If you want to see sisomo in action in its purest form of sight, sound and motion on screen, take a look at the video game Guitar Hero. But first a question. Why are we still calling these things video games? Seems to me that none of them use video – and even the idea of “video” has that decrepit smell of “radio with pictures”. I know there’s always an and/and phase when technologies shift, and we use automobiles and carts, sailing ships and steamers, GPS and maps, but surely it’s now time for video to push off and give way to a more useful idea like sisomo. Now that’s clear, let’s get back to being Guitar Heroes.
To watch an expert Guitar Hero is to see the future of sisomo. An enveloping virtual world, a totally interactive experience and an experience to set the heart on fire. Hold onto your Gibsons. It’s going to be one hell of a ride.
