    John Carmack talks virtual reality head sets...

    They had an attempt back at this in the 90s if I recall, but they sort of died you...

    Can Carmack get it right this time?

    John Carmack has been building a virtual reality headset in his spare time. He’s showing it to people behind closed doors at this year’s E3, tucked away inside the Bethesda booth, and described it as “probably the best VR demo the world has ever seen.” Our video hero, David Boddington, was the 30th person in the world to use it.
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Japanese Developers Make a Game to Go With Hands-Free USB Pleasure Gadget

    Japanese engineers have been making automated masturbation devices for a while now [here and here], but as Brian Ashcraft from Kotaku finds, they've finally made a game to go along with the action.

    The SOM, a USB-connected wank toy, comes packaged with a game called Cross Days. Developers hooked up the SOM to be coordinated with the action on screen during the "climax scenes", which is so obvious execution of the two products that we're sure this has been done before.


    I can just picture some nobhead being found catatonic like that guy in the movie Brainstorm because he put a virtual reality sex scene on endless replay.
