Has anyone here actually demo'd the rift yet? Seems like any review anywhere just hypes it up because its VR and the future is now..... I still plan on getting the Sony VR when it comes out simply because I also have a 3d printer and I like to throw my money at useless things :laugh2: |

Certainly it hasn't and we're going to see continual improvement over the years. Rather, I said we're on the cusp of it catching up at least to the point VR is more palatable and usable. At least a lot moreso than it was 20 years ago. |

We would have overlooked the limitations of the displays 20 years ago if there was an experience worth having on these devices. --- End quote --- The problem with VR has always been the ergonomics (or lack thereof) getting in the way of the experience. VR isn't ideal if you get a migraine and neck cramp after using the thing for 20 minutes. Current technology has made dramatic strides in overcoming those prior limitations. Again, look at tablets. Once the technology caught up to the idea and started allowing the usability people needed, they started to catch on. |
