Ultimate gaming experience
If you win Powerball you could get one of these!
The ultimate in video gaming has arrived – but at more than £15,000 it comes in a bit dearer than a PS3 or Xbox.
The VirtuSphere is like an oversized hamster’s exercise ball that immerses the user in a 3D virtual reality world.
Players don a motion-tracking headset to project the visuals and then they are ready to begin virtual exploration.
They can run, jump, roll, or crawl over virtually unlimited distances without encountering real world obstacles.
The large hollow sphere sits on rollers allowing it to rotate through 360 degrees and move freely in any direction – without actually going anywhere at all.
The Washington-based manufacturers describe it as the ultimate computer games peripheral, but say it could also be used as a unique exercise treadmill or for simulation exercises.
VirtuSphere has already been used by the Russian Tourism Authorities to let people walk through the Red Square and the Kremlin.

Man I have to get one of these they look awsome and I bet I could play for hours on end in one of those. So something for me to start saving for and I hope they will be sold to the public

I would totally get one.. But one thing I hate about it is the size. I wouldn’t be able to fit that into my bedroom! Or anywhere else!! And would they be able to be used in a wide-variety of games?? or just one genre?
But it would be awesome to have one of those! You could also get a workout from that.. Are you gonna get one Mrs Crowe?? Saves you time from going to the gym!
