The Oculus Rift Game That’s So Real It Nearly Destroyed Me
- EvanKelly 12y agoThe military has a history of using video games as training tools for soldiers. Modded SNES units were used for rifle training and various other games have been used for tactics. The author's description of his reactions suggests that the Oculus Rift could potentially be utilized to train soldiers for stressful situations.
- ispolin 12y agoSounds very similar to the "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat"[1] film shown at the dawn of cinema. Some of the audience supposedly jumped from their seats in terror as the life-size train seemingly came straight at them from the movie screen. I wonder if this kind of thing happens for any mediums you aren't familiar with from childhood. 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Arriv%C3%A9e_d'un_train_en_gare_de_La_Ciotat#Contemporary_reaction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Arriv%C3%A9e_d'un_train_en_ga...
