  A device which allows the blind to see and enables the deaf to hear? Now that's something! Far more important than virtual games. I hope they can really manage to come up with something like this in the near future.
  
  This article this is based on is from 2005 but this one seems to bring in some fresh information, and it is a worth reading it anyway. First time I hear about this.

    Agreed. Now this device is getting somewhere! And this is also my first time hearing this. Hopefully other companies will do something like this in the future, just like you said.

  Does this also apply to Video games, cause that would mean no one else can have it in there games.

  I think the final paragraph explains they are only doing that thing that some small jackass companies do where they copyright something they are far from underway with yet and are aware someone else could do at some point. That way they can sue.
  
  Fortunatly their are bound to be other ways they did not copy right. However if Sony actually do go ahead and design such things to help they blind and deaf, then it will be quite a respectable feat.
  
  Before you give me a thumbs down just picture a random small company doing this. There practically the same thing just with a company we all have preformed opinions on.

  I didn't think of that black doom but I think your quite right, well at least what your saying does make sense that they just wanted to copyright it early on to stop others copying.

  Wow impressive indeed.
  If they could actually make the blind see, and the deaf hear, that would make them the richest in the world i guess.
  And it could be used for virtual gaming too... but how...?

  Sounds good and bad to me. I just can't help getting a bad vibe from "virtual technology," considering all the other things you can do to people with it.

  Yeah, there would be a number of safety considerations...a number of people probably won't be able to use it, due to medical reasons...
  
  But if they could get it to work for the public at large, it would be the next step towards more immersive gaming experiences...
  
  LOL, and imagine 'pleasure' games >_> By the time the this technology comes to use with games, there will probably be more 18+ games out...
