.Hack//Sign, their real life counterparts and how they interact

[Gunblade]

*DVD 4 Spoiler*




Just finished DVD 4... Seen a peice of what BT and Suburu are like...

To be honest BT doesn't exactly look like someone who would be lonely, but then I don't see her eyes.

Suburu, well it was rather unexpected but I'm starting to feel sorry for her :/

I'm starting to worry what the other characters are gonna be like ¬_¬

Would be good to see more of the real life story but anyway...

With Suburu I see her crying now she's apparently crying into Tsukasa's arms now the next it's over thew monitor in RL, which brings into the question, does it really make a difference?

Do they feel anything in the world? Are they actually IN the world or are we, as the viewer, just seeing a game being played out like they were full VR characters.

How do they walk? How do they fight?
They sure as hell don't move their legs that's a given, they can't swing their arms like madmen. Since it's a vr helmet the only possibility is that it reads and transmit's into the people's minds.
Though that can't be it, that's to far fetched.

It's going round my head now...

Oh and I still feel sorry for the Suburu character, was rather sad :p

Ok dude , you need to pay closer attention :D It's repeated throughout the series that Tsukasa is the only one who actually can feel pain and other things, that's what makes one of the biggest mysteries. As for the rest of the questions, what we see is a mmorpg (mass multiplayer online role playing game) and the various players in it. And I think the VR helmet is only providing visual effects, and that you still have to use things like keyboards, joysticks and mouse to chat and control.

I meant do they feel anything, even a small sense of touch... From what we view it looks as if they are COMPLETELY immersed into the world as if they were in it, thus the helmet... I just wonder how far it foes. After all Suburu hugs into Tsukasa, other things like how do they fight? Sit? lean against a tree? hand movements... Etc etc... What i'm saying is with all the possible combonations it seems that a keyboard and mouse mioght be a bit touch much to handle. That and I don't think there would be enough buttons anyway :p

And wouldn;t they use a mic for voice?

Also it sorts of destroys the entite "hugging" thing :p

[Kyrakasa]

I think in Hack//sign though the technology isn't that far further... but they do use VR helmets(close proximity to the brain), and touching is a sensation that's controlled by electrical impulses... Perhaps you're right... but I don't know...

The technology we have is too far behind...


In the Real world now, that I've used for Everquest...

A Microsoft earphones and microphone... with Voice Recognition...

But that's only for easy access to commands... Like I can tell it to bring up a screen or cast a particular spell, while I'm still typing a message to my friends...
