The upcoming VRMMO project will be demonstrated in an IBM Japan that will take place on March 18 through March 20, where they’ll scan participants to recreate their 3D models as their avatars, and it’ll be used to check out the virtual reality atmosphere of Sword Art Online: The Beginning.

As previously detailed, Sword Art Online: The Beginning Sponsored by IBM will not use a controller, but it’ll be controlled by moving your own body. “Something completely foreign from any other video game experience,” and “by getting to experience being chased by a monster, I hope people will wonder more about the future of virtual reality gaming,” were some quotes shared by Reki Kawahara after trying out a trial build of the project.

 

Out of the 100,000 registrants, 208 will get to test it out this weekend at the event. We’ll likely get more details and reports from the events by then.
