One interesting thing though, is that the closer to real life it is,
probably the less accessible it would be.
For instance, it mentions that students are developing a game with real time
combat where you swing swords and shoot guns, ---- well sinse in real life
fencing is pretty difficult for a vi person, that's accessibility gone
straight off. I remember a virtual reality 3d plane sim my brother played in
an arcade in the 90's, and being extremely disappointed that it was utterly
unplayable for me, sinse I could only see what I'd see in a real cockpit,
which was not much.
indeed I've noticed myself that low vision access has decreased as games
have become more graphically real.
So, while I think it's an intereting bit of technology, unless we're all
going to get vizers like Jordi laforge, I don't think it's one that will be
really a good thing for vi gamers.
Beware the greu!
