This is just freaking cool. Check out the video. My favorite part is the "Next up the company plans to manufacture a device called the iPlane, which will not only allow you to walk and run wherever you want, but fly as well, which should make future iterations of Doom really, really interesting," part. Now that would be worth the price of admission.

THat would be one way to lose a lot of weight. I can see the headlines now, "Gamer loses 200 lbs. playing video game." Or more accurately, "Gamer dies playing VR game after running for three hours to through virtual wilderness."
