Maybe the Kick Ass Kung-Fu immersive game system is the best reason to get up and visit the Wired Nextfest in Chicago this weekend.

QuenteCafe has spotted it at the show. The system consists of two projection screens placed opposite to each other. The player is captured via a video camera and inserted into the virtual world. Judging from the demo videos on the Kick-Ass Kung-Fu site, I would say this is the most advanced video immersion system I have seen so far. It is extremely fast. The Kick Ass Kung-Fu system has been created by Finish Animaatiokone Industries.


Video immersion systems have been pioneered by Myron Krueger already in 1988.
