Almost all predictions about gaming things like this have been proved wrong, the only one which looks likely to succeed is the Occulous Rift.
How can you say that Mike? Look where gaming is heading now and has been for the past few years.
Maybe not for the PC generation which will most likely still be mouse and keyboard in the next 5 million years but a lot of the gaming industry have been trying to push more active gaming methods such as the success of the wii. There is no doubt that something like this would succeed if worked on by some large company with the funds and time to perfect it into something we could easily use in our living rooms. Also don't forget giants like Valve are behind backing the rift.
You couldn't imagine having a dance floor in your house but what of those dance mats, kids went crazy for those back in the days but now it's all controlled by a small sensor on top of the tv. Gaming is advancing pretty quick now, there is no knowing what can be made with the right people behind it. People bashed the rift with the dev build yet now its 'great', thanks gaben.
Anyway this exact contraption probably won't get anywhere but it does show that there is a possibility to create something that could be the next thing everyone wants.
