Virtual Reality? Anyone else interested, or just me?

Corbo:
I've been waiting for the Vuzix VR1440 glasses for longer than I can remember.  I too enjoyed stereoscopic 3D in the 90's/early 00's starting with Virtuality in the arcades, and then some Elsa Revelators on my own PC.  These were not VR glasses, just 3D shutter glasses so you were still looking at your monitor but with depth of field.  Playing Flight Unlimited or Colin Mcrae Rally was simply awesome with the extra dimension, and I've wanted good VR glasses since.

These shutter glasses fell by the wayside as LCD's took off and the refresh rates were too low to make them work for a long time.

VR920's etc just didn't seem to make the cut for me, too low a resolution, too small field of view.  Rumours of an improved VR1440 have been about for years but Vuzix are more interested in augmented reality in the style of wrap around sunglasses at the moment.

I honestly think that everything we have seen, and will see for now, is just novelty. Until we get the experience streamed straight into out brain, Existenz style, it can't be anything but novelty...

That would be the ultimate goal, but until then we could at least strive for increased immersion.

Besides, would you plug a Microsoft OS into your brain?

None of the Sci Fi novels I read as a kid ever mentioned Microsoft...
