IBM Japan wants 208 people to come along to their office and test their 3-D avatars. Their main goal is to create a gaming environment as same as the anime Sword Art Online, where you fight your opponents not from boring iPhone apps, or controllers but actual real environment by moving your spiritual “mind.” Sound vague? But just a year ago I went to an Attack on Titian exhibition in Tokyo to experience their Oculus virtual world device, and it was speechlessly awesome. I could control my mind to look in a 360 atmosphere while charging forward with AoT characters, including Mikasa and Arumi, and only the body motion part was still undeveloped. But when that part is squared away, it is time for people to throw away their social life, simply because the dream world is many times more entertaining.

Maybe, besides the real-world death penalty in Sword Art Online The Beginning.
