You have to admit... they look kinda silly with that giant thing on their head!

have you ever seen yourself while being fully immersed in a game?

I've watched quite a few people game and for many of them wearing a VR headset is an improvement over their actual "game face"

LOL! Can't say I did but I probably look silly too!

I wonder if that thing is heavy and how many hours you can use it before it has some sort of secondary effect.

Loved the girl referencing Game of Thrones ("Not today") and the guy referencing Finding Nemo ("Keep swimming").



Signature goes here!

the DK2 shown here is 440g or 0.97lbs, about 1/10th of the weight of a normal adults head, so I imagine fatigue from holding up your own head is amplified by 15-20% with this, should be good for quite a few hours of uninterrupted gameplay (and more if you regularly take a break, like is adviced in pretty much any game anyway) ? I haven't used one yet though

they said they want to make the consumer version lighter than that
