2. Until recently the only way to have a realistic fight with out damaging your friends was to rap them in bubble rap and lay into them with metal rods.

3. So due to the obvious problems with this (such as bladder control) the games consol was invented This, however lacks the same physical feelings as the traditional method of bubble rap fighting.

4. So “the industry” brought us into the realm of Virtual reality. But as we all know putting on a pair of goggles, and having a computer reconstruct a matrix in which we react. Visually doesn’t work, because of the complexity at which our brain’s work the most we manage to get out of the experience is sea sickness. Arguably, the most important sense the human body has is ‘feeling’. Which is not present in these systems. So are they really taking us into a virtual reality??

5. Using existing technology of muscle manipulation used in “muscle toners” it is possible to to have the simulation of pressure. By incorporating this into the lining of a rubber suit then supplying a voltage to localised areas using metal wires within the suit. Pressure, there for feeling would be induced. Sensors with in the suit would send information to an infer-red transmitter built into the soul of the shoe; which would re-lay information to an external cpu. This would also be used to receive information from the cpu to induce pressure.

6. Laser technology.

7. Sophistication of computer programming. And advancements in A.I.

8. In virtual reality you fought a player in his world. With this technology he will fight in yours.
