Virtusphere - Full Body Immersion Virtual Reality

This looks like the closest thing yet to a real-life holodeck! The Virtusphere is (as the name suggests) a large hollow sphere which sits on a set of computer monitored wheels. This allows the sphere to rotate a complete 360º whilst still allowing the computer to track the movments.

I think there making a big mistake putting the person in the sphere rather then on top of it. If you look at the mechanics of the real world, hoisting someone up over the sphere and having that person run on it like a round tredmill would allow for better range of motion with the rest of there body. Not to mention. Imagine being in a full run in this contraption and trying to stop on a dime. Makes playing FPS Games very hard. Run, Jump, Dodge,Clime.

@champayne17 Nobody! It's totally worth it, plus the Virtusphere comes with the awesome FPS shown in the video! Who doesn't like a shooter with no enemies and oddly floating powerups?
