MBI Holodeck

I was always curious about the effects a holodeck would have on gaming, learning and how we perceive what we call “world”. But that’s a dream, I don’t think I will taste in my life. On the other side, there are signs that the industry is approaching the field of computer manipulation through other means than mouse and keypads: facial recognition, voice control, heart beat or your position.

I found an interesting piece of information on Venture Beat about Apple’s ‘Multitouch-Data-Funsion’ patent. As a consequence, we could see a complete new generation of “realistic” gaming. Wii is maybe the best example for this game genre right now. It brings reality as a simulation to the player, but as a difference to holodeck games, we could combine simulation (skill transfer) with role playing. I wish I could enjoy this one day in my life ;D
