show

[Aerial29]

mental damage is possible with this technology!

lol

[langerCAN]

True, I would also rather take the fall than be burned alive I think... It'd be so fun until you hit the ground...

[majorpointer333]

that looks amazing

[benton202]

wow the matrix lol

[SNineThree]

yeah in a sense and in the arcades also there are a whole bunch of VR based games like that

[yeomond]

mirror's edge!

[SNineThree]

lmao yeah how awesome would that be wih this

[langerCAN]

Wow what a shit fire escape...

[theonlyreallaz]

test

[Harimakum]

It would mostly become a "Suicide Simulation"when it is used throughout the whole world xD

[langerCAN]

Just to see if I'm man enough to not pussy out on the edge before I try it for real.

[Cappelitoo]

very cool !

btw look at this channel:

The Far From Sane , they pwn :D

look my channel too :)

[JesusJedi2000]

What happens if they run and jump off the edge?

[lduk]

I would lol.

[Minidrags]

imagine if you could play computer games like that... :D

[Mituhori]

now thats something im waiting on.

[SNineThree]

there are games of that variety
