I went to the Game Developer’s Conference this week. GDC was great. I met some interesting people and saw some cool technology. It’s really great watching the Internet and the gaming industries converge. I love this business!
This first guy is in what amounts to a giant hamster ball. He’s wearing virtual reality goggles and carrying a blaster.
He kept his balance much longer than I thought he would. In the end, he ended up disoriented and flopping around.
This implementation probably isn’t ready for prime time, but it was one of the longest lines at the show.
This second guy was dancing around in a black body suite with a few dozen sensors attached. The computerized image behind him moved on screen in real time with his movements.
Looking at these pictures that I took with my iPhone 3GS, I think I’m going to bring a real camera with me to the next show.
