If you thought the Oculus Rift and Sony Morpheus were awesome, wait until you see the work being done with The Void.

The ambitious goal is slated to be “The Future of Entertainment”, only limited by the imagination. A bold claim, but a deeper look at what the project is proposing and you can quickly start to see that there might be some validity to it. Using proprietary ‘Rapture’ gear, The Void promises the most immersive hands-on experience with their gaming environment. The gear is pretty tech-heavy, featuring a headset with dual, curved OLED 1080p displays, high-quality THX headphones, and super-gain inline microphones as a base with otherwise mysterious ‘Quantum Dots’ and ‘Custom Optics’ features. The light-weight vest apparently features body tracking for their customized environment as well as four types of haptic feedback to provide the user the ability to feel everything that they can interact within the game. Combined with specialized gloves, the team promises “unprecedented level of immersion” with the ability to not only interact with in-game objects but actually see your hands through the virtual display.

The concept goes even further than that, however, with specialized ‘VOID Game Pods’ that provide physical changes to the experience including (but certainly not limited to) air temperature and moisture with simulated smells. Beyond that, they even have custom motion simulators that can seat two people for experiences like aerial dogfights and mech battles. This article only scratches the surface, so if you’re interested in seeing the crazy ambitious proposal that “The Void” offers, you can check it out at their main website right here.
