You got it from me first:

You need Real Player to view it.... and shhhhh don't tell anyone

[flizmo007]

Wow.. That is really cool...

[nachzeher]

Holy hell...

[joeposh]

what the hell was that... anyone speak french?

[dmpolska]

This video is my thank you for those people that helped me pick out a pen here:

OMG

//edit: what is this a video about? I mean, my jaw's sitting here hanging open, and I'm not sure what the video is for.. Nintendo's new console or something?

[Ikohn4ever]

crazy

[evilmax17]

I saw this on joystiq, but RM makes me a sad panda

not really revolution info :(


They will provide the gyroscope tech. for N21... and if you listen closely enough, they mention Revolution a few times.

(ne vous inquiétez pas)

[Wshakspear]

....Nintendo 21...Yo Joe!

[RaekwonThaChef]

aaahhhh, its not working, even with that media player classic!!!!
What is it!?!?!??

[Wshakspear]

A man driving a car through a course...a course that is actually on a table in front of him, projected onto the TV with a camera, and he's driving a car around it...but the car actually interacts with the real objects, including being pushed by a moving door-thing and going behind objects as if it were there...amazing looking

[RaekwonThaChef]

dammit, am i gonna have to install real player on my computer? :(
this sounds so interesting

[Scorch]

aaahhhh, its not working, even with that media player classic!!!!
What is it!?!?!??

Uh, yeah it does. I watched it through MPC.

[Rig]

The OP's link isn't working for me... :(

[RaekwonThaChef]

alright downloaded RP, all I have to say is that that is simply amazing.

[Mr Durand Pierre]

I watched it, but it was all choppy and made little to no sense.

It seemed like a guy playing around with holograms, but really the whole thing was happening on his computer monitor and he was in a room much like the one screen, sans the holograms of course. Though I could be wrong.

Could someone do me and everyone else who couldn't get the video to work properly a favor and just write a description of what the hell that was?

[AdamInPlaidum]

I'll take TEN!

[Wshakspear]

What i already posted:

and to add to that, it more or less a VR object interacting with real life objects. Not a hologram, but more or less an eye toy mixed with motion sensors

[BLarR]

Awesome stuff, I wonder what a ball of flame would do in this situation though.

[Zman310]

Eh, it was alright. I'm torn between it looking pretty cool and looking pretty cheesy.

[Gothic Walrus]

If Nintendo's Revolution uses this technology, just think of the possibilities.

We could have some truly amazing games.

Besides...give it time. Everyone thought the DS would fail miserably when it was first announced; it hasn't quite done that. Let the Revolution have time to develop...

[Rig]

Why won't the link work for me!?! :cry:

[Chris in Cali]

That video just bored me, and had nothing to do with Nintendo, sorry. Although it would be cool playing Mario Kart while the karts zoomed around your living room.

[Zman310]

Why won't the link work for me!?! :cry:

Didn't work for me at first either, try right clicking the link and save target as to your hard drive, then try opening it from there. That's what got it to work for me.

Although it's not really worth all the trouble, IMO.

Still doesn't work...anyone else? :(

[David85]

Looks neat and fake at the same time.

This is new tech, and rumours have started that Nintendo is using old tech in a new way.

All of that is tech that has been around for years...and this would be using those in a new way. Digital cameras, motion sensors, a controller...all old tech

[2poor]

i know some french but im stuck on a dial up connection so i probably wont be able to watch it.

wont even load the video. stupid dial up.

(ne vous inquiétez pas)

Did they say Nintendo Revolution though? I could imagine him simply saying Revolution for multimedia in general, not necessarily for Nintendo's next system. Does anyone speak good good french on here?

[My Name Is BoB]

Time to get out my legos!

[guyver2077]

what the hell does that video have to do with nintendo??

[Nephets]

I concur. Pretty cool though.

[RAMSTORIA]

can anyone send this to me?

[dpatel]

I've always wondered what it would be like to have virtual reality gaming. Imagine Silent Hill or Resident Evil.

[RAMSTORIA]

i mean its cool, but i just dont see anything that screams nintendo, and that conference video makes me even more skeptical. plus that controller doesnt really look like a nintendo one, i suppose it could be. in any case it is pretty cool, but can someone explain why this would be tied to the revolution or 21 or whatever the hell you want to call it.

[MorPhiend]

This is awesome stuff. Remember that Nintendo was working on a new camera peripheral for the GCN? Or what about the perspective patent they filed a few weeks back? Oh, the possibilities... :bouncy:

[1SwtDeception]

I heard the word car a lot in that video. It's interesting, but damn if Nintendo really used something like that mmm I can't wait to see the final product.

IF...if this IS what nintendo is incorporating into the Revolution...well, they apparently have a damn good reason for calling it Revolution.

That video was amazing...

Yes. Yes it is. Of course, by simply putting a lightsabre in there it made my mind start working. hell, think of a an RTS where your own f'ing room is the battlefield. Imagine setting up the camera in the kitchen and having mario jump around the stove. Imagine being able to record your gameplay and make your own mini movies with special effects.

i am getting WAY too far ahead this point. Im going to go play my gamecube and just grin, though.

[help1]

Looks cool, but costly also... and how will this incorporate into games? I guess only time will tell.

[TJordan522]

I'm really really confused right now. Can someone explain this to me?

I think it's like this, but I'm sure I'm wrong so please correct me:
The guy holds a little device in his hand. On the TV screen, they can make it look like he is holding a flower, or a lightsaber. Now how can this be incorporated into the Revolution, and based on those 2 videos, why would anyone think they are related?

[epobirs]

This is the latest rendition of a kind of product that has been shown at Siggraph, NAB, and other trade events for over a decade. The application isn't remotely suitable for real-time games in an ad hoc environment. Every one of those objects on the table had to be tagged and the changes and 3D objects associated with them generated well in advance of the demo.

This has great potential for film and television production where it can be reasonable to invest hours and even days to get a few minutes of material if it would have taken longer or required more set building to achieve ohterwise. But there isn't really anything new there, just a lower price point. Virtual sets have becoem increasingly common since 'Babylon 5' pioneered their use for prime time production.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this to become a home game. The amount of equipment setup and software configuration needed for almost every use would make it an expensive game with a tiny audience.

That little device could be IN the controller, or a sperate device (thing light gun...an acc.) . It could be incorporated into the revolution by utilizing cameras or other media. As for being related to nintendo, they have made a copyright for a new visual something or another (love to explain, but still too damn early) and thier repeated comments of "a new way to play games". Also, and i like this one, it could be possible that someone "from the inside" has let the info about working with TI out, and instead of releasing insider info, just points people to those vids.

Weirder things have happened.

[AdamInPlaidum]

I really think this "new way to play games" thing could work out for Nintendo. If the new Gameboy launches around the same time as Revolution, everyone who just wants a standard system could go with the Gameboy, and everyone who wanted something new could get the Revolution, and everyone who is hopelessly in love with Nintendo and all their products (<---) could get both.

Because they use a gyroscopic controller... just like the Revolution.

LOL! I remember that commercial! Good stuff :D

[kaji7p56]

wow

[Moxio]

Pretty sweet stuff.

[David85]

Pretty sweet stuff.

Yeah that Nintendo won't be using.

[Cracka]

the only thing i saw that nintendo could possibly use would be the thing that the guy held in his hand that made it seem like he was holding a light saber on tv or something.

IMO it would be cool to play an rpg like that. where you personally swung to make the image on screen to swing.

What would be cool is if instead of a car, it being a person. And instead of looking at the person walking around the things on your table, you were looking through the eyes of the person walking around on the table. That would be nice.... once they figure out a way to do that, they've won me over.

The Xavix games are already doing this with a real object to hold in your hand.

How would adopting the POV of a simulated person in the tabletop landscpae be any different from games we already have in the FPS genre and others like King's Field?

because playing a halo type game with the level consisting of my bedroom would be badass, and the fact that things moving in my room could affect the players would also be badass...

like if my friend kills me in a game and pisses me off, i could throw a book where his player is standing and kill him... that would be awesome.

You can just join those geeks that do it in real life.

[arsenalgear]

I think there are three words we're looking for here:
Space.
Jam.
3D.

Imagine the possibilities.

Yeah, to see a good view of this go to:

http://www.t-immersion.com/
then click DFUSION > Marketing - Design > Car Design Video

You sse the guy tilting the controller about half way through the video.

[AnthonyRoundtree]

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!

Remember this patent Nintendo filed a few weeks ago....
the one that “prevents a fixation point from frequently moving.”

doesnt that seem an to fit all too well with this kind of technology?

check the pic....

its practically a DIAGRAM for some sort of.... god i dunno... tabletop Zelda/Tabletop Game/Video Game....

http://img225.exs.cx/img225/1589/revpatent8ns.jpg


whatta ya think?

[Dogpatch]

WOW

Very nice. If they do put that kind of technology in a videogame console, I hope they don't screw it up. Might be kind of cheesy if they don't handle it right.

[Eclipse]

*jaw drops*

[CouRageouS]

This is pretty cool. If they do use it they better incorporate some new type of power glove(s).

[Wshakspear]

This is pretty cool. If they do use it they better incorporate some new type of power glove(s).

Wizard 2: Electric Boogaloo

[CouRageouS]

They also need to use Monkey Ball or Katamari Damacy with this tech. That would be fucken awesome.
