I will be playing with the DK1 this weekend, for the first time. I am farsided and wear glasses so I am really interested in how the vomit goggles will treat me.

It seem that Palmer Luckey/Oculus VR moto is "Everything for sale, anytime, at a good price."

In 2 years, there will be hundreds of brands of VR headsets. And it isn't even mainstream yet...why can't just people put all their efforts into at least pushing 1 out the door into everyone's hands.

Well... This will be great for when you are on a flight. Actually... Exceedingly excellent.

What is divisional tracking?

Given that there's a built in camera, it seems like mobile devices are poised to thrive in augmented reality. I hope this device makes some progress in that direction. It would definitely help differentiate between the two devices and offer a very unique experience.

This sounds great for the casual user, but to get a true VR experience you need a separate screen for each eye. This gives you the feeling of depth and imersion that one screen cannot. Good step though. Anyone remember the Forte VFX1?
