Virtual reality.
Anybody else a gamer ? Or just interested in vr ? I am looking forward to this tech. I just ordered the htc vive with a June ship date . Some of the games look amazing !!! http://store.steampowered.com/steamvr
Re: Virtual reality.
From someone who gets quite icky feeling on the special effects rides at Disney, VR is probably not my thing, but it's a fascinating field.

I don't game much, but I had some LCD shutter glasses for my PC back in the CRT days. Worked quite well. I remember being stuck in a spot in Tomb Raider. Then I got the glasses and the the addition of depth to the image and I saw exactly where I needed to go - plus the 3D was just a cool addition to first-person games - Combat Flight Sim too.
Add head tracking to that and it will be very cool. Someone dog fighting while wearing a VR headset will probably look like an epileptic seizure in progress.

Re: Virtual reality.
I briefly considered printing one.
Re: Virtual reality.
I started with the gear vr. Phone ones are impressive in that it can run it ...but the resolution was too low for me. The pc versions are higher resolution.
Re: Virtual reality.
PcS... did you ever get your vive yet? I just built a sick gaming rig and I'm now actually considering going the VR route too and I'm wondering how the Vive is.

Re: Virtual reality.
Yes I got my vive !!! I will say it was well worth the money !!! And I definitely would buy it again. One word of caution if you do the vive or the occulus. The base stations,satellites,lighthouses are very fragile handle with extreme care. I had one fail and have had to send in for repair. Awaiting their diagnosis now. Luckily some games work fine with just one base station....sadly some don't work at all.
