A Virtual Floor

Back in the day, I remember attending the inaugural NAAUG (now known as AUGI) meeting in San Jose.  I stood in line for hours waiting for my chance to experience a demonstration of virtual reality.  Although it wasn't much by today's standards, the experience convinced me the Virtual Reality (VR) was on the fast track to becoming mainstream.

OK, perhaps I was a bit hasty.

But today, Joe Beda pointed out a new virtual floor technology called CirculaFloor.  I'd suggest you watch the video in order to fully appreciate the accomplishment.

As impressive as it is though, it'll take on a whole new degree of impressiveness to me when I can see Barry Sanders strap on a headset and dodge a virtual representation of the 1965 Green Bay Packer defense while running on a future, more responsive version of CirculaFloor...

My guess is that if and when Barry does that he will fare even worse than he did on New Years Eve, 1994 when he rushed for the grand total of -1 yard during the Wild Card Playoff Game.

Perhaps, but I specifically didn't choose one of the Holmgren/Infante era defenses because with the exception of the game you mention, Barry had their number. Besides, I've already seen Barry against them. But seeing Barry against a snarling-faced Ray Nitschke and Willie Davis would be something special.
