That looks really cool. Imagine being able to feel the car roll, turn, awesome! Todd Wasson

I saw a feature on this thing on a UK Science TV programme this morning. The emphasis was that this can be used in arcades and computer games. The TV presenter had a small VR device on her head, showing a film of a motorcyclists point of view, while the boffin used a joystick to send the signals through the headset to her inner ear, (or whatever). When he pushed the joystick forward, her body leaned forward, and so on... weird. I'd be interested to hear what ppl in this ng think or know about this technology. http://www.vm3.com/MotionWare/option01.html TV programme http://www.bbc.co.uk/tw/stories/technology/0001virtual_motion.shtml cheers Ian (perhaps getting too excited)

There was a thread that discussed this technology a couple of months ago. I personally think it will be pretty cool to try it out.
