I don't know if someone mentioned it earlier. I already wrote in thread about VR on SAO I discussion. Check it out http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=485229&show=100#msg32638973 for me it's the closest thing to NerveGear right now. VR may come sooner than we think and as Evaluator said I think it's achievable.

Absolutely fantastic, thanks!

Reminds me of a video I saw a few years ago when someone mentions the possibility of eventually using nanobots to redirect our senses to a VR. I'll see if I can find it again

EDIT: Here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrsQ4X0Y2jk From 2011, Ray Kurzweil. He gives it 25 years till we get nano bots able to redirect our senses to a VR, get our brains on the internet and the like. It's both amazing and scary

True VR will get here eventually, it's just time. We have two main issues I can think of,
1. The technology to redirect our senses to a VR, something like the oculus rift isn't true VR. True VR is something like the NerveGear/ AmuSphere from SAO. Where you control a VR body through your normal senses, just like your real body. Believe it or not, we'll get there, there's definitely going to be some ethical barriers to address first though. With every new technology, there's the good and the bad. There's the possibility technology like this could be exploited to harm individuals. Computer viruses specially developed for the nanobots, for example. but this is coming, just like how eventually we'll be able to upload and playback our memories, this technology is coming, it's just a matter of time and how we can protect ourselves from misuse.

2. The technology to process this information, Game graphics have gotten pretty good, but we haven't gotten to the Real life tier, you can still tell a game is a game, We need the power to process huge amounts of information, instead of just physics and graphics you get in a normal game, a VR system like the NerveGear/ AmuSphere would have to process all of our senses. Sight, touch, taste, smell. balance etc and it'd have to process this detail at a much higher detailed, and faster pace than regular games, no shortcuts as they'd be easily noticed. Quantum computing would definitely help in this aspect. It'd be interesting to see whether these nano bots could reduce the strain on hardware by pulling this information from our memories. The taste of berries for example, information that most of us would be able to recall.

I think if the tech companies really wanted to, they could make the technology similar to the one shown in SAO. we already have the motion sensor technology from kinect and the VR technology from occulus rift (some say it's crap, but hey, every technology starts somewhere right..?). it'd probably cost a ton to produce a technology that incorporates both though.

the biggest obstacle for making such technology is that the tech companies simply don't care about anime related stuff.

You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

Fix'd.

We could easily make a real .hack MMO with today's tech involving the Oculus Rift.

We're kinda far from utilizing brain-interface technology.

Even if it could be made what's the point of this thread? You can forget about anything even remotely close to nerve gear ever being commercialized if even produced.

A device that can intercept and nullify brain signals? That's basically a kill switch for humans... not to mention the other kinds of brain manipulating applications if signal falsification is possible...

Something like that has the UN and Human Rights violations written all over it. Sure there's serious medical applications especially with terminally ill patients but it ain't happening for the masses. Production wouldn't see the light of day and it ain't because of technological limitation. Stick to buttons and high-def monitors, Nerve-gear ain't coming anytime soon.

I doubt a perfect model can be created even after 10 years. Years of research and testing would be needed to see will a human withstand this technology and even if we could, how long can we last in a single sitting?

I wish we could get MMOs the way SAO and GGO sound and look. Even without Nerve gear, they would be fantastic. I doubt that we are limited in the ability to make them, the issue is money. Larger companies that could afford such a project like to stick to tried and true formulas for making the most cash with as little expenses as possible. Call of Duty is the prime example of such. Then there are all the small publishers that cant afford to stray to much away from what is expected. And when they do, they cant make well polished beautiful games that multi million dollar companies can. For the foreseeable future, SAO and GGO will only exist in our hearts and minds. But dream on, and maybe one day we will make it. (I personally believe that Nerve Gear will one day exist.)

The problem with this tech is that it isn't just video. It directly interfaces with the human brain. Instead of the brain seeing through your eyes, you see something else, you hear something else, etc. You're basically using the human brain as a "display" of some sort. We need to understand the human brain well before we can hope to do this. I'm gonna say 2050 at the earliest, but I wouldn't be surprised at it happening in my lifetime.

In the meantime though, video-based VR is going to get amazing. The level of immersion and tricks we can pull on the brain while still in the "real world" will be interesting to see.

This rings true as the brain is the organ we have the least info on in the medical field. We understand the functions of it, but not the process behind it. Basically, we know the "what" but not the "why".

Sony patented a brain manipulation technology a few year ago. So making a nerve gear is possible.

Nerver gear? To reach that stage we need that matrix nerve connection or GITS stuff for cyberbrain. Toaru universe have their own nervegear but used to operate hypersonic plane instead, and toaruverse is 70years ahead. matrix stuff require humanity to be conquerd by robots and GITS stuff require parallel world.

My guess is that we invent FTL drive first before we get nerve gear.

and btw anyone know total recall? or surrogate?

But yeah I'm still hopeful we can have Lifelight before I die :)
(google "Pendragon Lifelight" if you don't know wth I'm talking about)

Oh my god, I loved the Pendragon series! Used to be obsessed with those books, so happy you mentioned Lifelight. :)

I would really love to play a VRMMORPG. Like more than anything else in this world. I mean, to be in the world of a game? Absolutely amazing. I'd suspect though that it could cause a lot of social problems as well if mass-produced (huge increase in NEETS/hikikomoris, including me).
I suspect that it wouldn't start out multiplayer though, which is fine by me. Being in an FF game...just wow, that blows my mind away.

I hope I'll at least get the chance to try something like this before I die, even if it's not at ALO/GGO level.

I'd say definitely within the next 50 years, it isn't too complicated in terms of technology. We would probably have to install multiple nano-chips inside our brains in order to intercept any signal coming from or to the brain itself (except the ones required for the body to function).

Basically, both the brain and quantum computers (after their use has become widespread) are two types of machines that work differently. The nano-chip implants are a way of connecting the two, letting them work together in order to accomplish different tasks. Through that kind of technology, something like GGO should come on its own quickly enough.

I am not sure a lot of people would be willing to compromise their brain just to experience something that might be on the level of SA:O.

EX: installing nano-chips inside one's brain.

As I said before, VRRPGS are an immense distance away from us. While the Occulus Rift may be in development, as seen at AX 2014, that simply relays images from a screen to the eyes much in the same way we receive information from a TV. There is no connection to the brain to simulate taste, sight, smell, touch, and hearing.

To create a pseudo-world that is hosted from a server in the detail SAO attempts to replicate is to possess technology that is currently inexistent. There is development, according to a discussion hosted by TED Talks, in which the program responds to a person's desire, but we're far from mimicing Kirito's sword moves, dashes, jumps, etc.
