A device that converts the HTC 10 into a Note 7.

That would be "The Bomb."


I would go with tracked weapons. e.g. Sword, Pistol, Rifle.

Why not a catheter, so you never have to leave VR? Maybe instrument the catheter so you can see a scorecard urinalysis in VR.

I would like to see new types of controllers with the tracking sensors built it. The most obvious of controllers would be, of course, a gun controller. A plastic AK-47 or M-16 with the tracking sensors built in so it just tracks itself without having to duct tape one of your $150 controllers to a frame. And a sidearm 1911.

Could do other things like sensors you slide on your favorite baseball or cricket bat or whatever for a sports game. You could rig up a fishing pole that has the "line" on the end of the pole hooked into something like a wench motor. When you get a bite the motor on the fake reel and the motor on the "line" could provide resistance to make it feel like you're really fighting to bring in a marlin.

The possibilities really are endless.

Oh, and pad the bottom of the HMD so when it's up on your forehead it doesn't feel like you're headbutting a meat slicer.

on that note, it would have been cool to have some vents with a small fan to blow air across your face while playing.

They use the epic names 9700Pro and 9800Pro for some reason.
