Sword Art Online Thread. Is the Nerve Gear possible?

Well title says it all. If you don't know what a Nerve Gear/Amusphere is, Google it. Talk about it, chat about and post any VRMMO (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Game) related news.
-Balls
My will, as it were.
To Zek, get over the fucking kittens man.

To RisiR, you'll always be my favourite hater.

To -SpectraL, you're one of the only people here who can insult Arnox without ramming it down his throat.

To Arnox, fuck you.

I don't think it's likely, but who knows what futuretech will look like. Reading motor impulses is currently doable, with implanted electrodes. Blocking outgoing impulses, that would be somewhat more difficult if you don't want to do permanent damage. Inputting detailed sensory data, currently outside our capabilities, but only barely. Prosthetics can currently send heat and pressure signals into the limbs, and it's only a matter of time before a brain interface is doable

I don't see this level of immersion as feasible in the near future without a surgically implanted brain interface.
I'll try anything once, and twice to be sure.
