A new article goes heads-on with the new device and features an interview with the company's founder, Ed Mason."

Oculus Rift still unproven by BisuDagger · 2014-02-20 02:53 · Score: 3, Interesting

I think it's great they are trying to tap into a unproven market because I love seeing new technology developed. But I just don't see VR redefining the gamer generation. I quite enjoy gaming without something covering my face. Still, very cool to see the technology developed.
Wireless? by Anonymous Coward · 2014-02-20 02:53 · Score: 4, Informative

Wireless is nice, but when it comes to VR HMDs, it is low on the priority list, below imperceptible latency, accurate tracking, resolution, etc. I'd read the site to see how they're going about those issues, but more than half of the screen is taken up a non-scrolling header.
