It would not be suited to VR eye tracking. It works well across a wide range of environments, which is great, but you can get much better results within the constraints of an HMD. And in response to the question "Are there any plans for eye tracking ever to be inside the Rift?" No plans, just investigation. Eye tracking becomes most useful when you can use it to adjust convergence and physical focus of the display. Current eye tracking tech is not up to that task, neither is optical technology. | ||

** The kinect's abhorrent latency actually means it would be unsuitable for VR purposes, but hopefully future tech will fix that ^^ | ||

They have already succesfully mapped signals in the human brain with computers to a point where you can control a cursor with your mind. The next step is to send information back and we will have a complete integration of human and machine. 50 years is more realistic tbh. | ||

At first glance, this just seems to be a graphical and weight-reduced rehashing of that. Then someone mentioned Skyrim. There would need to be photorealistic graphic capabilities at that point, and some walking mechanic that doesn't involve jogging in place. There's already a phone based game of slenderman using the camera function, so if this likely expensive hardware will support indie games, there could be an explosive revolution.. or the whole idea itself will die for another 20 years. | ||

Don't you lose a lot of awareness at that point? I have an fps (quake) background as well and anything over 110 is too much for me.. | ||

This isn't really supposed to be VR though, it's just a new visual interface. You shouldn't expect matrix-like moving around in a room and it being represented in the game, you should just think about how much more awesome it would be to be inside the screen than staring at it. Even in the most simplest terms, it's very interesting. Hell, just think about a flight simulator. You don't need walking around to be represented in the game, you just need to feel like you're sitting in an airplane. The disconnect is bigger with games like skyrim etc where you walk around, fight etc, but I think it will come natural, at least to people like me who immerse in games pretty easily. I already feel like "I'm there" staring at a screen... with a device like this, I would literally feel like I'm in the game, even if I'm still holding a 360 controller in my hand. | ||
