Game Forum / Action Games / Doom / August 2004OT: VR suits
What happened to the VR suits we were supposed to have by now? Several companies started making VR glasses and gloves back in the mid 90's with the promise that we'd have full VR body suits soon. They were supposed to have full tactile feedback. True virtual reality, almost like being there. When will I be able to use one to play Doom 3 with one? Can you imagine the state of peoples houses when they take the helmet or glasses off!!! OR try to explain to your parents why your walls have 12" foot holes in them and all the windows smashed? OR the Police when they say they've had a call about a "disturbance" in the house next door? OR the amount of people being garrotted from the cables as they try to run away from a HELL NIGHT as fast as they can. Sounds like fun to me!!!! Where can I get one? :-) Spence > What happened to the VR suits we were supposed to have by now?

True virtual reality, almost like being there. When > will I be able to use one to play Doom 3 with one? Oh yeah. You really want full tactile feedback while playing Doom3. If you want to simulate being in close range of an imp, strap 30 live alley cats to your naked body and take a cold shower. That'll be a start. SignatureMy NWN Work So Far: http://tinyurl.com/6xy2f "Pits of red smoke and fog are usually bad." - Tip from Doom3 Manual Here's something to try if Doom 3 has 360-degree stereo (I tried this with Half-Life, and it works great!) Get a decent sized monitor (any size will do, really, but the bigger the screen the better), turn off all the lights so you're in the dark except for the monitor. Plug in stereo headphones - get the ones with the big, bulky earpads so that all other outside noise is inaudible. Finally, set the mouse to be the controller for the gun, so you have something in your hand to click just like in a real VR game. Now play the game. It's as close to virtual reality as you could get for cheap, because your senses are now almost completely focused inside the game. Try it, it's awesome! > What happened to the VR suits we were supposed to have by now?

I agree....I have a huge monitor and a pair of the best headphones ever made, Koss Pro4AAA, and I get so drawn into the game that everything else just fades into obscurity for a while.

Playing Doom? on a500Watts Home theater is enough to have the cops at your door. Or the rest of the family run to church... Don't you think :) N?o Was reading the specs on the SoundBlaster Audigy2 series of sound cards. Apparently there is a "Virtual Surround" feature for 2-Channel speakers and headphones that the SoundBlaster Live doesn't have. Been thinking about upgrading just for this feature alone.

The only problem with headphones is that you miss the ambient noises - like my cat hiding behind my chair and then scratching at the floor ... I nearly had a heart attack. I had to turn Doom off for a bit and take a break after that :\ Dan |
