The Future Of Gaming As Demonstrated At E3 09 By Peter Molyneaux

 

It is no secret that this year’s E3 Video Game conference was all about motion sensors with the big three companies – Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft showing new motion controllers. In this video we see just what this will mean to the future of not only video games, but the human experience itself.

Granted, this is not so different than the powerful virtual reality tools created by Jaron Lanier back in the late 1980′s early 90′s, but it has now gone mainstream and the integration and graphics take it to a whole new level – no longer will we require the bulky and once oh-so-hip virtual reality glasses around which many a Hollywood film was spun; now you will be able to interact from wherever you are in the living room, rec room, kitchen or otherwise.  The level of immersion will take on a whole new meaning as it opens up to anyone around, as opposed to merely the lone participant once relegated to a private experience and oblivious to the outside world.

This is no longer the stuff of fiction, the technology is here, it is only a matter of when the launch dates will be announced.
