3001 AD develop VR rides AND HMD's for theme parks but they are going to release a consumer HMD which is the same version that has been used in their themeparks. They said it would be affordable, but when i read the technical specs it did not seem so interesting, they say it's 42 inch screen size and light weight, with a dolby digital 2.0 sound for an immersive sound experience. check it out here:http://www.3001ad.com/homeentertainment.cfm and here are limited specs: http://www.3001ad.com/VRstar_Head_Mounted_Display.cfm Also do you remember that roller coaster shareware game that was relased a few years ago called Ultra Coaster on the PC. Well i bought it and loved making tracks as it was so easy, well 3001 ad have now developed a ride for themeparks it is very small and can fit in tight spaces. They say, you lock your self into a seat inside a cabinet and you put on a HMD and it is a motion simulator running a Nvidia graphics card with 6 tracks from the game. I am not sure if this simulator goes upside down. I am going to write to them and find out, as i very much like the idea of this. I remember going on something very smiliar to this about 5 years a go at Dinsey Quest. It's a 8 storey high virtual reality themepark near Disneyland in Florida. The ride was really cool, it would go upside down, but you would view a screen instead of a HMD. But it was a different kind of game where you could develop a track on the fly. I made a track but as the ride is a 2 seater the kid i was sitting with i ended up riding his track which was pretty awesome. He was like really happy that i said we could go with his track. Oh and check this new ride out which is the game table featured in the movie "Lawnmower Man". http://www.3001ad.com/Merc_Racer_3000.cfm specs here: http://www.3001ad.com/Merc_Racer_3000.cfm?c=v&n=12&t=t | ||

I saw this at e3, it was playing some world war 2 game. It was cool, or at least it was better then my svga i-glasses. It was comfortable to wear, although taking it on and off was kind of ruff on my glasses. The displays kind of bothered me, in that your eye position made a difference in how bright it was, but given that it was easy to reposition the unit on your head and it was comfortable to wear I don't think it was a big deal. The head tracking was nice, there was a noticable lag, but I think it is tolerable. I probably should have asked what the price point is for it =P. | ||

Also, there setup for that ww2 game was kind of bad. The controller for the game was a gun, they should have just had a regular controller, because the gun didn't track and it literarily was being used like a gun shaped game controller, that had a d-pad and buttons and a trigger. | ||

Has to be under 100 price point and not make u dizzy and hurt the eyes for this to sell well.79.99 sounds about right for most peoples though and bug free too.Im also seriously worried about the resolution has to be at least close to or as good as my component input samsung television. | ||
