    I was watching this silly video about a VR boxing game that looks cheesy and very indie-esque.

    But can you guys imagine how cool this would be with 5 years of refinement? I can see it being a very fun thing, but also a great training tool.

    Imagine being able to practice your technique on a virtual opponent where you don't have to take any real damage. Obviously it won't prepare you to feel an actual punch, but it will be a more precise tool to help your timing and technique.

    If you think about it VR just happens to be perfect for boxing.
