"In May 2022 an innovation known as NerveGear revolutionized the gaming industry. Humans could now truly connect to a realistic virtual world. This is called Full Drive.

NerveGear only has one method of input. It is shaped like a helmet that covers most of the users face. Inside, millions of signal units generate electromagnetic waves to stimulate our brain.

Nothing the user "sees" and "hears" in the virtual world actually comes from our eyes and ears. Everything is manipulated directly in the respective parts of our brain used to process each of the five senses.

Full Drive just like the name implies, completely synchronizes the user's senses with the game to provide them with an entirely immersive experience.

NerveGear not only simulate sight and sound. It also simulates taste, small and even touch. In other words, it can completely immerse players in a virtual world. However, its true potential lies within the fact that it doesn't just sent virtual sensations to the user. It intercept and manipulates the signals sent by the user's brain.

When using NerveGear all the signals sent by the brain are blocked and processed so that they only affect the avatar in the virtual world. This immobilizes the user's physical body, so there is no risk of running into walls in the real world while playing in the virtual one.

NerveGear is able to create a true virtual world.

Sword Art Online

Sword Art Online is set in Aincrad, an enormous floating world that includes grasslands, forests, villages and even markets.

However, magic, an essential part of fantasy role play, does not exist in this world. Instead, there are countless moves called Sword Skills. Players rely on these skills, fighting formidable guardians in order to conquer all 100 floors of the tower.

Only a thousand players were chosen from a giant pool of a hundred thousand. For two months, those lucky souls were allowed to experience dream-like days in the beta test.

And today, Sunday, November 6th, 2022, at 1 in the afternoon. The long awaited official opening of the game-
