As a lifelong gamer, the evolution and extension of our senses within games truly excites me. As suggested by some of our research, I see the virtual and real worlds colliding and eventually becoming indistinguishable.

While new technologies and peripherals like the wearable surround headsets are cool and fresh today, I eventually see peripherals like these becoming obsolete. Eventually, these peripherals will be unnecessary as all we’ll need is our brains and a method of “plugging in” almost like the Matrix.

By using the brain, we won’t need tvs that emit smells, as an electrical impulse sent to the brain will have the same effect. Just like Will Wright states, games and computers are the ultimate extension of our imagination.
