VirtuSphere: Virtual Reality Without Running into Walls.

Alex

While it's not exactly a Star Trek Holodeck, VirtuSphere is definitely big step in the world of virtual reality: it eliminates bumping into walls!

The VirtuSphere platform consists of a large hollow sphere that sits on top of a base and allows the sphere to rotate 360 degrees. Wearing a wireless, head-mounted display, users can step inside the sphere to fully interact in immersive virtual environments. The VirtuSphere enables 6 degrees of freedom – one can move in any direction; walk, jump, roll, crawl, run over virtually unlimited distances without encountering real-world physical obstacles.

Virtusphere is so yesterday, try going to my site and see the future in VR motion. Then tell a friend.
The Mimicker True 3D Motion System is coming to a town near you.

I am of two minds on this article. On one hand, The suggested DIY experiments are practical, potentially informative and relatively cheap. On the other hand, the kits are not that much more expensive and come with comprehensive instruction manuals.

If one is capable of explaining the electrolysis of water to Hydrogen, then use the homemade experiment. Otherwise, you would be smart to buy the kit.
