The popularity of MMO games in the last few years has created a whole new market of gaming mice and other accessories to help players really get into the game.

Welcome to the age of the jDome, a system with a semi-transparent dome that enables a gamer to be immersed in their game. Images are projected onto the jDome, so that the viewer can see a 180-degree view of their player character.

The jDome has been patented by John Nilsson, and he is developing the concept with an estimated cost of about $125-200. I have no idea when he intends to put it out on the market, but we'll see if he succeeds.

This will mainly be used in household video games, but could easily be introduced into casino gaming as well.

The iDome does the same thing but higher quality and no distortion.

Of course it's somewhat more expense .... still just one projector.
