I'm not a technology expert by any means, but how difficult would it be to develop a game in which the action (fishing, driving, biking)shows up on a monitor with the input/vibration device still in the gamer's hands? Something like this would IMO be so massive across the board that it would make what we've seen already look like small potatoes. The realism that could result would be astounding. Does technology to do this exist? Another idea. Suppose there was a helmet device that could be worn by the gamer, with the game varied based on which of the hand-helds the user was playing with. You could actually seem to be sitting at a blackjack table with other players, or see the pond or stream layed out before you, or the soccor field with other players, or actual NASCAR tracks and other "name" drivers to race against. Imagine the realism of sound in such a package. I'm just musing, but somehow, things like this don't really so so far-fetched anymore. I bought an Apple 20 years ago, and within weeks it seemed like a paltry system, and I had absolutely no clue then it would become the weapon (my friends call this office the "war room") it is today. Chaz.
