The future of gaming is here, hop on in!

In America they managed to build the first sphere for gaming that actually makes you a part of the game. The globe is about four meters in diameter. When you stand inside you put on your game spectacles and put up your weapon. Than (now still from the outside by an external person) the game is started.
You are allowed to move freely through the space, look where you want. This adds a new dimension to the freedom of gaming. But how does it work?

The games' sphere is made up of pressure pads. These pressure pads are connected to make up the globe. The structure is so strong it stays round on itself, even with you inside. The globe is then put on four wheels which allow it to roll freely. The glasses and game controllers had moving and gravity sensors to indicate where you are and at what angle your looking or holding your controller. This systems works much like the Wii or Kinect system that is already available for purchase nowadays. The spheres can easily be connected to one another, so even big online games like World of Warcraft will not give any problems.

Just imagine being able to run inside, duck behind a wall in real life when you are playing Counterstrike.
This all sounds pretty good, but there is one obvious downside to all this...It will take up a whole room of your house. So you will literally have a game room in your house in the future.

But if you have to money, and have the room, then hop on in, in a few years...literally.
