Those who participate in the demonstration are able to scan their bodies, which are then be rendered as 3D avatars for the demonstration. Users are then able to manipulate their in-game avatar using a variety of hardware, including an Oculus Rift (Developer Kit 2) for head-tracking and VR visuals, Leap Motion and Ovrvision for hand manipulation, a Microsoft Kinect 2 for body movement, and special footwear to detect foot movement. The hardware is labeled "Nervegear Prototype." "Nervegear" is the name of the virtual reality hardware used by the characters in the original Sword Art Online story to interact with the game.

My friend recently mentioned this. He's obsessed with VR. He is coder and likes to make his own games, and love love loves being a part of Betas. He was raging on about pre-alpha EVE: Valkyrie which he is very excited about. His involvement in a lot of the VR stuff has helped fixed bugs and landed him some free tech.

 

Oculus Rift I'm told comes out this coming Monday.

 

I, personally, don't see the appeal.

 

You a big fan of VR?
