Don't steal my idea, but one way to really make a useful 'copy' of your room to be navigated in the game is if the room is then perhaps used as your 'hub' or save point/main menu, and you can exit your virtual room through the copy of your door, and go straight out to the real game - for example in a GTA game.

Or maybe be able to jump out of your window and fly out with your powers in an Infamous kind of game.

That would be quite cool.

Something I been dreaming up for years.

Surely if you're in your room, you don't need a virtual copy of that to play in? What would you do?

i mean, use it as augmented reality inside virtual reality. How can i put this... hmm..

EDIT:
its like the "Virtual room" that in the novel "ready player one". But instead its completely different virtual room, that virtual room is the same as current room.

so you can do augmented reality instead this virtual room that you think as your real room.

EDIT2:
agh my brain not in sync with my words. im baffled myself. ignore me.

EDIT3:
@London-boy is awesome

They could make a MR game mixing your real room with the virtual world.

A game with one level

It would, but it could also lead to VR psychosis and people getting confused between the real world and the virtual, and jumping out of their windows to their death in an attempt to exit reality.

Other than that, the idea of a hub is very clever. The room itself only provides one very closed level for a game, which makes it pretty pointless IMO. But a go-to place, an in game hub, makes legitimate use of the same locale.

A game with one level

Just because it's using your room does't mean it will be limited to 1 level. If it's MR the world can keep changing around you.

continue the discussion to morpheus topic? hmm, now i wonder about that "in a bedroom with a girl" game that Sony showed weeks ago. Do they finally demo-ed that to public?
