Plus the quality of the images is neglible. They may even be crappy, and how do you take screenshots of somthing that is in your head!?

Possabilities are that it may be a hoax.

Or it might not. Maybe it won't create images as of yet, but I see a good chance of it being able to reproduce smells. It will only be a while before it can actually create images.

Even if images are created, the quality will be very blurry and poor. The mind has to go through many filtering processes to produce what you see, if it is beamed directly, which is unlikely to be done, it will still be among the most horrid quality. And your head has no focus or tone modifiers. Think on that for a while.

Smells would be stimulateing the receptors inside the nose, but I doubt you guys would want to have wires up your nose would you? Especially with the mucus and booger buildup.

So in truth this bay be a big hoax, a cleverly crafted joke. Such technology does not and might not ever exist at our slow rate of technological growth. Heck, we still have no alternative fuels, our toys still have the scratchy voiceboxes or are made of simple plastics and we still have handheld games that are no more than black non-colored images imbedded like a calculator screen.

Note: No matter how much I search, there is nothing about this on Sony's official website... funny.

Warxe: I think someone said something about Sony patenting the PS9, but I can't find anything about that in the US or Japanse patent offices.

Another oddity.

Df, you need to get out a bit more...er...get in a bit more...>.>

Sona did a fake commercial for "PS9" that was really advertising for PS2.

If you look at it as atomic structures. I believe however that we are vibrating evergy. But that's another discussion.

Many people have no idea what electric impulses can do to a brain. With messages (kill the president) encoded in a low-frequency microwave and pinpointed into the brain, or, as I have read in some advanced models anywhere on the body, your brain would recieve that message. This is old news however, I'm sure they've deveolped ways to not only talk to you, but to send impulses that compell you to do what you're told.

Well its not a hoax, its been posted at many trusted news sites such as cnn.com. Its only in the idea stage though of production though.

It won't put images in your brain really like a 1024 x 768 projection, it'll be more like you're actually in a differant environment. And images aren't the only sences you could recieve either.

Anyway, I'm all for this, maybe in 50 years when it comes out, I'll buy one. I'll wait 5 years or so to see if it has any problems first :p

And CNN has been always trusted? It's news for goodness sake, they would say anything to get interest of all sides.

 

Anyway, I'm all for this

I'm against it except for the helping the blind part. Why? Think about it, your the monitor, directly to the brain, seizures are a risk and there are numerable effects it could have on variable people. You keep to your technology fantasies, but maybe we should actually know our limits and be happy for what we've got rather than praising what is still questionable without actually knowing what it does.

Additionally it could be one of the biggest hoaxes out there, there is no OFFICIAL record, thus the transaction may have never happened. All I see is posts of forums and a few mentions, nothing more.

In any case, a good quality TV and sound system is all I need, be happy with what you got, ungrateful kids these days...  :p

Advantages:

-No need to buy a monitor.
-May help the blind and those with bad eyesight.

Disadvantages:

-Quality will fluxuate, may be blurry, mirrored, or overall screwed up
-Can't take screenshots
-The ability to look away will not work
-Your head has no adjustments like a monitor does
-You can't see the controller, and if you control with hands how do you perform the funny cheats like BIG HEAD MODE!?
-Might lose interest over short time
-Will cost alot
-Functionability would most likely not work 100%
-How can you see stuff around you? Your physically vulnerable! Easy prey for robbers and serial killers.
-Spam evolution
-Mostly science-fiction based

Just too add to what DF said...



Advantages:

-No need to buy a monitor. - Well that's great, I mean, Most people who could afford one of these WOULD ALREADY HAVE A TV.

-May help the blind and those with bad eyesight. - Ok, That's alright, I suppose...

Disadvantages:

-Quality will fluxuate, may be blurry, mirrored, or overall screwed up - You'ed be better off watching an old black &white TV with this (|  |) size screen.

-Can't take screenshots - Yeh.

-The ability to look away will not work - Yeh, that's a point, you couldent have a group of friends all crouded round a TV playing a game, Cus it woudlent work.

-Your head has no adjustments like a monitor does - Heehe, I could imagion someone trying to find the right place to stand in his house, trying to get a better signel. X.x

-You can't see the controller, and if you control with hands how do you perform the funny cheats like BIG HEAD MODE!? - Dude, If it was on the PS2 controlers I never look at the anyways, i mean, most people can play without looking at the controlers at all. I know I can.

-Might lose interest over short time - True. You'ed have to play on your own which would be boring.

-Will cost alot - Way too much.

-Functionability would most likely not work 100% -Exactualy.

-How can you see stuff around you? Your physically vulnerable! Easy prey for robbers and serial killers. - Dude, I have 4 BROTHERS! I'ed be dead F'sure.

It would be pretty weird if you play a game where the main character isn't human, like Spyro the Dragon...

"I'm gonna play Spyro now." *turns on game* *FWOOSH* "OW, MY BONE STRUCTURE!!"

[Darkfox]

XD LOL!!

"AGHH!! MY DNA!!"

[charaman]

[Hell Angel]

Or a Grand Theft Auto, or Burnout: Get into a serious car accident... Heh...
