Virtual reality to the limit: the most extreme setups to enjoy video games like never

All that we grew up with films of science fiction We imagined the future as a world in which you could connect to a glasses of virtual reality and enter into a host of fantastic worlds. Recent films such as Ready Player One have been tuning plus the shot and have imagined technologies such as costumes or platforms that appear closer, while that future world science fiction begins to become a reality .

The day may come when it is usual to see them in each house We have already been surprised with a Skyrim player who has invested more than $ 15,000 to enter the world in the most realistic way possible, Haptic vest , Mods of fans, all in order to feel that it was really inside the game. But there are always people who go further and take virtual reality to another level . The Ingenuity of VR enthusiasts joins that of the engineers of companies that seek to surprise us with Setups that are a fantasy for any fan of this hobby.

We talked about Ready Player One and I think the first thing that comes to mind when we think about the protagonist setup is that omnidirectional tape by which he moves in oasis. Well, far from being something possible in the cinema, the company Kat VR has created a tape identical to that of the Spielberg movie. The tape allows us to walk without moving from the site thanks to a base that we can slide while we are subjected by harnesses to a static fastening.

The basis to which we are subjected has sufficient clearance to allow us a great immersion , allows us to swive, walk forward and backward, turn to anywhere and is compatible with the main glasses of Virtual reality of the market. It acts as a movement control device with tracking on the feet for greater sensitivity. The same company manufactures a Premium version that hangs you directly from a support, for greater freedom of movement.

You can also combine this system with some haptic gloves that simulate the resistance exerted by objects, these advanced gloves pull from each of the user's fingers replicating hardness or resistance that would have those Objects that we are holding virtually, which would increase the level of immersion, since until now it was impossible to touch virtual objects without a physical replica outside the simulation.

But if you like are the games of driving , the next setup will leave you with your mouth open. We have always had flyers for our Games of a greater or lesser quality, those who have Force Feedback already feel like a great leap in terms of simulation and if we combine it with a good chair with anchors to ride a flyer and Pedals We already have a fairly complete setup, but there are players who certainly seek something else.

YouTuber Machkun1 showed a setup complex where a competition seat, steering wheel, pedals and actual levers are mounted on a hydraulic motors system with movement in six axes that make all imperfections From the layout feel like you're right there. The system combines it with some Oculus Rift and we can see the level of fidelity presented in the video with respect to movements of the game itself.

The gender of aviation is more fashionable than ever with the successful Microsoft Flight Simulator, which we analyze days ago on the occasion of the Microsoft consoles. While the title is really played well in console and PC, there are no doubt there are people who take aviation in another way. If you do not have a vertigo , the next setup is going to wonder, and maybe until daring.

The YouTuber envisser 28 shared a video of a model for aviation simulation, which combined with a HTC Vive was capable of generating a total immersion. With a rotary platform with capacity to rotate 360 degrees , the video shows us as the pilot gets to face down while controlling the game from your computer. The system also has flying joysticks and levers to improve experience.

But it is not the only fan of aviation, we have also hallucinated with the Setup of Hobby Tech Gear , which in its YouTube channel has shared the impressive replica of a plane cabin that has been built. He has replicated each of the controls for once sitting inside and with his glasses, being able to touch each of the parts of the control panel directly as if he were in a real airplane cabin.

The YouTube channel Wonder World has shown even larger systems and apparatus for the VR simulation, it is NOVA , a sphere located on a system that makes it Roll in any direction . Inside is the cabin for the pilot and the one that is like a giant hamster ball, rotates at full speed, getting really intense answers . Although this device is intended for professional use, the creative company has confirmed that it will manufacture smaller ones for the domestic market .

What is clear is that the world of virtual reality is attracting many hobby businesses and enthusiasts to get new and advanced modules for simulation, in some fairs we can see totally excessive assemblies , They make delights of science fiction fans and anime, like this seat that replicates the cab of a giant robot .

In recent years has advanced plus the virtual reality industry than in several decades, which is attracting more and more fans of simulation. Each time are more common These devices of science fiction and may come the day in which it is usual to see them in each house. How do you imagine the virtual reality devices of the future ?
