Oculus Rift sounds like it could be a Keen level. Keen enters Bloogfoods, Inc. / Fribbulus Xax / Oculus Rift. It just fits right in.

I saw an Oculus Rift (or something very, very like it) on TV last night being used to help kids with learning difficulties explore the world. It was quite cool.

Was that on the Project? Saw that too, excellent to see it used for a cool application. I'm hoping it can be used for more sensory games like the Myst and Uru games.

Heh, the first thing we imagined was something like Silent Hill or Dead Space with that thing. That would totally freak us out I guess.

Like watching videos of people doing the guillotine demo on that thing. I'm sure that would be pretty freaky though.

Sure was!


I'm looking forward to 3D printers being combined with this tech to make in-game objects real. I hope someone else has had that idea as it would be really cool if someone actually did it.

Nice! Make your own Sword of Disintegration with 1D4 damage. :p I'd be up with that too.

Makes we wonder: if you print a human being, will they have a soul too?

No, souls need to be die-cast.
