This Immersive Virtual Reality Cocoon Has A 360 Degree Display
The Immersive Cocoon, or i-Cocoon for short, has 360 degree surround video capabilities. Add that to it’s 3d surround sound as the audio-visual experience provided by the i-Cocoon completely envelops you, creating very realistic virtual environments.
It has a 3D motion tracking system which senses arm, hand and leg movements using a series of motion tracking cameras inside the Cocoon. Monitoring your movements using this system allows you to “fight in a Kung Fu game or swim through a sea of jellyfish, with the display responding in real time and surround vision. The system was developed my a former researcher at MIT and it was the inspiration for the futuristic computer shown in Steven Spielberg’s “Minority Report.”
The i-Cocoon offers a ground breaking new way to think about home entertainment and the way we use computers. Imagine the endless possibilities of i-Cocoon capable games, with stunning 360 degree game play.
