For Sony I would like for them to use the PS5 USB-C port to send out parts of games out into the real world through a small projector that points down at the floor. Example someone throw a grenade in a game & you can see it roll across your floor & have to kick it away & you can see the explosion in whichever corner of your room that you kick it into.

Nintendo I'm hoping a projector is built into their next handheld


Like this but smaller & cheaper

 

[Romulus]

Not only is VR superior with depth perception and actual real-world scale, but it's way cheaper. Easy pass.

 

[nush]

Kinect + a projector? That's a massive obvious win right there. I can't believe that Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo haven't already hired you.

It actually would be cheaper to have a USB-C projector for PS5 the processing would be happening on the PS5 the projector would be just projecting the image while some sensors track your interactions but this has nothing to do with being better than VR , VR is pretty much the end game this would be complementing TV/Handheld gaming.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

yeah I dont see this being a thing.

 

[baphomet]

A touch screen but with even less feedback.

Sounds terrible.

 

[Agent X]

I've seen games using this sort of technology at a local shopping mall a while back. One of the games was similar to Dance Dance Revolution, but with the cues projected directly onto the floor, instead of tapping on a mat.

There are some good uses of this technology for entertainment, but it's much better suited for an arcade or "family game center" setting, rather than in homes.

I think seen that game but I don't know where it had a ballerina

 

[onQ123]

I'm sure I posted that video years ago but that would require a projector setup behind the user or overhead I'm thinking more consumer friendly

 

[Crayon]

I'm sure it was a tough call between this and vr and the wireless butt plug.

 

[TexMex]

no thank you

 

[Cert.in.Death]

I’d rather a Nintendo Vitality Sensor clipped on to the end of my member.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Will stick to the superior VR.

 

[mrmustard]

A projector in a handheld? What could possibly happen? Kids blinding other kids?
Besides that, it's just a bad idea und would be another Wii U.

 

[Ar¢tos]

We have touchscreen screens (tablets/monitors, etc) , you know?

And is a projector going to increase immersion more than VR does?

 

[Rudius]

Just have the games support VR, You could even simulate a projector in it.

 

[RoadHazard]

This sounds awful, sorry.

 

[IDKFA]

Less immersion and no physical feedback.

Hard pass.

 

[ThaGuy]

I remember Nintendo had a accessory in development for the GameCube that was a projector screen of some sort that was going to be used for double dash I believe. So with that said, I'm sure Nintendo has been looking into it. They just need a low entry price as usual lol

 

[Fbh]

That sounds more like a gimmick that only few, if any, games would truly take advantage of.
Also it looks like it would only really work in a completely dark room because even in the marketing material it looks really washed out in a bright setting

 

[Musilla]

 

[acm2000]

cause VR isnt niche enough as it is?

 

[odhiex]

What we need is Holodeck…hologram is the future of AR/VR.

 

[Cohetedor]

I'm sure it was a tough call between this and vr and the wireless butt plug.

I'm curious why you had to specify 'wireless', wtf would a corded butt plug be for? Now I'm picturing someone playing their Switch naked with a cord coming out their ass tethered to a wall outlet.

 

[onQ123]

Subway Surfer / Temple Run type games could easily sell this no matter what short sighted people think.

 

[StueyDuck]

So basically an eyetoy/kinect but that projects instead of being on a screen

Sounds like a great idea /s

More powerful vibrations into your body or even small electric shocks!
But wireless allows your loved ones to send their love from anywhere in the world via phone directly into your body!

It would still be on a screen but parts of the game would be projected on the floor.

 

[Three]

You can just do this stuff in VR

 

[StueyDuck]

It's a glorified kinect at best with the gimmick being your hand will block the screen you are interacting with

Kinect didn't have visual feedback & how would your hand block it?

Once you go wireless there is no going back. That wire is a DEAL BREAKER.

You know how projections work?

 

[X-Wing]

They almost chose the butt plug. But then they thought "Let's just price VR2 high enough so that people will feel like they just had surprise buttsex".

Spoiler: no.

Just kidding. PSVR2 looks awesome and the price is more than fair for what they are offering.

 

[onQ123]

You know how projections work?

Yes & how would your hands block something that's pointed at the floor below your upper body?

The projector would be close to your console / TV pointed towards the floor

I find it hilarious that you post a video to prove a point yet the kids hand is literally blocking the projected image. It's like the most prominent thing in the thumb

The video was to show you a projector that aims at the floor you wouldn't be laying on the floor playing games on a TV

 

[Sleepwalker]

Nah im good

I genuinely don't know if you are just coked up right now and not knowing what you are typing

 

[The Alien]

Microsoft Illumiroom.

At least from a projector standpoint, less interactive more immersive. Looked really awesome...at least on their video doc. Ultimately it was dropped cuz it was too expensive for consumer market (iirc).

I think it will be very expensive peripheral and will take a lot of time and resources to implement in the games. Not a bad idea but not sure if it works.

I'm drug & alcohol free & nothing I have said is indicating that I'm high.

Projectors are really cheap now & this wouldn't need a high end projector because the main screen would be your TV

 

[Crayon]

Oh. You need help brainstorming, then. So if i'm understanding correctly, this not completely unlike the concept of the wii-u game pad? Like a companion display with input?

 

[BootsLoader]

But how a low end projector will intergrade with a high end game? Can’t imagine playing God of War with a low end projector, it will ruin the game.
