@Jamievrcade @Dexyu I heard the rift guy interviewed by Rev3 games, and he was talking about how you could combine the Rift and Kinnect to simulate a more limited version of what you guys have here, but for the home.
I'm a big fan of alternative input devices and 3D gaming, so I am trying to follow the Occulus Rift as much as possible because I want to get one when they hit retail and there is software support. I suppose I had it in my head that your VR helmet was a rift, and you were working on a gun to go along with the rift as an added PC accessory. The reason? I want very much to have experiences like the one demonstrated here at my home, and I guess I assumed that's what was being shown here out of wishful thinking. I would totally love to go to a big place with a VR paintball type experience, though I am a bit dissapointed that this tech can't happen at home. Yet.
If think people see the picture for the video and observe what looks like an occulus rift, see a gun, and think "Oh wow... the Rift is getting a gun controller!" Maybe if the display didn't look exactly like the rift, people wouldn't get that impression? Good luck with your business idea. I hope you guys have a location in Fort Worth. It would be cool if you guys got licensing from different IPs and had settings that were like popular shooter movies/ FPS video games.
@Jamievrcade @donalbane Oh I get it... it's like a VR version of the old laser tag places I went to as a kid. That's neat. I guess I was confused because I thought this was something people would have in their homes. I guess you could some day do it in a back yard, though... if you had the means to tell the game the location of your obstacles.
Fair enough. Maybe I was just projecting based on the news that the religious content of the game was somehow altered to be more inclusive to the faithful.
However, as the interview progressed I thought Ken's response to this issue - how he used a potential resignation as a way to reassess his characterization of religious people in the game - was one of the most revealing comments he made in the interview. It showed that humility is an important aspect of genius, and shared a facinating glimpse of the qualities that make this man so special.
I enjoyed the restaint of your interview. A lot of interviewers wouldn't have created an environment in which such nuanced comments could have presented themselves. I imagine a lot of people in your shoes would have asked a bunch of narrow clunkers like, "So tell me... which vigors got cut?"
