You think you’ve got a good gaming setup, with your wimpy 65″ 1080p LED TV and Surround Sound setup? Think again, you’ve got nothing on the Ultimate Battlefield Simulator.

The Simulator uses a 360 screen setup to put you right in the middle of the action. It uses a Kinect to track your movements, and an actual gun for aiming. You walk on a 360 degree treadmill to move. If you get shot, 12 paintball guns are waiting to remind you to take cover next time.  Yeah, it’s pretty intense.

The Gadget show is doing a special on this monster on October 24th. In the meantime, you can check out the youtube preview:

Computer graphic pimps Nvidia, makers of all things GeForce, recently held their own little tradeshow dubbed “Nvision”. During the final hours of the event, Nvidia had some special guests take the stage to give a little visual presentation on how great graphics chips are. In order to demonstrate the advanced power that a GPU has over a regular ol’ CPU, Nvidia hired the Mythbusters guys. What resulted was some paintball-shooting robots and some typical Mythbusters over-the-toppedness that you just have to see. Video follows.
