VR again, your opinion.

CES 2013: Hands-On with the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality Headset - YouTube

They are trying to bring back the old VR device in a new and improved modern version. I personally thing it's a cool idea, but again will be flawed due to serious lack of support. What kills it for me, is they prefer Vsync being enabled which kills it for the FPS player.

Something like that would make gaming experiences absolutely fantastic. Talk about getting into the game. lol

Indeed, but if you are playing an FPS you will suffer from input lag due to needing Vsync. I could only see this really being good in racing and FPS where you don't need any form of input lag.

Kind of defeats the purpose of the VR helmet then doesn't it?

That is exactly what I was thinking the whole time. They speak of the polling and the motion detection latency, but never how long it takes between moving your head or moving your mouse to when you see it. If you had Vsync it's gonna be longer since these are 60hz panels.

I'm hopeful that's an issue that will be resolved over time. Personally, I find the concept of VR to be quite amazing; and I'd be very disappointed if this helmet turned out to be useless for most games.

For most it'll be an ooo ahhh thing like 3D and 2D Surround. To me, I see it as latency heaven, or hell.
