Can see RPGs being good. Dont like the idea of the jumping around games the WII has but a sit down RPG with some dynamic controls like spell casting by drawing runes in the air with movement or aiming by pretending to draw a bow or firing a gun by pointing and pulling the trigger buttons. I can get behind something like that

Looks like you spent most of your time on the pron demo judging by how much of that loo roll is left!!!

Are those stiff pills on the left too?
Cant slate himfor getting his monies worth with the Oculus i suppose
Even though the post was far too tempting....I resisted....it is almost Christmas after all.
Maybe VR is the one area where we can all agree on and have fun with......until it comes down to which card runs it best of course.
Can't remember if I've asked this elsewhere before, if I have I don't remember the answer. I had laser eye surgery about 6 months ago - vision is perfect but I have noticed my close up vision is significantly worse now. I find it difficult to focus on something closer than 6 inches or so - what does this mean for VR as I assume the lenses are a lot closer than that.

Why thank-you, Merry Christmas
Yeah lets leave the chat to the tech itself, I'm very much bored with the rest of it.

Location of the lenses don't matter. Your eye doesn't know how far away the light has travelled to reach your eye. If the picture gives the illusion of an object 30 yards away and you try to look at it, you will focus 30 yards away and not an inch in front of your eyes.
Your brain is what decides where to focus, not the light.
If VR does take off, I can see both AMD and Nvidia jumping on this in a big way. 3D never really did and I was a bit disappointed, as for the most part it worked very well but compaing 3D to VR is night and day and VR is a mile ahead.
It really does need people to try and buy to really get going though or in my case, just buy

Yeah does require a leap of faith, just because it is so different to anything else we have

Yeah, you only really have to see what has developed in some of the other commercial tech markets which VR is linked with to see the difference.
The screens used are mass produced by Samsung for their phones screens and there are many phone screens at 1080p/1200p/1440p already being mass produced. Sensors used are miles better and we can see this from the use of infra red sensors for loads of different applications over the years, including gaming.

You tried Alien Isolation with the DK2 yet ?

I have brought this question to my optician friend and we had a discussion about it from my point of view as a physicist who did quite a bit on light and lenses and my friends point of view as a medical professional specialising in ocular health. The TV thing is a little different as you are focusing on a non 3d flat picture, so you dont actually focus behind the TV to where the object is. This simulates true 3d by showing your eyes essentially what is a low resolution imitation of real life with your eye focusing behind the lens. This is true 3d as it makes use of the way your eyes are designed to gauge distance to simulate it. 3d off the TV is not quite the same. Seperate lenses with images rendered at different angles is the key, though i imagine unrealistic differences and variation in lens positioning compare to the wearers eyes will have some impact over time, as everyones eyes are simply not always in the same place as everyone else's.
If you focus on the lens however rather than the image, you will be focusing far too closely, though at that point your not playing the game. If you are playing as normal and immersed you should be focusing as you would in real life.
