[quote quote=1748]But what do we do to play? Does everyone need the same stuff? (Like controllers and whatnot?)[/quote]
I don’t know, but it says it’s for the Rift AND the Vive. And the controllers for each are pretty much established by now (especially for the Vive which, unlike the Rift, NEVER relied on an XBOX controller for that part of the experience).

The Oculus GO https://www.oculus.com/go/ looks like it might be perfect for me – a “prosumer” but not avid user. They disconnected it from the wires too – big deal for me
Oh, yeah, cable-free is the way to go. A local VR entertainment centre has untethered HTC Vive powered by a PC/battery combo in a backpack. It adds a lot to the experience, and you barely notice you’re wearing it in mid-game (a maze experience, in this instance).
Anyway, I see your Oculus Go and raise you the Oculus Rift “Half Dome” prototype:

[quote quote=1627]yeah man, I can’t even do 3D games that use shutter glasses, any FPS game, stuff like that. Now, if I take motion sickness pills or something that contains a lot of ginger, I can play for awhile without getting sick, that is how I beat the last Tomb Raider on some parts.[/quote]
So freakin’ glad that’s not me. I happen to not be sensitive to whatever causes nausea in VR use…and after so many years of waiting for it to finally arrive thank Christ for that.

Can’t believe I haven’t replied to this yet.
My first brush with a console was as a 7/8 year-old, playing Pong on a crappy black and white screen my teenage uncles had in their room in the early ’80’s. I’ve loved computer games ever since; I remember wondering how my uncles could ever get bored of this amazing device:

Our family got a Commodore 64 a few years later and it just sealed the deal. Forget the fact that a low-end modern graphics card could provide the resolution of ALL of the Commodores that existed on the planet that same year, that Commodore opened my eyes to some really cool ways to have fun – my first brush with programming included.

I’m so glad we live in an age where computer games (and VR) exist. Now I just want to see a man on Mars and my wishlist would be complete 😀

In an update, after a great deal of prepping and interviews, I am now a project coordinator with a major technology firm in my local area. It means not just a cool company name to add to my C.V., but also more money than I’ve ever earned before.
That’s right, bitches. It’s Endy time
Well allllright, sounds great – can you disclose the company?[/quote]
I’d be happier not to make it public – I’ve put innocuous info out there before and had a nut I know track me down and contact me.
I trust you, though, so I’ll PM it, FWIW.

[quote quote=1479]I just got back from Universal Studios Orlando and 2 rides there: Minions Mayhem and Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon that completely and totally blew me away. The feeling of total immersion which included wet, heat, bumps, sounds, flying, free falling, driving – literally the coolest thing I’ve ever experienced as far as VR type things go. I can’t imagine what the coming years will bring
They call it “4D” but it’s VR. I can’t imagine the type of things being created privately right now.[/quote]
Damn. That ride sounds immense; makes “Richie’s Plank Experience” look like a freakin’ pile of puke 😀
