I wish next-gen consoles implement this.

I still don't know how to feel about this product.
It is definitely a child dream to have such a immersive system, but more and more this kind of technology get us away from our nearby world.
Can you immagine the PS5 or XBOX next gen with this kind of tools? ans then when you play with your friends in the same room you no longer see them. It feels like we are all going to get our dedicated world but none of us will be able to share it...

So more than the technology itself I am looking for the way they want to implement it and what kind of applications they expect form it.

Anyone who have an idea? (appart from Doom-like games of course...)

I would LOVE to play some kind of combat flight sim with one of these.

I just hope that Spark and Matrix dont destroy the idea like EA/BIoware or Activision/Blizzard.

If the flight sim looked like this video of the real F35 helmet it'd be like playing a video game!...is that full circle?
