The Future of Videogames
Sid at the office sent this video around. It's an absolutely amazing demonstration of reality augmentation technologies. Sure beats wearing a stupid helmet in a cage. Posted by jane at February 28, 2005 01:25 PMComments
I have to point out that augmented reality (AR) already exists in games. Many EyeToy games are essentially AR games. These simple, computer vision-based games are laying the foundation for future advances in entertainment AR, such as those hinted at in the video.

I mean, those games at the mall that cost 5 bucks to play games such as Dactyl Nightmare sucked in retrospect. But as a little boy whose past experience with first-person shooters up to that point was Doom and Faceball 2000, I thought the idea of an intense 3D world where you could - get this - look up and down and around you was simply stunning. I mean, the original Quake put these games to shame both in terms of graphical quality and gameplay. But for about a year, I dreamed a dream of me and the machine becoming one. Wait, what were we talking about again? Posted by: Mike on February 28, 2005 11:22 PMAs with all things, expect the pr0n industry to figure out a viable consumer use for this before video games. I'm just sayin'. Posted by: bowler on March 1, 2005 07:51 AM
