Did anyone else see this:
http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/23/11...eality-mmo-ibm and immediately wonder if anyone from IBM actually WATCHED SAO at some point? This seems like a PR disaster just waiting to happen. I know that an Oculus won't fry your brain (at least I'm not aware of any way for a non-broken one to do so), but the first person that gets motion sickness and you can imagine the headlines from there...

Not really the right thread for this. That said, Japan has different societal values when it comes to health issues compared to the West. You're applying Western issues to that same thing. Doesn't really work.

To be honest, wasn't sure which SAO thread this would go in, so figured this was the most appropriate. Happy if the mods want to move elsewhere.

That said, I'm sure people from IBM have watched SAO, and don't see any issue. Potential health problems like motion sickness or bumping into stuff are things that would be true of any immersive VR. They are also fairly well known potential problems. No one is going to get much in the way of sensationalism out of them should they arise, and using SAO or making their own won't change that. |

Kawahara already tried it and from what we know that's a great experience
And seeing what IBM's using/promoting here is IBM Watson, their public could architecture, and their cognitive computing research project, with the story background laid about artificial intelligence, it's really quite unlikely for the project going to be centric around immersive technology, despite IBM will let audience taste their technological result via immersive way as seen from the fact that they're deploying full body control tools into the project |

Recently watched SAO, on wiki it says "Even though Kazuto had decided to go to school in America for the summer to pursue his mechatronics career, he asked Asuna to accompany him overseas, as he could not live without her, even if it was a very selfish desire. Asuna replied that her answer to that question was decided a long time ago." http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki.../Relationships
Does this happen in the anime? |
