Featured above, you can view a teaser trailer for the new project.
The project, while not currently poised as a traditional game, will be played by moving your physical body, instead of using a controller. The creator of the series, Reki Kawahara, is describing it as something entirely different from any game seen thus far.
The new project uses a completely next-generation computing system dubbed the Cognitive System, which is powered by IBMs cloud-based system SoftLayer, which is supposed to recreate the semblance of a tangible, virtual world.
On the projects official website, IBM is taking applications for users up until March 4th for an alpha prototype test, which shall go down between March 18th and 20th in Tokyo. Only 208 lucky applicants will be allowed to try out the early prototype.
