virtusphere
image virtusphere
virtusphere is a new virtual reality system that utilizes a large rotating sphere to allow users to walk
around in virtual environments. the design is a plastic sphere that is mounted on a wheeled platform
that allows the sphere to spin in all directions, based on the user’s actions from inside. as the user walks
forward the ball spins to keep up with them. users wear a wireless head mounted display that syncs with
a computer to allows them to play video games or experience virtual environments. as a video gaming
platform, multiple spheres can be connected to play games in tandem. from a design perspective,
the virtusphere could also be used as a tool for doing a virtual walkthrough of a building or visualizing
any 3D object.

all that technological debauchery to become a virtual soldier is pretty sad and not exactly an improvement of human kind.
but hey! what can you expect from two guys wearing so ugly shirts? :)
(how is this "ballshit" related to design in the first place?)
