Oculus Rift...

OK... I caved in to the latest bundle offer and bought one.

I have to say the technology is astounding. The amount you buy into what you're seeing as real is uncanny.

I can only imagine in 3-4yr when we have 2-4 times the resolution (& the GPUs to power them) and goodness knows what other additions, how utterly incredible it will be.

My interest has muddled since it's been discovered that motion sickness is such a big issue that most games that are ported to it have either been unplayable or been forced to make major alterations to their gameplay.

However looking forward to VR specific AAA+ titles based around mechs, planes or other cockpit based games.

I never understood the motion sickness concerns over it, given people seem to happily drive cars and fly things with VR helmets on.

But, the problem seems to be more down to standing up, and moving at a walking pace. It seems to throw you off and makes your stomach lurch. Maybe that sort of speed and effect is hard wires into your brain as walking, and to fool your brain to the fact you are, when you're not, is confusing? I guess this is why they've come up the teleport mechanism to move around instead, rather than a more tradition sort of WASD control mechanic.
