Yes it has 3D. But instead of your "cinema/hdtv" glassess filtering the data, with OR each of your eyes receives its own picture. There is no crosstalk or drop of brightness. Its pretty much best and most relaxing way to see "artificial 3D".

So you will learn how to type blindly while playing games!
And could this theoretically "cure" fear of height?This is what I always thought Valve was gunning for with Linux. They're on record as stating these are going to be entirely new platforms in the future. So this is the vision they seem to have for AR/VR.
I'm seriously debating... $300? You also consider the consumer version will probably be out at the end of 2013/2014 at a more expensive price. I think there will be a market for these once initial impressions hit April.
Maybe they are holding out on the consumer version to explore options in next gen consoles?

i imagine it could help some people with they phobias. Height, Spiders, small room etc.
We will see.
I just want to chill on a Beach Chair on the VR Moon and listen to my Spotify Playlist
There is a list of upcoming games with proper Rift support on Wikipedia.

Well I feel like I'm hearing the same thing I heard when we got Ipads and other touch tablets. 'This is going to change everything' I think there lots of assumption come with new tech about how it's going to be used and lots of people assume it's going to be used in a very specific way that they would like to see it used. I think there is going to be lots of reality that comes with it and we will have to wait and see.
Now nobody take this the wrong way, but the idea of so many people wanting to immerse themself in these total world experiences kind of scares me. Immersion is fine but I'm very ok with being aware that I'm only playing a game. I'm not sure what it is but people wanting to 'escape' to another reality or virtual reality' bothers me.
Think about minecraft. Doesn't really have tasks, just lets you loose in a sandbox. Stuff like that could be great (really want minecraft support for OR)

You should be able to experience VR just as well as you experience R.
Sony or MS will attempt their own, flawed copycat versions. Like they did with Kinect and Move.
I thought this worked by utilising both eyes?
Maybe not the best example because touch screen devices like the iPads and the like are changing everything - and super quickly. iPad came out in 2010, and since then the tablet market has exploded and is being utilized in a lot of different ways, and company adoption of tablets keeps going up and up - and now more and more laptops/ultrabooks are being designed with tablet functionality in mind. It has changed everything~
Assumptions are going to happen, you're right. So I think that's why I'm trying to be hyped specifically about those things that people who have tried it have repeatedly spoken about as amazing - ie, scale and immersion.
Well if you're worried about the ethics of something like this, I think that's a different thing. And I do think it might be an interesting conversation, especially if this device delivers on it's hype, even a little bit. Regardless - if I am going to say anything about the ethics in this thread it's simply "everything in moderation" - people take drugs, people go on vacation, people read novels and people do all sorts of things to 'escape their reality' - this is just another avenue.
A few people. Apparently it's been pretty random, some people who never normally get motion sick are getting motion sick, and some people who always get motion sick are fine - it's a mixed bag.
However the company is looking at tech they can implement to fight this - and things like positional tracking (which will be in the consumer model, guaranteed) and faster and faster screen refresh rates should alleviate these problems for more and more people.
Skyrim is so beautifully immersive as it is, I really want to try it with this.
If you lost or never had your perception of depth, this ain't going to change that.

If MS or Sony don't plan supporting it now I don't see future support for nextbox/PS4
Well said. I lack stereoscopic vision as well, for the record.
...
Mid March feels like 2 years away.
Stereoscopy works that way (like it does in reality!), but all the other features that make it "VR" instead of "3D" should still be the same without stereoscopic depth perception.

I predict they'll get purchased by a hardware maker of some type (Msft, Sony, Nintendo, Apple, Valve, etc.) if the device is truly ground breaking.
We'll see. Always good to see us moving more toward VR though.

For the 3D and depth perception, but for univision folk, depth perception isn't something that you can experience anyway, or stereoscopic 3D - but the field of view will be there.
all games with VR need VSYNC 60FPS and Stereo 3D and we all know that 60fps does not happen alot on consoles ^^
MS and Sony should just install the drivers etc. that oculus rift need to work on consoles and let the developer do with it what ever they want but i can´t see that happen.
You could also not use head tracking in games that aren't first person.
The FAQ without mentioning 3D says that you need two equal eyes as there are two images projected to your eyes.
I guess you'd have to, but luckily I'm already a master a typing without looking at my keyboard.
yeahe, see something you will never see in RL. Something like Zelda Windwaker artdesign
Mh. Why 60 FPS?

For me, it's less about escaping reality and more about a much more intuitive and effective way of moving the game camera. It has very immediate benefits when it comes to any cockpit based games. I can look into turns easily, with 1 to 1 head tracking or follow a target with my eyes and head instead of aiming the entire vehicle.
Because otherwise your brain doesn't buy it as reality. 120 would be better.
For the same reason they needed the sensors to operate at 125+Hz, anything less and you can't replicate the experience of "being there" in the virtual world. VSync must be on so that tearing doesn't occur, which will also tear you out of the experience.
Well, imagine cyberpunk game and diving trough cyberspace... there, tearing will add to the impression of the "fucked up virtual reality" that is poking your brain.
No, that's a mod for GTA IV.
THIS IS VR:

There are two images projected to your eyes just like in the real world. Looking through the Rift is exactly* like looking at the real world.
*You fucking know what I mean.
me too!
I hope this amazing thing succeeds not only because it deserves it, but also because of the impact it would have on the importance of atmosphere, details and HUD-design in games if it's actually succesfull. Even just walking around in Skyrim seems like it would be an amazing experience, so I can't even begin to imagine how exciting games which are actually made with VR in mind will be.
Also, we're one step closer to the scenario in the book Ready Player One. Oasis here I come!

Since it focuses at infinity, it's actually easier on the eyes than looking at a monitor/TV.
Definitely seems like it's doing what it's supposed to. We're closer to full virtual reality, which is where we'll end up in 50 years (at the consumer level). Gotta see it myself to see if there's any critical drawbacks like autostereoscopic 3D or most motion controller tech today, though, before I get on board. People tend to really oversell these gimmicks in articles.
