Anyone tried these?

I can beat that.  When I was 13 my orthodontist's assistant was his 20 year old daughter with a DD rack.  When she bent over to get to my molars my face would get jammed so deep in that rack I'd have to tap her shoulder to get air.

It was a religious experience to a 13 year old boy.

Glaine:
I played a VR space game at Six Flags as a kid and it was pretty cool, when you turned your head, the goggles showed you different parts of the cockpit. You sat in a chair and had to look at ships to aim at them and then shoot them (your head motions controlled a cursor). I remember my head over my shoulder and seeing that the chair you sit in is also rendered in VR, pretty well thought out.

Thats my main issue with these, and why I've never bought one - it isn't a new idea they have made screen glasses for a long, long time. But besides the price, I don't want to buy one until I can try it because I doubt commercial grade glasses will have a very good range and precision for when I try to look around in a VR simulation or FPS, or whatever else I might want to play on it. I don't want a shaky image or bad tracking or small viewing range.

So I've been waiting. Someone is bound to make em good someone day but I'm just leery.

I know why Chad really wants these, he thinks they will make him look almost as cool as the guy on the ad.

ChadTower:

That guy is righteous.  Look how he raises his fist in indignation at the machine.

These aren't motion tracking glasses.  They're just a display attached to your head.  Nothing VR about them like the game you're describing.

Glaine:
You are right, they are stationary glasses. I had most of my post written before I even read the system specs. Well then, thats cool enough. And they do look better made than the typical screen "shades" I see. Though I would still want motion sensing really, with an option to turn it on and off.

As The Simpsons once said, "Just because you continue to say something does not make it true"  :laugh2: .

The price is the key here.  It's only $350.  Sure, $350 is still $350, but not too long ago crappy barely working headsets were a grand.
