Here's the phrase that worries me most:
"MotionwareR overrides the body's balance inputs. "
I'm not sure I want anything plugged into a computer overriding any part of
my body no matter how much fun it is, thanks.

What do you guys think, that this thing is going to shoot a big spike
right into your brain and latch itself to your central nervous system?
:-) Can anyone explain what this thing really does?
I didn't have time to read all of the patent screens, but it sure
seems like they're reluctant to say what it does without all the
psuedo-medical BS.
For 100 bucks, I'm guessing it's probably a hard hat liner that
vibrates. I'm also fairly confident that it won't download the
contents of your brain and upload them into ***space to be examined
by mad scientists.
I also can't imagine a 40k file is going to provide a hell of a lot of
motion trickery, either. I have games with .TXT files bigger than
that.
I can't speak for everyone, but for me to lose my sense of "real"
situational awareness, I'm going to need something that completely
removes intrusions from the outside world.
Think of the feeling you get when standing still on top of a tall
building and staring up at moving clouds. Do you know that weird
feeling of semi-motion you get for a second until you get your
bearings?
I'd be amazed if this thing could even accomplish that feeling.

I don't actually know what they do, but what I think they are doing is
using a (strong) magnetic field, directed at certain areas of the
brain. That pulse will trigger the nervous system, and the area in the
brain at which the field is directed will determine what you
experience.
