in the books and everything, how do they move like a real person in the game??? I dont see any VR system other then the googles, i dont see any cameras and i dont think they stand up at there terminal unless they are leaving for a second. So what do they do to move around like normal, if it is the keyboard then there has to be some very complicated controls on it right? just wondering.

um, it IS an MMORPG, they could type things like "/wink" to wink, or "/giggle" to laugh or something, alot of online games do that

It's just to make it look more realistic. I mean, imagine having to watch .hack//SIGN where all the characters do is stand with unmoving mouths.

i know i know but they didnt make it very realistic, i think they should have done something to make it seem realistic.

The headset has some sort of "built-in" microphone so that when you say sumthing in the real world, players can also hear it in "the Word". Though, you have to pronounce the words clearely if not, you'll end up meaning to say "computer" but your PC says "compooter"

well then how do they move, i just saw they had a conetroler but wouldnt it have to be very complicated to be able to move like they do in the game.

*Thinks this is accurate*

The headset has built-in sensors, too. They are used to monitor movements in the head (like, when you move your head, your character moves its head). The controller is used for body movement.

gamewiz, yes, it would be, but as it has been mentioned, just imagine an anime where it's EXACTLY like an actual MMORPG... Believe me, that would be one boring anime to look at (not to mention SIGN doesn't even have that much action to begin with; there are times when I find myself only listening to it and not actually watching it, but that's beyond the point).

In "The World", there are two types of communication, according to AI Buster; Text-Mode, where you do type, and where you speak through a built-in microphone in your headset (and those do exist, a few online games used them).

But there is always typing with one hand

Yes, Duskino. .hack//Sign is mostly talk and no action. I'd say 80% of it is talking and 20% is action.

I think this has been discussed in a few topics...

Anyways, the headsets are connected to your brain (according to those topics) After all, it would be pretty hard to create an engaging game if you were just a talking head

Hey, notice I said that theory was from another topic...

The emulated motions may not use brain impulses...
