I'd love to attend it too. It is The Augmented Reality Event, a conference about Virtual Reality and how to make it even more immersive for those experiencing it. Sure, it's mostly targeted at video games right now, but you know the government labs are taking that one step further.
In my writing about Hell using the VR suits, I've neglected the use of shoes. The Adidas shoe that's shown in the article gave me an idea, so TADA! Hell, you're going to have a shoe experience ;-).
It's always fun to do research and implement it into one's stories. With the concept of VR, I have to keep up a lot more than with other research because it's constantly expanding and I don't want Hell's and Jed's VR tech to fall behind current science!

"A shoe-controlled video game? That's a real shoe, made by Adidas and available now, which can be used as a video game controller for special games..."
I wonder what "shoe controlled games" you're going to have Hell and Jed playing???? Next stop, foot fetish?
Well, I wasn't thinking of a foot fetish, LOL. You know how, in fantasy games, the warrior leaps high or do something with their feet that's impossible in human time/ability? I was just thinking along THAT line!
I think it's more interesting to read about VRFJ (yep, came up with an acronym to go along with COMCEN, SITREP, etc). Guess what it means: Virtual Reality Foot Job!!
