Re: WATCH NOW: Revolution technology?
look:
Quote:
When the real world co-exists with the virtual one, Augmented Reality is revolutionizing the gaming world, as we know it. AR is the technique of merging reality and virtual worlds. Explore the endless possibilities of this technology with a suite of games that features the different aspects of AR. Starting with dancing game with your virtual partner boogieing in front of you, to a maze ball like game that uses physical props to manipulate virtual objects, also a arcade classic 'Frogger' like title in which you can literally walk around virtual 3D 'Frogger' to get the best perspective and more!

This rumor centers on new technologies that would change the way a gamer actually watches a game. To start, here's a brief intro: a fixation point is whatever a gamer stares at most of the time when playing a game. Thing is, most games feature several of these fixation points, so developers have needed to devise methods of including every object on screen at all times. When this wasn't possible, the display needed to shift and prioritize objects according to the action. Developers accomplished this by zooming the image up or down, to help gamers re-focus their attention. Just look at any number of sports games. The camera invariably follows the soccer ball, baseball or football. The document argues that the constant change in perspective makes playing games tougher than it should.

5 years. Started on a whim since I wanted an excuse not to eat my parents' horrible cooking. Now I'm kinda put off by meat. Tried to eat tuna recently. An excruciating experience. Used to love the stuff. Damn my altered brain chemistry.
Plus there was that crazy lady with Afro Chicken. How I miss thee. Can't eat meat when there are nice chickens with afros roaming about the city dodging cars and whatnot.

Re: WATCH NOW: Revolution technology?
these are interesting similarities in quotes:
Dr. Cheok on augmented reality:
Quote:
"Current games are restricted to static and monotonous interfaces where players stayed glued to their seats in front of a screen," says Dr Cheok. "We felt a need to explore into the untapped frontier in human computer interaction where users are immersed physically in the game. We believe that Human Pacman ...has the potential [to] create a new genre of gaming."
|
Reggie says:
Quote:
"Well, the concept of a home system today is defined as hardware that you tether to a box and you are tethered to it via a controller"

"I think we can come up with something more unique than the Eye-Toy all the time. We really want to be the number one R&D team." -Yoshio Sakamoto (Nintendo R&D1)

Reggie:
Quote:
Well, the concept of a home system today is defined as hardware that you tether to a box, and you are tethered to it via a controller; we think that's an old paradigm. We think that the consumer wants something much more innovative than that. Coupled with the concept of strong community and immersion into the gameplay, we think that's what we need to deliver on from a consumer propostion standpoint.

Quote:
it will be 'paradigm shift in [game] play' with the Revolution," Iwata said in his interview with Kyoto's popular local newspaper.
|
Quote:
"This won't be a continuation, but rather something entirely different," Nintendo Senior Managing Director Yoshiro Mori
|
Quote:
"What we need is not a next-generation machine but a next-generation way of playing games," Iwata commented. "We need to propose a new idea so that the game industry can overcome its current crisis."
|
Quote:
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. On stage at Nintendo's pre-E3 2004 press conference, Iwata said: "Different also defines our approach to our next home system. It won't simply be new or include new technologies. Better technology is good, but not enough. Today's consoles already offer fairly realistic expressions so simply beefing up the graphics will not let most of us see a difference. So what should a new machine do? Much more. An unprecedented gameplay experience. Something no other machine has delivered before."

Genyo Takeda said: "You'll be able to play [Revolution] not just by linking up to a television but to a computer monitor as well."

Re: WATCH NOW: Revolution technology?
Good finds to interesting quotes there Crash. Seems to lead to the possibility that this could be what Nintendo was talking about. +rep

I've been a veggie all my life.
And that stuff is pretty nice, but you'll need to wear goggles.
