Discussion The Start to Real Virtual Reality...

Virtual Reality has already gotten pretty immersive, as shown in this video. Since thy can already recreate walking and hand movements, how long do you think it would take before we can all go become Legendary Moonlight Sculptors?

 

Probably another ten years to be an actual full immersed vrmmropg. (Hard to put what I think into words without sounding weird.)

 

Do immersive do you mean to the point we can go in pods and have the game connected to our brain waves? I so, I think maybe... 30 years since it would be hard to find a drug to make us sleep that isn't harmful and can be used on a constant basis

 

I would say 20-30 years before getting vr capsules with those capabilities.

 

yeah that's what I mean

 

Drugs seems like a bad branch to go through. I'm sure that if they can sync the brain to games, they can put the body into stasis instead of relying on drugs... still, they would have to think about regulating the body's condition and keeping stuff like bowel movements from being affected from the game's excitement... I would had to crap myself IRL if facing a big monster.

 

Just take some hallucinogens and pretend to be Kirito.

 

Honestly, I'm kinda scared that game makers nowadays are heading to a weird branch of gaming. Instead of full immersive VR, they seem to be trying to connect IRL movements with games. This isn't VR, but AR, no? Augmented reality means the game is incorporated into IRL. For example, a shooting game where you and your friends are outside and use the game system to shoot each other...

Reason why I think so... look at the stuff now. You basically have goggles with full view screens and headphones... this isn't full immersion or virtual...

 

Best estimate 40 year. Latest 200 years

 

True, but this is more like the first step. I was thinking goggles that connect to the brain and are power by brain waves would be the first type of VR System we will have. Afterwards, it will develop more to the point smells, proper sounds, and everything else will seem realistic. But again, its just my opinion

 

Eh, VR right now is pretty janky. It'll take a while before we get anything really good. Right now its mere novelty

 

This.. is not VR, this is but a higher grade (yet more retarded) audio-visual immersion. In which they use the logic of 3D concept and try to make you think you're there. That's called illusion. Used by artists to trick your brain. It's a pseudo-stimulant to your eyes, and btw. it's not original. Illusion has been in use for centuries. This is just using 3D on a slightly higher scale on the pc, trying to replicate the illusion in every day life.

Also, full immerse VR (your brain going into digital space for real) is possible within 10 years. slightly, maybe not at all. a lot of factors are here to be included.
EEG is prime example of reading brain waves and getting the best idea of what your brain is doing. with this you can "control what you do without doing it in actuality". though, this needs a huge upgrade and so on. also, there needs to be an inflow of data. which, is impossible. to receive data directly into the brain without being "digested" by the "gates" we call senses (sights, hearing, touch, smell, taste) the brain would fry from the huge unfiltered flow of data.
there is also paralyzing certain parts of the cerebral cortex (movement) so you can't move both in body and mind and cause some issues. (no, you can't prevent having to take the dump or being hungry, don't be an idiot. but there could be a system warning [again. EEG knows your brain the best] which will notify you withing VR that you have "needs" and should log off.

it's complicated all of it. and these "VR head sets" aren't even scratching the surface of actual VR. (the one you usually think of as from SAO)

 

Hmmmm

Its probably the same time when we all live in pods where everything is controlled by an AI overlord....

wait, isnt there a movie like this once? ...
I'm guessing its 2150.... according to a computer simulation, everything went bonkers that year....

 

I only Know VR already used in military training

Till the mass produced affordable stuff comes with an abundance game titles and sophisticated graphics.. I'd say 200 years or more.

 

That is so cool..... Damn..... Maybe Augmented Reality with an omni-directional tradmill is fine if they can't do the fully immersive ones.

Yah we do, I got to mess around with this stuff for a few days in ft Stewart. Works pretty well as long as it's set up right.

Also got to play on the army version of what I can only describe as arma for an entire day after that

 

Depend on the money poured to those direction, but my estimate is at least half a century... and to make it even common people can use it will take longer I think...

 

oh~ really science and war always work together not bad thing. IMO for VR tech available on public like LMS level maybe at least 150++ years in future because this tech can bring a lot of new crime potential. It hinted somehow in Shura's Wrath when talking about alliance power struggle

 

For the VR in novels, it will probably take 40 years to get a basic grip on it. That's also assuming that people are actively pouring funds into virtual reality.

As for mass production and such, that'll take longer than developing the technology itself. The product would also be absurdly expensive.

Making a game as good looking, realistic, and deep as Royal Road would also take a considerable amount of time. Perhaps in the next decade or two something like that will pop up, but i doubt it. A game like Royal Road that's neverending would also just be bad for business and unsustainable.

This is just my completely uninformed and five second opinion though. Take it as a grain of salt.

(On a side note, that commentator is kind of what I imagine when reading an all caps post. Like damn)
