Avatar 2 direct to brain interface

[NativeSon]

When we go to watch Avatar2, we will be given a headset that will fit completely over our heads, but with open viewing in front of the eyes.
There will be 3D glasses in the helmet, but they will be active, not the passive ones we got at Imax for Avatar.
These new glasses will connect to the computer that is running the movie using a wireless link.

There will also be EEG sensors in the helmet, which need to be attached to the skin of the skull at certain points. This will allow the movie to interface directly with your brain by sending signals that will stimulate the various parts of the brain.

What we should get from all of this is a total immersion into the movie. We won't be watching the movie anymore, but we will be playing parts in the movie.
I don't know to what extent this viewer participation will be, but I think it could be possible for multiple scenes where the audience affects the outcome of the story.

Of course, all of this technology is expensive, so don't expect a ticket to cost any less than $100, which would be cheap, considering what Broadway show tickets cost today.

When we leave a viewing as I described of Avatar2, we will not be the same. Our personalities will change.

I am looking forward to this experience, even if it blows my brain out through a black hole to be lost in space forever. Maybe if I get lucky, I will be thrown onto Pandora, into the waiting arms of Neytiri.

Four years we have to wait for this? I hope I can.
In the mean time, I am going to upgrade my rig so that I can see stereoscopic 3D and keep up with the heavy processor power that these 3D videos and games will require.

OK. Got to go now. My transport is ready to take me to Pandora now.

Nativeson... leaving the planet Earth ...

P.s. I hope my driver knows where he's going this time. Last time, I ended up on the South Col of Mount Everest. I was supposed to be climbing to the summit at 02:00 morning next. I may still end up there, but at least if I can have a night with Neytiri on Pandora, I will have something warm and fuzzy to think about while up there at 29,035 ft.

Who knows, with the way technology and society move, in just 4 years, the world will be a whole different place. But still, even if the technology could be brought to fruition, I imagine that either the prices will be ridiculous or the setting to watch movies will be a different medium than a theatre, possibly anywhere with the portability of the helmet. Imagine boring plane flights with a helmet like that...

I wouldn't try it. Hell, even with our current tech I find movies much more immersive in 2D, as long as they are blu-ray/DVD/theater quality I'm happy.

But that's just me. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one with this opinion.

James Cameron, just give me my gorram holodeck already.

screw the headset they need to put you in a device like jake is in when he controld the avatar, expet you do not control it but you do feel everything it does

Karyu, do you think you can run this movie?



Well...................................... you can't.

[Human No More]

I'm not attaching anything to my skull.
Other than that, I like the idea.

Or something like a link, as Malu tek tek said. That would be ideal, really give you immersion in the world.

I've been writing about this particular subject for over five years, and while what I have written is fiction, the original purpose for this 'assistance' was what is called 'a wearable intensive care environment', one which is intended to help/assist ill and or injured people to function as well as they could. An example would be for Jake to have what is called 'full alteration', which would not merely Fix his spinal cord injury, but would fix a great deal more that is 'wrong' with him. He would literally 'grow a brain' due to the 'more than a million' neural interface points within his brain, and the head-jack / jacks would permit him to do a great deal more than he was able prior to his injury. Also, it would ensure his survival regarding Anything short of a direct hit from a large artillery shell. "GAU-90' size rounds would not count. I'm speaking of something that would blow him to atoms, like a shell from a 155 mm gun detonating next to him.

I would pee my pants if Neyney jumped off those branches onto the leaves again.
