What is that :O

That is a dance game from Konami, mainly popular in Japan and in the States under the name "Dance Dance Revolution," or short "DDR." In Europe it was launched as "Dancing Stage," but with little success. For home use, often lousy, foldable dance mats were offered. Those are at best for beginners. Once you play on an advanced level, you can forget those things. First, you break them within 2 weeks, secondly they are frustratingly imprecise and flimsy and slip around. Therefore, I bought metal pads for it. They come closer to the arcade version (but still worlds apart) and you can play on higher difficulty levels. :)

Awesome! I'm already looking forward to setting up a nice old CRT in my basement room for my SNES. I don't have space for it now, and the SNES has already gathered a lot of dust. Kids' rooms will also be empty soon, and I will first set up a nice sterile VR room there.

Very cool, I don't have a VR system yet but it will come. I'm also currently setting up a retro game room upstairs (in another room). There stands SNES & Co. I still lack a CRT – but the space for it is already there. You usually get those for free nowadays. I would like a nice Sony Trinitron or something, with 50Hz. So I keep an eye out on classifieds. The dance game is not in the game room because of the space required. We turned the guest room into a sports room. There is dancing and my husband is setting up a small home gym. When guests come, we put the bed up, the dance pads go under the bed, the dumbbells etc. go in the corner, and voilà, you have a guest room, even with a TV. ;) That way we can use the room more sensibly. Keeping the guest room only for guests was too much wasted space for me. This way you can use the room properly on the 350 days a year when there are no overnight guests. My experience has also shown that dedicated guest rooms without other use often get filled with junk like a storage room. ^^

Very cool, I don’t have a VR system yet but it will come.

For legs and core, you have your dance game and for arms and upper body, Beatsaber in VR, and soon you’ll be falling half-dead into bed every evening and won’t need the fitness area at all. ;)

Yes, DDR is actually insanely exhausting at higher difficulty levels. I played it for the first time since the pregnancy yesterday, dear Lord, I'm out of shape. The best comparison is probably jumping rope. Later on there are very fast sequences of arrows and often two arrows on the same beat, meaning you have to jump, you can't manage that with just one foot anymore. :) On which platform is "Beats" available? Or what would you recommend? Rift or PS4 VR or something completely different? I once gave my ex an Oculus Rift for Christmas. The instructions said to take it slow if you're not used to it. He then played a space shooter with lots of loops for 30 minutes straight at first, afterwards he lay on the couch for an hour because he felt really nauseous. :D

Perhaps a new trend in home construction?

The virtual space counts – Homestaging in VR – at the push of a button, virtually a bay window with a lake panorama in the basement hole

Perhaps and could have their houses 3D scanned for the house building forum community ;-)

Another trend that Gene Roddenberry foresaw – although he called it the Holodeck. Very nice. If this comes to the market for private use, I'll have one installed too. :cool:;)

More likely a holosuite. More space-saving. Although I never understood what the disadvantage of that was. The settings were huge there too.
