For all of you people thinking it's gonna break your arms or legs. It's not a fucking mech suit! It doesn't have any machinery in the joints to invert your legs for fucks sake. It's just casing so it can track your movements properly.
I thought about the Halo novels when reading your comment. In the first Halo book they talk about how a dude put on the Mjolnir armor, then was asked to move his arm, but because the suit amplifies your strength by a hundred or so, it literally moved so fast that it broke his arm, and then he flinched and the entire suit basically crushed him to death after breaking all of his bones; the guy literally beat himself to death.
Lucynda Riley don’t say that dude there is more then this you can do in your life and I know it cool and that and all but you got live your life without regrets
You should sell your friend's house too, while you're at it, but without him knowing. That should almost cover it. Two houses and a big loan would suffice to buy one. But better yet? Make sure you fill out a business license before you do so you can claim all those expenses as a business loss and get them back in taxes. Then hey, just go a few steps forward with it and charge people money to come have awesome experiences with your Axon VR machine! Maybe you could open up a real business and call it "Virtual World" or something. :)
The "can go outside for free" argument has to be one of the most idiotic and simplistic, not to mention willfully ignorant comments people make about VR tech. Can you go outside and fly a jet plane? Fight dragons? Pilot a mech? A tank? Can you go outside and experience a combat zone and not get your feeble arm chair expert ass turned into swiss cheese? No. You cannot.
The "can go outside for free" argument also assumes that everybody has the luxury of living somewhere that "outside" is a place worth going. When VR is as common as a home PC or TV, people who live in urban slums, or in the plains of fly-over country can use their VR to "go outside" and take a hike anywhere in the world. Or walk through a virtual recreation of a museum, etc. "Everything is supported" in the real world, and severely limited. How did you even end up at this video? Shouldn't you be watching someone jump a 4 wheeler over an old fridge out on the back 40? I'm sure someone needs you to hold their beer.
These aren't really intended to be in people's homes, it's more designed to be set up as a public attraction. Have a few units in arcades, at the mall, casinos, etc. My mom knew somebody that was investing in this company. She showed me some of the information they give to prospective investors and asked for input from the family nerd. Axon has a lot of people who were big names at Microsoft and other tech companies. She thought about investing but I'm pretty sure she decided not to, I kind of advised her against it. While I hope AxonVR is wildly successful, they're not the only people working on something like this. Although their vision does seem to be more ambitious than most, even to the point of audacity. Very interesting, but kind of a risky investment I think.
Great idea but unfortunately this will not succeed just due to the amount of room required, unless the developer will offer some sort of buy this get one extra room built for your house then maybe lol right!
These aren't intended to be in people's homes. They're being designed for public applications, and users would rent time in them, etc. Kind of understandable because of how audacious the technology is, but I don't care, I just want to see it exist! Maybe before I die there will be affordable in-home ones.
With a system like this simulating pressure on your joints it could easily figure out that you are walking, turning around, jumping or using friction to slow yourself down just from the pressure and position of your feet. This is how you walk in real life without realising it!
What if I am presented with a scenario in virutal reality where it prompts me to use the bathroom, and that bathroom usage triggers my body's own instinctual waste excretion process in real-time?
One would think that catheters would be much more viable. It would become kind of unimmersive if you're still smelling yourself after you've left the virtual john.
I can only image those weird glitches where the character bends like a ragdoll, and the fear it comes when I know my suit it's about to reproduce those feelings in a second.
Brian Johns I was just thinking that! If the technology can be adusted for paralyzed people, than it might give them a chance to 'walk' agian. Or am I going too far?
Joseph Moran the only way the expo suit comes close to affecting you is be feeling and temp you still move the suit doesn't move you so if your game froze you could easily just take it off
Jorgan Jorgans well what do we have here an aggressive 7 y.o mad his mommy took away his 3ds seriously dude get a life and stop harassing people online
Ah the nerve gear the most ridiculously named an none-sensical devices ever thought up. Something like that in real-life would be VERY complex and would have to tap directly into the base of the brain stem to intercept and prevent neural messages from reaching the body a procedure that itself would take millions of dollars to complete. But then again, it's a TV show.
THEPEWPEW GAMINGCREW Hacking the brain is still far away. Rich and athletic youngers may get a roomful of white mechanics plus wireless haptic suit plus AR to get the experience.
DragonsBlood dude thats actually awesome i didnt think of that. like in a vr world, you're lifting buildings and throwing them, but in real life it only resists by a a few dozen pounds
You could use this for bodybuilding. Or physio therapy. Heck, maybe this will solve the obesity crisis at least among gamers. Running though skyrim fighting dragons is sure to burn a few calories.
Glad to hear someone else has had the idea to use exosuits to move in VR. I had an idea for a VR system that connects to an exosuit at the person's center of mass with 3 rotatable circle/torus shapes (like a gyroscope) which allow for roll, yaw, and pitch. It would be possible to move and interact with the virtual world and it would also be possible to, for example, lay down and feel like you're laying down, or do a backflip. Add some movement constraints to the exosuit when touching objects and voila there's not much more to improve. The only problem would be the way it's connected to the exosuit, it would be possible to accidentally hit your arms on it.
Naw, it does that for you. Hell, it even sucks the shit straight out of your ass so you don't need to use the restroom. Basically, every WoW players dream device.
Yeah, more like Ready Player One though... SAO is full dive which means that it shuts down all physical nerves and sends fake signals to the brain to create the world of SAO. I know in the Ordinal Scale movie they use AR but it's still different from this. The closest thing to relate this project with is Ready Player One. Sorry for being such a nerd :P
This would not even change the gaming this would change evrything. Just think about how the e-sports would work if you really need your full body. Like if your walking thousends of miles in a open world and feel evry stone, the temprature and even the rain. This could nearly be sword art online ^^
Platonic yeah but it would cost 29474584727152948472927364849464648585649946383820374749484792936484758484930397346747373837474838736364847463747464748362829336464784847363838364848294745847271529484729273648494646485856499463838203747494847929364847584849303973467473738374748387363648474637474647483628293364647848473638383648482947458472715294847292736484946464858564994638382037474948479293648475848493039734674737383747483873636484746374746474836282933646478484736383836484829474584727152948472927364849464648585649946383820374749484792936484758484930397346747373837474838736364847463747464748362829336464784847363838364848294745847271529484729273648494646485856499463838203747494847929364847584849303973467473738374748387363648474637474647483628293364647848473638383648483737463774936284846384836368585737 trillion euro to buy
I gassed myself with bleach before and also drank bleach. My mouth bubbled up and my lungs hurt really badly. I developed permanent nausea eventually from this.
The Man The Myth The Legend Bocajing In the clip it shows that you are attached to like a crane so you don't touch the ground. Maybe the crane can move you so you are in a horizontal position. Then you just move like if you're swimming
I'm not sure this is a good idea because what happens when you cross your arms/legs in certain ways? Imagine trying to apply the "rubber guard" in BJJ without some part crashing into another...
I think it's unlikely they would install motors capable of doing any real damage if they install motors at all. Early models are likely to just be elaborate systems of brakes that do nothing but resist your movement.
THIS right here is the future of VR. All those already existing versions that try to make it as real as possible are lacking and /or are very limited. But this is near full immersion. Something like this will do much more than just enable you to walk around. It will make things like going from walking up to a fighter craft, climbing up the ladder, entering the cockpit AND then proceed to fly said virtual craft possible and that without braking immersion. If done right this could even simulate zero gravity to a reasonable degree.
TheExplodingChipmunk Yea think about the next 10 next years,look the computers in 2000 and look they now,the most difficult is discover new ways and that guys did it
so if U climb a ladder in VR do your joins feel it? Or if you stand close to a wall and reach it with your hands will you arms be stopped so you do not pass the wall in VR? I mean suit will restrict your movements depending on the things in VR? Looks like a thing from Ready Player One book.
Yes that's correct and its possible even though very complex hardware. Actually I remember when I was maybe 10 years old (9 years ago), we went to visit a university in my local city with school and they had actually already developed something like this in a smaller scale. They had a pen that was attached to mechanical limbs and in front of the pen they had a screen so that you couldn't see the motored "pen" but only the screen. And then you put your hand under the screen to grab the pen and you looked at the screen and there was a animated pen on the screen as well. Then you could move the motorized pen under the screen and the animated pen moved on the screen and you could touch all different kind of animated objects with the pen. It was really cool, you could actually feel all the textures of those objects, their softness and so on as if you were touching real objects with the pen. Depending on how you moved the pen, it "touched" the objects on the screen and stopped the pen with the motored limbs if you hit something. It was surprisingly realistic. So if they could make that almost a decade ago, the exoskeleton thing certainly is possible today.
Imagine an RPG in this. Like you go through a tundra and it's really hot so you take off your armor to get some breeze. You run to a cave to find something a little bit cooler and you lay down on the rock floor. Imagine feeling the cold rough surface of the rocks. Now, this may not support laying down, and that's fine. But, just a conceptual idea of something that you use your senses in. I think that just sounds awesome.
Since trying out the HTC Vive belonging to a friend of mine I've been really excited about different technologies that aims to bring more body simulation into VR. This concept is really impressive. However, I can't help but feel that it is a bit overly complicated to fit yourself into an entire exo suit just to be able to walk around. I realize the necessity of it for the system to work, but if you take a look at something like Omnifinitys omni-directional treadmill: www.omnifinity.se/dev/ It's easy to see how the technology is simpler (in all forms of engineering the K.I.S.S-rule always apply: "Keep It Simple, Stupid!"). I also have a hard time seeing how the Axon VR exosuit would allow you to do things like you can with the omnifinity treadmill, like crawling on your belly and such. That said, the Axon is way more impressive in regards to the tacticle feedback in letting the user feel texture and temperature of virtual objects. If you could somehow combine the impressive full body force feedback qualities of the Axon with the freedom of mobility of the omninfinity, then that would be pretty awesome.
You're suspended in the exo suit, why wouldn't it be able to allow you to lay down (suspended in air by the machine) and then use its tactile feedback to make you feel the floor beneath you, in whatever texture it happens to be? I think you lack imagination, but that is to be expected as all of this is very new tech and we are not used to thinking in such terms.
Seven Proxies The suit isnt for easy walking around, we can already do that, its to apply pressure to any point on the body so you can actually touch and feel things.
What seems more practical in the near future is the virtuix omni or something similar. But i think something like this will inevitably become huge in the long term. That is, unless we figure out how to control games directly with a neural connection...
Well yes, there isn't much use trying to get people to install this in their own house. However, this is where the good ol-fashioned arcade system comes into play. The circumstances for the current day's full-body VR are the exact same as when arcades dominated back in the day: it was at that critical turning point in gaming technology where videogame systems were possible, but were too expensive and bulky for people to have at home. That's why arcades took off the way they did, and now the same opportunity is presenting itself again. Here's hoping the right people capitalize on VR arcades - otherwise, expensive high-end solutions like these may just not get enough financial backing to reach their potential.
Zelta 1234 no doom game came out in 1999 fucking idiot doom came out in 93 and 2 and final use the same engine closest thing to 99 was doom 64 which was in 1997 which doesn't use that engine but is also the least popular actual doom game... think before you speak
Alli-hater like alligator What the fuck man? Maybe he just didn't know the exact dates and really - who cares? Doom is old and looks silly compared to new games that's the fact what he wanted to tell.
This technology will likely remain "bulky" as well, since it requires enough space to move a person in nearly any direction. So traditional gaming with monitors and keyboards, and perhaps even regular VR headsets, will remain more compact and practical for those who don't require lifelike immersion.
Yeah, you're right, this will never replace keyboards and mice. But it will almost certainly carve out it's own niche. And also has potential application for physical therapy or military training. And i know for a fact, i'd gladly pay 5000€ to play the elder scrolls or shadow of mordor in full body VR. That would be an incredible experience. You could experience whole other worlds and a life you could never live elsewhere right from the comfort of your own living room. You could come home from work, and then travel to middle earth and slay orcs on the fields of minas tirith. You wouldn't even have to go on vacation because you could go to the bahamas or the moon in VR. Maybe this tech will start off slow, as with anything it would be highly expensive when it's new. But in 10-20 years? Who know, maybe it'll be as affordable as a good computer and light enough to fit in a standard closet.
I remember when I watched Ready Player One in theaters. If that film were to be a reality I would be in my 30s when The Oasis came out and 45 when the events of the movie took place. I remember how on the driver home, my sister and I kept talking about how we wish The Oasis was real and it is cool to see that someday soon something like The Oasis will be. I know that that isn’t what these people are working on but the addition of sense of touch to virtual reality and the creation of these “exo-suits” bring use one step closer.
I was going to do this but I don't think anyone will have the money to buy or will be willing to strap in, would need to be like the iron man suit before they will come were you step into it and it closes up around you, you will also need to make it so you can lay down as well, good luck anyway hope we see them on the market or in the arcade most likely they will be the only place that can afford one and have the space to install it as you will need to set up a safety zone around it as well, nice work anyway.
finally a real comment on this that doesnt mention stupid ass SAO. I totally agree with you, VR is just waaaaaayyyy too expensive, and half the time the price just comes from the ingenuity not even the cost to make the product itself. Just look at omni virtuix, the whole rig is like almost 2 thousand dollars. Imagine if this went on the market, it'd definitely be more than double that if not triple. If i saw this in an arcade though you bet i'd be there all day messing around in it lol.
The first computers cost between 15000 and 100000$ adjusted for inflation. Tech is always expensive when it's new. Give it 10 years and vr will be as affordable as any other form of gaming today. And buy VR stocks, it will take the world by storm when that happens, the stocks will shoot up like a rocket and you won't have to worry about money anymore.
I wasn't saying "we're", I was saying "I was born in the right generation". does that make any sense? if so, I just don't want to get into any fight right now 3:
except you have to sell your home to buy one , the only way to to buy one is by make it old and if its need to be old it means in far future , so yeah you were wrong you DEFINITELY born in wrong generation :D
I never dream or think of an exosuit, but make so much logic, you want to walk and feel things that aren't there and you cant create them or move the ground but you cant make an exosuit that give you the illusion of walking and touching. Wow.
Wait till they bring out one that simulates completely losing a limb and the pain that goes with it. In future games, there will be consequences for failing to beat the AI.
I wish this the best. Last night I had a dream that I was in a VR world. The setting was like the Citadel from Mass Effect. I was able to jet boost in the air, grab trees, climb objects. It was so real, and so innovative, I was sad when I woke up and it wasn't real. This made me think of a rig/system that could do this. Allow a user to walk...jump off a cliff and do a backflip, etc...I woke up and immediately researched what tech was close to this, and I believe this system is the closest. I wish you the best. A full haptic suit with 360 degree motion is a dream come true. I hope you get full funding. Good luck.
Actually had this same idea for a reality simulator, it's thrilling to find its a work in progress. Imagine the applications, its just sad to me that I'm not actively involved in bringing this to reality.
Can you imagine if the people who are currently working on the gloves, the exoskeleton, the headset, and stuff all either banded together, or made a system for it all to be compatible? It would be like putting a PC together today, except you would choose things like what model and company your gloves will be from and what model and company your suit will be from. This could be very cool and modular for the smallest to biggest of budgets, and if people wanted to have better glove feeling then they could get that if they didn't care much more about the suit being very expensive.
So from what I understand in the "force feedback" part... If you get crashed by a boulder in VR, the exosuit will pretty much act like a FNAF costume, and crush your insides. Or if there's a rock tumbling down, and it hits your arm in VR, the suit will break your arm.... nice.
VR is the future, can't wait till more tech like this becomes affordable for the average consumer. Then we'll start seeing games programmed for it. Can you image, the elder scrolls or your favorite mmorpg in full body VR? You'd struggle to tear me away from it...
Including 4 games that come with Axon VR Exosuit:Getting shot simulator,Falling in hard concrete simulator,being burned alive simulator and the best one:Being eaten by a giant f*cking dinossaur simulator Also in seeing a lot of people saying that you could break your bones and die and burn in this,but it's only a felling,it's not for real,it's just like putting a candy in your mouth,and tasting it.
