GTA IV with Oculus Rift and the Cyberith Virtualizer is next-gen

[mgsstar]

 

Here I am thinking my Oculus Rift is all I need, but then I see this new Cyberith Virtualizer playing Grand Theft Auto IV in virtual reality, mixed with the Nintendo Wii remote, and I'm getting excited about the true, next generation of gaming.

You need to see the video to understand what is being done, but in a written nutshell, Cybertith's Virtualizer is similar to that of the Virtuix Omni, where it's a treadmill you stand on, and then you walk 'in' the game. Oculus Rift is used for the visual side of things, and the Wii remote from Nintendo is used for the motion controls.

This is pretty cool. But it would be pretty expensive to play using this imo.
