@hellrazorangel What part of it is gimmicky? Your ignorance astounds me. How is having complete immersion with no outside distractions and head tracking so that when you look around your view changes automatically a gimmick?
That's like saying having someone interrupt you while you're gaming every 10 minutes while turning lights on in your face is better than no interruptions. That's like saying it's better to not have a 2nd analog stick to view your environment while gaming. Because essentially with Oculus rift you no longer need to view your environment with the right analog. It's based on your own head movement, bringing you further immersion.
Obviously you either have never thought of the experience or never read up on it before. It truly is unfortunate for the future of gaming and technology.
A great part of this is that they're using the Kickstarter to get this into the hands of developers rather than just throw the thing into the consumer space. This has such amazing potential and really it's success may be more due to how well developers utilize the technology.
@rarson Same here. Been waiting since the early 90's for anything close to this. Willing to pay more for this than I would be for an actual console, especially if I could watch tv on it too.
