He used it for a week, said that its shit. It made his eyes sore after 20 minutes, marks on his face, his eye developed spasms when the headset was off, controllers are bad, ugly.
Thoughts?

vive is where it's gonna be at
oculus died as soon as whats his face got hit by a car
There are countless positive impressions of VR, and a handful of negative ones, yet people cling to the negative ones like they're the true representation of VR.
Reminds me of the whole vaccines cause autism thing.

the positive impressions for this thing are all by paid shills

Who got hit by a car?

Co-founder andy scott, was walking across the street and got nailed by a mexican (I think) running from the cops. Right after he died they sold to facebook.

Damn

And he didn't finish it like it should have. That guy took away with him all the data and prototype ideas he was going to do since he didn't write them and didn't told anyone about it. RIP

The end result would be the same as it was now, except they would have even less money since they werent funded by facebook.

Of course, the jews have completely no relation to that.

We are going to hear lot more stories just like that. VR is not for everyone. You are putting your eyes in a very awkward position, so it's not really a surprise that many people won't like it.
I think his opinion can be safely disregarded. It's one of "those" people.
>It is also rougher to set up and get accustomed to than products like smartphones and tablets.
>The game, which involves steering a spaceship and shooting guns and missiles at other online players, was impressive and stimulating, and dying was appropriately stressful.
>But a reality in which you are a dead pilot enslaved to fight and die over and over? Hard-core gamers may love this, but I prefer to be in a less depressing place when escaping from actual reality. Put me on a beach where I can look at whales.
>If you purchase the Rift, you had better have thick skin. The aesthetic of the headgear — it looks like a pair of black ski goggles with air traffic controller headphones built into the sides — is not designed to get you a date.
>And since wearing the Rift makes users less aware of the outside world, videos and photos of them donning the contraption — and taken without their knowledge — may end up on Instagram or Facebook.
And then he ends with:
>The Rift’s graphics, sound and head tracking, which is the device’s ability to follow where the viewer looks, do feel like something out of science fiction. While the system’s setup is somewhat complex, the smoothness of the graphics and the high-quality design of the headgear make virtual reality feel ready for prime time.
But oh no, it makes him look like a nerd, that's awful

>>53788507

>And then he ends with:
He had to write that, its a nyt fluff piece

Because it doesn't actually mention eye spasms in the article
You only get sore eyes if you forget to blink like a fucking retard and they get dry.
Use it yourself the only problem is the window effect.
It was great playing elite dangerous.

This NYT guy is still a massive faggot. He disliked Eve, probably the best game available, because:

There was a shitty VR game featuring OR in the Comic Con of my city last year. It was meh to be honest
The game was about shooting planes with machine guns coming from all directions. The angles were a bit off so you had to really twist your head a lot to just see something that you would normally move your head very slightly. The orientation of OR seemed pretty bad but that could be the games fault. The game was not too clear as well. And visibility from only one lens sucks
OR is like the blackberry of VR
>>53788511
no, that's from their latest advertising campaign

The reviewer sounds like a fucking douchebag, frankly.
