[QUOTE="crazyflipperfingers, post: 139395, member: 312"] Spoonman, while I agree with you 100% that Sony will really get behind this, and it's a major part of the future of gaming, developing for VR is much more involved than adding stereoscopic 3D support. Think of your typical first person shooter. Do you think a number in the upper left representing health, a number in the upper right representing ammo, a scroll wheel that appears in the middle of the screen, etc.. would look at all "natural" in VR? How about your basic menu screen right there floating in front of your face? There are a ton of things to take into consideration. See some of the Oculus talks from various conferences on YouTube about it. They go into much much more detail (way better than I can explain). Most games will either have to go through a major revamping for VR or be designed from the start for it. It's not a simple port. BUT... in pinball's case, I think it's the simplest scenario. The full machine will need to be modeled in 3D (I believe Farsight already has that) and then the user basically sits statically in front of it. All user feedback is already there in the form of the playfield and DMD. I think pinball is a perfect fit for VR and I really hope Farsight jumps on this (my money is on Oculus over Morpheus by the way, just because of hardware limitations). For the people who just can't get there heads around why VR would be amazing for pinball, check out these videos (they still can't convey the awesomeness, but do give a taste): [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln8eR3Pl0P0[/url] [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9mOrh10wDQ[/url] [/QUOTE]
