Not sure this can be easily patented – some parts of the system possibly. But the US Army has VR gun trainers as well as countless other hobbyists including myself…

I heard Blizzard is interested in buying the rights from this guy. Cheers! He deserves it, it’ll be a hit I’m sure.

Irrespective of the patent bun-fight.

I need the answer to three simple questions.

1) Where can I get hold of at least two of these units (possible a lot more once evaluated in our lab) [wired or wireless] 2) how much do they cost 3) when can I get them.

Actually it’s pretty easy, you just have to be inventive in describing why your product is different from whatever the examiner of a patent may throw back at you, and state rather clearly why your invention is so novel.

If you go through a lawyer it will cost quite a bit, so be certain the idea will be picked up once you are done.

You can always just do the patent yourself and correct mistakes the examiner may throw at you. This may be a mistake though when you try to create your claims. you can always write the patent, the seek clarification from a patent lawyer (expect $2k to $3k fee). Don’t forget the filing fee too.

your alternative would be to seek out a backer who would like to use your technology (invention) and perhaps patent it for you (with you as the inventor and them as the assignee). Microsoft may indeed be interested in the invention.

you can patent something if the bits that went into it were not of your own creation. do you think the people that made a plastic spoon with a serrated edge and a scoop invented plastic? They just took the inventive step of combining a spoon and a knife and putting them together in a given way.

You can even patent the method of using a projector on the end of a gun linked to a gaming console played in a darken round room. (Though not all countries easily accept method patents, but the US does).

In the US you have 1 year from disclosure to patent something. Many other countries allow this too. The EU does not, but no-one would make something exclusively for the EU and not want to see it in the US; even if they had to pay a license fee.
