 :dizzy: Whoa...this is cool. Some "artists" turned a terminator pinball machine into a giant VR helmet.

I imagine that could give you a pretty massive headache. Also, I'd love to see the view of Jurassic Park pinball game when it slingshots the back on the Raptor shot.

No Tilt????  Needs shoulder pads or some way to hip check.  Very cool idea, but would be hard to explain how you lost an eye playing pinball...

That isn't what I would call true first person.  I was expecting something where you see from inside the ball sort of like American Gladiators.  That would make it pretty crazy.  I am surprised it hasn't been done on any japanese tv shows...

That video was horrible.  It was all shaky and I now have a headache.    Why did the video keep switching camera angles every 2 seconds .....  I was thinking it would be a video depicting what it would be like playing pinball behind the two main flippers. 

My head hurts now ....    :dizzy:  :dizzy:  :dizzy:

I had to bump this thread because this is such a unique thing and I just ran into it.
Plus I found an additional video, showing more details (in German however)

This just seems like a bad idea.  Pinball playfields were not designed to have your face directly behind the flippers, so you miss out on a lot of the view.  I guess that's why they had to hack in those little LCD screens so you could actually see what was going on.  I guess I don't see the point of this, but maybe I'm missing something.

That is without doubt the most pointless thing I've seen as a design concept. The damned thing is bigger than a pinball table and totally pointless.
