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. They are just that desperate to sell it and get the return from the investment. This will be as big as the Move/kinect if not less.

Uh, pretty sure the popularly known definition of VR is basically a helmet you put over your head that transposes you into a different reality. That's a concept that's been around and hyped since the 1980s at least. 

I don't think anyone's dumb enough to be expecting the holodeck from Star Trek. 

The Playstation VR/Occulus Rift/etc. are basically the realization of ideas that even Sega and Nintendo were promising from the early 1990s.
