Make it 10x bigger and 3x faster and you’re halfway to having a holodeck.
Disney has their own version of Epic’s “Volume” I believe, which is also very holodeck-esque
I don’t think it needs to be much bigger for an individual, just fast enough to keep them near the center even at a run. Smaller pads will be the way to go, just have to drive and control them in sync. Maybe predictive software to only run where your feet are at or will be, to minimize the noise.
I’d imagine running puts a lot more wear on the moving parts :/ It’s gonna have to be pretty reliable
Seems like it might be helpful to prevent people from escaping the work prisons we’ll all be toiling in one day. 🤣
(Was that too dark?) Super-cool tech, though. 👍
“they” would probably opt for more efficient robots and just let us poor people die/kill each other
Really interesting video. I can imagine playing an MMORPG where you get around by actually walking and running. Suddenly the biggest computer geeks would be super fit.
like when the collective world went outside at the same time when Pokemon Go launched. Our quiet downtown area was amazing to walk through. all those people.
Kind of a shame that the pandemic was so soon after. I wonder how much it affected the game’s popularity.
It was 3.6 years after? And it was pretty dead at that point. Like it was popular with a core group who were making Niantic and TPC tons of money, but the phenomenon was dead by the anniversary.
It died in my area when they dropped the amount of spawn nodes to the point where you couldn’t really walk around. You had to drive pretty far at that point, and that kill let most people’s enthusiasm.
I don’t know if it was complaints by local businesses or what, but after that I never saw large groups walking around again.
