Here you see Reiner with his sons Georg and Max in deep toughts on the kickstarter campagin of Still Alive Studious in 2010 to support the developement of Son of Nor by creating a Gate of Nor. Finally a NPC called "Ervare" [the one knowing in Afrikaans] was put inside this game and show ways to opensim worlds - connecting game design with 3d immersive art worlds. For the first time ever a game was steared by brainwaves using an EPOC headset. Son of Nor is supporting Tobii eye tracking and Oculus Rift.
