Is "a robot that hits you" born? VR and robot are fused.

It’s been several years since many VR goggles were released by various manufacturers, and VR games are within our reach.
A VR experience facility has also been constructed, and the vehicle moves and the wind blows according to the movement in the VR image, adding a feeling other than vision to make you feel more real and immersive, so feel free to experience extraordinary. You can taste it.

Meanwhile, former toy designer James Bruton has released a large boxing robot and a VR game linked to it on his YouTube channel. The word
“boxing robot” has already had a big impact, but this also invites a surreal laugh with high practicality and perfection.

As you can see in the video, this robot is handmade by James Bruton.
The legs and bases are finished by cutting out wooden boards and attaching various motors and computers.

It’s a rugged design, but since the player is in a virtual space, this is probably more than practical.
The movement of the boxing robot is linked to the VR space using the Vive tracker , and a part of the code is being linked on GitHub.

Overseas media have also introduced this robot as an “interesting concept,” but what impresses me is that the robot will hit you.
In the comment section of Youtube, a lot of positive comments and unique comments gathered, saying, “This is the coolest project in the topic of robots these days.” “If AI is installed in this, the earth will be uniformed.” ing.

These “things that link the VR space and the real world to enhance the immersive feeling” are being built as entertainment facilities concentrated in urban areas, and VR experience facilities are also pleasing to users in Japan.

The evolution of VR is not limited to video

Each company is developing VR with a view to stimulating the five senses, not just the evolution of video.
Recently announced, there is something called “Feelreal” that can also appeal to the sense of smell, and the target amount was achieved in just one hour with the crowdfunding Kickstater, and after one day, the target of 4 Raised twice as much money.
In other words, it has a high degree of attention.

I would like to keep an eye on how VR technology will evolve in the future with a feel other than vision.
