VR Testers Wanted!
Sometimes you have to love YouTube, you really do. I found this little gem whilst perusing the site's video game section. The sketch, which combines hi-tech motion detection with retro-gaming style, features just about every great Nintendo game to appear in the 1980s, including the original Super Mario Bros and Double Dragon titles. It's also side-splittingly funny and very technically advanced, one you read the explanation behind the video:
This is a live-action performance from the annual Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center's (http://www.etc.cmu.edu) Building Virtual Worlds Show. The performance is from December 6th, 2006, and students have TWO weeks to brainstorm, develop, and implement a virtual world, which in this case, was required of us to make an entertaining experience for a large audience.The performance is given in McConomy Auditorium in Carnegie Mellon, via the technology of the Playmotion (http://www.playmotion.com). The playmotion is a motion sensor technology that receives data on the user's head and two hands
If you were ever a child of the 80s, it's required that you watch this (if for no other reason than the Teddy Ruxpin reference).
