This is great!

Soon this method will be implemented for cube dwelling office workers.

Employees will don helmets displaying a virtualized office environment including their computers and co-workers. The system will analyze work performance and reward employees with coffee sent through a tube located on the side of the helmet.

Omg I love Quake3 engine (never used 2). It was used in RTCW and RTCW:ET so, I think it's similar to Q2 engine.

 

[w4ffles]

I've always imagined a system like that for VR game play. I thought the mouse would be running through some sort of maze, not in circles.

 

[steiner666]

this is awesome! lol best article i've read here in a while. that'd be awesome if they had cheese pick-ups in place of weapons in the game lol. or if this mouse could go online and pwn some noobs.

Someone should tell the mouse to do /cg_noclip 1

 

[crom]

That mouse is better than some of the noobs I've played online before.

Oh, and this is ingenious.

They think this was stimulating to a mouse, had they only realized that had their test subject had nine other mice on the LAN, then they'd see some real brain activity.

The Lawnmoer man anyone?

 

[ssalim]

Amazing!
However, I feel sorry for the lab mouse... it must be thinking "oh where the fuck am I!"

 

[gorehound]

see gaming does do good things

 

[cookoy]

Quake is addictive. Even scientists can't stop thinking about it while at work. what did the mouse do to deserve that inhu-mouse treatment? haven't they proven research cause cancer in mice? add insanity to that.

Oh no...its bad enough we have illegal dog fighting rings all over the world, now we're going to have to worry about illegal Mice-Quake matches in covert LAN partys.

Dude! You better patent that idea! :lol:

Joking aside, some cool new tech.

 

[apache_lives]

the mouse needs monsters to run away from or atleast arm him with something like the BFG

 

[brains2200]

Jestern that is a great idea. Train a mouse to kick your friends mices butts in quake2. That great.

Time to patent and start ladder setup.
