Hi all just wanted to mention the experience me and my 11yr old lad had today.
We booked 2 slots so we could both have a look at this new "gimmick" that I had lead myself to believe.
Went into a fairly basic room except PC in the corner ,racing chair close by with steering wheel screen etc and some sensors up into the corner of the room.
I let my lad go 1st..(perfect gent me
) and after some instruction away he went,he was excited right away but kids his age get excited about finding 10p on the floor. So I thought nothing of it,he had his 15 mins and said it was awesome.. Me not believing the hype got fastened up headphones on controllers in hand and the 1st VR scene booted up..OMFG,I nearly wet myself it was the mutts nuts. I've got trackir I thought that was good but this,this was something else.
I'm not going to give any spoilers as to what we saw/interacted with but please,please if your thinking of going down and having a go..do it. You won't be disappointed. You might have seen videos or whatever but until you put them goggles and headphones on and interact with them controllers then you ain't seen nowt.
My lad is still talking about it nearly 10 hrs later,so thank you all at OCUK for letting us enjoy this experience .
A last word to the fella who took us in the room,who patiently answered all our questions,who advised and helped us every step of the way ( he usually works on the sales desk at front of shop) I'm sorry I didn't get your name but you were brilliant and we both thank you so much for this unbelievable experience.
But thanks to you I've now got a lad who wants VR for Christmas
I don't mind...I want one too
Cheers all

Had mine a few weeks now and I still go omfg when I put it on, youtube vids cannot convey what it feels like to experiance vr. What games did you try?
thanks for your input guys,I really wanted to express my thoughts on today's VR show and I'm glad others feel the same.
