Russian physicists Ray Latypov and Nurella Latypov have been developing their prototype 'human hamster-ball' since the mid 1990's. It essentially serves as a multi-directional treadmill that a computer can track and move your onscreen character accordingly. Coupled with a head-mounted monitor and a radar system derived from Doppler Radar to track where the player is looking and therefore aiming in a virtual world.
Is this the future of gaming? It's a long way off, but I hope so.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
nah but seriously it looks cool for like an arcade or whatever, i bet it would do very well there, i want a go in it lmao... tho i could see you getting knackered quick lol, interesting tho for sure.
Once they start mass producing these babies, America's weight problems will be over.
Sigh, I hate seeing people get news coverage for something that's already been shown off by other companies tons of times over the past like 15 years.
Great.. now they just need to find a way to shrink that enormous ball because thats gonna take a LOT of space..
Microsoft's new hardware is a type of treadmill that will allow players to move in any direction...
