Theyve already done this, and no one seemed to care. so they stopped. Actually they didnt entirely stop, there are still many on the market. But very few people use them.

Even Nintendo had the powerglove and a red-monochrome headset thing.

Well it has me wonder why game developers didn't pursue games in this direction. Perhaps the devices were(are?) too expensive.[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon41.gif[/img] Who wouldn't love to play a race car game, sports game, RPG game, or FPS game in a virtual reality. With some games the gloves would also provide better exercise then our current keyboards and mouse. The games being made don't seem to target VR technology instead they're made as being backwards compatible so even those without these devices can play.

Recently saw on television the Univ. of Arizona has setup a VR environment for training and testing their football players. Players wear body suits and perform exercises which can judge their performance and effectiveness on computers. The quarterback wears a VR headset for practicing gameplays.
