Somebody needs to get this video to the right people at Nintendo... this is absolutley amazing, and a headset like that would cost about 20 bucks to make. Virtual Reality... for 20 bucks :shock:

Awesome video. Only thing is that its only good for one person at a time. That is the complete oposite of what Nintendo is doing. They want people to interact with each other and be in the same room when they're playing games. If anything, sony or microsoft or some third developer will get on this idea before Nintendo.

I sent an email to Nintendo about this and here is what they said.

Hello,

"We appreciate your desire to bring this talented student and his video to our attention here at Nintendo of America. Rest assured that we are very aware of what goes on in the online community as it relates to the video game industry. For official news and announcements, be sure to keep an eye on our web site, www.nintendo.com."

Yes! That means that there may be hope for this to happen! Also, "rest assured that we are very aware of what goes on in the online community as it relates to the video game industry." Could a Nintendo employ be watching these and other forums at this very moment? Cool!

Hahaha, I missed that, but no less safari and more track ;):P. And WOW that vid is great and this guy is great, Nintendo should bring out a game that comes with such a pair of glasses and that (obviously) makes use of the Virtual Reality thing. WOULD BE GREAT :D!

Very awesome. I didn't really believe the title when I saw it, but after I checked out that video I think that it easily could be. Imagine if you set it up to a projector instead of a TV so it took up a whole wall or something...

The VR plus Wii Fit would make Wii Fit seem a lot more involving.

I just realized that nintendo, if they do this, wont do it until Wii fit's sales go down. cus tilting side to side is pretty much the same thing but alot more easier to use.

This is the kind of awesomeness I expected when the Wii was the Revolution.

Nintendo (or a third-party developer): get on it.

if nintendo actully do this and make some GOOD games that use it i may have found a reason to keep my Wii

Also the finger one would be awesome if they made a glove and made a starwars game that let you use and controll the force with the had you had the glove on and use a wiimote as a lightsaber in the other (ofcourse you would need two wiimotes if done the way this guy did it)

lol if sega made a console using this... (and avoided getting sued by nintendo for using their technology)... had a few decent games (maybe a GOOD sonic game?)... then sega would freaking own the race...

however, i think sega's more of a ps3/360 type of console...

btw am i the only one who thinks, despite being awesome and everything, that this guy has WAAY too much time on his hands?
