Could VR Be Good Again?


When I was a kid VR was the greatest concept imaginable. We would be able to see the world inside computers just like the real world now...unfortunately the Virtual Boy was the closest we ever saw to a practical home VR system. However, Nintendo has once again surreptitiously slipped VR-capable hardware into our homes with the Wii's motion sensing capabilities. Johnny Lee is one of many who have adapted the Wii's hardware to create a truly excellent proof of concept. Now,will anyone ever use this technology? Good question.
