  1. Nope, she doesn't mind. The neighbour originally came to me and suggested I put the car on her drive instead of parking it on the road. She lives alone and doesn't drive so thought that having a car parked out front would dissuade criminals from thinking the house was empty. My parents still live next door and she is a good family friend who we have helped out quite a bit over the years so I think she sees it as returning a favour, which works for me...... although I do very much intend getting the MR2 over to Ludlow sometime soon, feels weird being 25 miles away

  2. The thing is that the virtual side is fully possible and so is the integration of real world assets to virtual spaces, the problem is there are many many start up companies posing these ideas but have none of the technology to achieve it, much like the Virtuix Omni that you posted a few weeks back (the virtual reality rig for moving around) they all use several devices from existing equipment sets and claim to have created something new. Now I may be alone in this but to me that's taking credit for someone elses hard work. yes if you have put some creativity and expertise into one facet of the product it shows prospect but to advertise something as a branded product when you actually only created 10% of the package is kind of naughty in my eyes

  3. This is a concept video promoting a possible product that they are calling "the void". The idea being that instead of just the virtual reality, you would have a tactile real wold with the virtual overlayed on top. not quite augmented reality and not VR alone. Its a great concept in my opinion for experiences, or laser tag like scenarios, but it is all in the "lets drum up some interest" stage or pre-development. All the cgi bits of the video are just placed videos to demonstrate the potential of the idea....... so no, we haven't gone too far........yet :D
