Well it seems that a few years in the future we may lose about fifty percent of our gaming population if it turns out to be completely true.

"IBM Japan has announced Sword Art Online: The Beginning, a virtual reality project that aims to realize the world of the popular Sword Art Online light novel series.

Rather than use a controller, the game will be played by moving your body. Reki Kawahara, creator of the Sword Art Online series, calls it “completely different from any game experience so far.”

The project uses a a next-generation computing system called the “Cognitive System” that supports human decision-making, as well as “SoftLayer,” IBM’s high performance cloud system that produces the ambiance of a real world."


Personally if it turns out to be true, I won't care, I'll be buying an occulus rift well in advance.

A few other sites are reporting it, but I wouldn't get my hopes too much up until more information comes out about it.
