Is it true Sony has been experimenting with Total Immersion virtual reality?

I've heard a Sony tried an experimental helemet on a Teenager in Tennese It was successful but and was supposed to go in a dream-like state but when he was unconscious he was in a test game and had a seziure. During his sezuire he was begging not be killed. When they turned off rumor has it the game was too realistic and intense and he ended up getting severe brain damage. This test happened back in 2005. And back in 2005 Sony announced a patent on stimulating the Neural Cortex with low pulses of ultrasound creating a sensory experience. And rumor has it that they understand the brain a lot better and they're ready to experiment again. Have you heard anything like this or simialar to this, or heard of the same experiment, or helped in the experiment some way? PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTIONIs it true Sony has been experimenting with Total Immersion virtual reality?
Yes, I've seen it in a magazine. The virtual reality tools used reminded me of .hack. I'll bet its pretty bad for your eyes.Is it true Sony has been experimenting with Total Immersion virtual reality?
No I haven't heard anything like this, and a my several googles came up with nothing except some racing game called total immersion for the ps2.





They can't create real virtual reality, technology hasn't gotten that far. The only thing similar to it would be those goggle-like things you can use on certain PC games such as Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. Basically all it does it put the screen on your head and wraps it around your perhipherial vision so it seems you're in the game, the headset is similar to the Wii remote because it has movement sensors, so when you turn your head right in real life, your character looks that way in the game. Quite simple, and definitely dosen't involve a mental conversion and dream-like states.





Sounds like you read Pendragon: The reality bug ^_^
Interesting story. What is your source. Did you actually read it somewhere, or someone told you. I can imagine many test involving brain signals, though no one has successfully demonstrated anything yet. Remember, these are technologies with many path to failure and since they can harm human will need to go through a long list of government checks and need to be approved before they can be released to public. Those companies who follow it, usually do so to cure diseases. A company making a product such as this (with potential damage to a human brain) only for entertainment purposes will be taking too much risk. Sony, is least likely to take another big risk, as they are already under a huge pressure due to PS3.





So I would say this is just a rumor and nothing more.
