Not to mention it isnt VR at all. Its a lie.

Even having that into account, while its these bricks you must put in your head, it will never be super popular.

What do you call it, when you move your head (in the real world) and your vision ingame follows the motions?

Its real VR.

People need to stop downplaying this already.

 

This is like "ps4 haz no gamez".

A gyro screen?

Its not VR. VR is what you see in the holodeck of startreck. A virtual reality you can interact with. Not a little screen to peek into another world.

"Virtual Reality (VR), which can be referred to as immersive multimedia or computer-simulated life, replicates an environment that simulates physical presence in places in the real world or imagined worlds and lets the user interact in that world. Virtual reality artificially creates sensory experiences, which can include sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste."

I'm not downplaying anything. They are trying to sell a lie and they know it.

Where did you get that definition? Also, how does the current state of VR not fit that definiton?

Merian-Websters definition: an artificial environment which is experienced through sensory stimuli (as sights and sounds) provided by a computer and in which one's actions partially determine what happens in the environment

Dictionary.com definition: a realistic simulation of an environment, including three-dimensional graphics, by a computer system using interactive software andhardware.

Oxford definition: The computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image or environment that can beinteracted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special electronicequipment, such as a helmet with a screen inside or gloves fitted with sensors.

Yup, sounds like the VR we're being advertised.

Edit: Oh, you used the first paragraph from the wiki page...very official...
