I'd imagine the vest would just vibrate abit with a JDAM, and yes it is going to be expensive, but who here doesn't know someone who has spent £1,000 on a PC over the last 2 years? with the future moving on up, and less improvements in graphics able to be made as the days go by it will get cheaper and cheaper yet. (maybe in 3 years we still use todays £300 graphics cards, who knows?)
the VR system is still experimental and not totally immersive, but we dont need true to life graphics and sound just yet do we? and yes i agree, jumping and climbing is going to induce pain with the treadmills. so improvements are definately needed. and flying would be very possible with the gloves (as would hand signals and driving) but i imagine we need to come up with a boot and someway of sitting down for it to work (i wouldn't want to sit down on a treadmill thanks). although i know we are not close yet, finding issues to work on bring is closer each day (mabe tomorrow someone invents the boot?).
in regards to the Viper XT, does the ejection seat work? lol, its awesome. but people have been building cockpits for their games for over 8 years now (the first being a racing game in 2000) although mostly for aesthetic feel for a game, it still counts towards VR products.
and yes i have sent an email to the cyber glove guys about other cyber products for arms legs neck and feet (some of which ARE in development) watch this space!
