but beyond that what's new about it? even in terms of regular gaming on a screen, the perspective is quite similar. if you sit 1 foot in front of your moniter the screen is going to take up practically your whole vision and the perspective will look similar to even if you had something strapped to your head (I guess there's the periphial viewpoint but still). I guess what I'm saying is I don't get what's so revolutionary or special about it at this point. The VR concepts that involve like whole sets of materials in a room where you're using a bigger space with sensors to try and immerse yourself and fully move the body- that seems like a big step forward. simply strapping a screen to your face and being able to move your head and move in game possibly instead of with a button in some cases (?) is not that special. I don't know. I think we've all tried things like this in the past. All I know is personally I like to game and do other things at the same time. strapping a contraption to the head seems overbearing and uncomfortable. Its not casual enough, comes off as a gimmick like the Wii Motion controls. Which again, can be cool in small doses but certainly didn't take over gaming just like I don't expect this level of VR gaming to
maybe in 10 years when the tech is advanced further |
