And when I say virtual reality I mean the kind you see in movies where you feel like you are in the game.

some day, unfortunatnely i think we were born a tad too early for that. Or if not we'll be 90 when it comes out.

Some day, not for me though I don't think.

Last I heard there were still a few things to work out. Such as how a human eye focuses, something near in focus, while further things out of focus - visa -versa. In a AI being able to tell this.

Or looking in a AI seeing your hand, is it actually in front of your face or a inch over type thing. Thus requiring markers or a body suit type deal. To aim a axe and hit a piece of wood where you want I think may still be some of the issues still being worked out. Hand, eye coordination etc.

Been a long while since I heard anything on it though.

yea sure there will be that kind of consoles, but deffo not in my time, yes they are saying that they are working with this kind of software where u don't need a control, they are even "rumors" saying that there wont be any CD's anymore, it will a small stick that will play things up, but thats only for the films atm, we just have to sit back and wait and see I guess...

Not for a long time. 3D is only now starting to gain traction in cinemas and those with the cash for 3DTVs, so tech like that has to become pervasive before the next "logical" step of VR can become a...err...reality.

I was about to ask, do people still want that?!

I certainly don't see why we can't now have the types of games that were in arcades 10 years ago (like Dactyl Nightmare, or a skydiving one I once played). But I really thought the public interest in virtual reality had basically died.

I doubt there will be much controversy over videogames at that time because the people that grew up with games will be in control. Also there isn't any controversy of movies, tv, books, and music anymore because the people that grew up when they had that controversy are in control by the time we have Virtual Reality they will already be on something else to be the scape goat.

When every third person on the planet wants to be able to see boobies on their face at any given time, whenever they feel like it, in the comfort of their home, you better believe it'll happen.
