squiffy Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 the only real interest I have in VR is for racing games, as above, being able to glance out the side window or different mirrors would allow a whole new world of immersive close racing! I'm just not sure I can justify all of the cost for that though! especially when you are trying to put a lunge up the inside of your mate who hasn't got it, get turned in on and written off. only to get "sorry mate, couldn't see you" down the mic lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 To be honest, the Oculus and Vive headsets are genuinely very immersive. They've been in the works for years and are far from half baked. Can't say for any others as I've not tried any alternative headsets, but these really do the trick. Indeed, it's been quite a wait for Oculus. It's the competition trying to catch up and all the cheap Chinese copycat rubbish that will be half baked and flood the market with cheaper alternatives that the paupers buy. (see above on cardboard comments) V1 of Oculus is still not going to be good enough as it has to make compromises to hit a price point people can afford - which is still very expensive. Resolution, refresh frequency and field of vision will be a challenge for some years yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I dunno, I find VR a bit of a dated concept. Very Lawnmower Man. It's all about AR for me. I can't wait to get my hands on Hololens. Nail on the head. The biggest breakthrough will be augmented reality headsets - once they can get the HCI right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
