"Visualisation of Architecture and design. Walk throughs to check the design is good. " But do the benefits outweigh the negatives? And by negatives I mean looking like a complete fucking dork when wearing it... | |||

"I fucking love OR. :D But then I'm a massive nerd and need shit like this to get me through life. lol. I have a headset that I slot my phone into to watch 360 degree videos that's similar. And when I'm doing that, the last thing I'm worrying about is how much of a twat I look to other people. Definitely worth it. lol"At least you admit to being a massive nerd. I think it's ok for nerds. What I resent is the marketing trying to pass it off as main stream. There's some dick heads on YouTube screaming as it simulates a roller coaster - get a grip ffs, your children will see this video one day | |||

Fook! Just Google "virtual reality headset" and you'll see one for £19.99 "Not the same really... OK so I admit I can be a real nerd at times...LoL But the rift will be a fully immerser independent device when combined with the Touch (they will probably be another £200+ when available). In a way a little like the wii remote but perfect for some serious gaming! I better be careful or I'll be talking the plastic out of my wallet!  | |||

I accept that standing and moving in my living wearing a mask and holding 2 thingies is not PC (sic). But how can you say being able to 'move and look' in the right direction does not make gaming better? (And more 'serious')  | |||

"Anyone excited about these? Just seen them on YouTube and quite frankly one of the dumbest looking things I've seen in a long time. Didn't we have these kind of things in the 90's... until nobody bought them. If you care that much, why not just put on a hoodie and tape a tablet to the front of your face? " Alright Grandad calm down and breathe 
Oh and yes we had VR in the 80s and 90s but it was terrible due to the early technology. Now we have powerful CPUs/graphics and small high definition displays so it is actually decent this time around.
I won't be bothering with the Rift or HTCs VIVE though - as it means upgrading my PC - but I will be buying the PS4 version as soon as it comes up for pre order.
Oh and everyone that has seen VR through my Ritech V2 headset has been blown away  | |||

I think they failed because of the lack of benefits. Much like 3D films, novelty at first and then you realise that you enjoy a good film irrespective of whether shit pops out at you and it doesn't stop a shit film being shit. | |||
