What would make this better, get a huge, semi-circular, widescreen OLED and this for input, could you imagine the awesome experience of playing a first person shooter with that setup? Ahh, the possibilities are endless. Now if only they could send information back to the brain, they could have a "true" virtual reality device, only requiring a brain implant, but I'm ok with that....

i belive it was 96 rods inserted into the brains of the monkeys to probe their brain stuffs... I think I will wait for the technology to be around for a good while before I let someone implant rods in my head :) I can't wait untill computers work like the matrix, I would sell all my stuff and buy 100 years worth of computer time :D
