Interesting point, Devin!
Your point seem to be in accordance with Luke's one.
However, as we (John - I think - and I have said), just because we're
blind in real life, doesn't mean we have/need to be when playing, after
all, it's a game.
Whatever road, though, would bring us a lot of fun. I imagine the other
players would actually be surprised if they ever see a person with a
cane among them. Lol

I really think Virtual reality would be great for learning to use
sensory substitution things, like the vOICe, at seeingwithsound.com
<http://seeingwithsound.com>
Besides that though, being able to see in a VR game would be really
hard to simulate for a blind person, unless the things we use, like a
virtual cane and such, were invissible for other players. And even
then, we'd be slower than others, just by the fact that we'd have more
info to take in, we'd have to physically explore our enviornment with
the cane rather than just turn the head to look around, and, so things
wouldn't be equal. However, this doesn't negate how much fun we'd
have, just like current video games. Shoot, I could play Dissidia
Final Fantasy for hours, using OCR of course, but its still fun as heck.

Hmm, I think you're right, I hadn't considered it all.
But still (not that it's possible for now), what if someday they
could develop a kind of technology capable of make you feel this
sensation and forget about it right away?
Of course I don't know how it could be done but I tell you, when
it comes to technology, I won't doubt anything, not anymore.
Even though, your point is still valid. Before accepting such
complex concept, one needs to think of the implications it would
carry along, of course, with the good things.
A long way to go, isn't it?

Here's the thing: just because a sensation was created by a game,
doesn't mean you didn't experience that sensation. If games got
realistic enough that they could fully simulate reality and you
faceplanted the sidewalk, it doesn't matter that your nose isn't
broken in real life, you'll still experience what it would be
like, and you'll remember that experience.
So yeah, when you quit the game (presumably almost immediately
because broken bones hurt) you'll be back in the "real" reality
and your nose won't be broken anymore, but you'll still remember
what it felt like, and that's where a lot of trauma comes from.
You've probably paid someone to mutilate your body before (ever
had teeth pulled?), but you (hopefully) don't remember it and
have no lasting impact, because you were asleep for the process,
and didn't experience any of it.
So in short - just because it's artificially created sensation
doesn't mean it's not sensation, and that's where true VR gets
terrifying (because it doesn't always have to be in the context
of a game you play willingly).

I agree. But it's still about gaming, so, even if you were
confused with the two realities, you always would have the "exit
door".
Some experiences, of course, wouldn't be that cool to have :) but
well, apart from the feelings, sensation, it's nothing more than
a game :)

This would be awesome, depending on the game. Game worlds can be
a lot harsher than reality, and as incredible as it might be to
experience some of them, others... not so much.

Hello folks,
Just now I was randomly chatting with one person and then the
"virtual reality" subject matter came up.
So was wondering, what you guys think about this concept? How
far you would go with it and why?
Do you have any interest into a more complex concept behind this
all which maybe could even confuse you as to what's your reality
and what's the gaming one?
Thoughts are welcome :)
