Virtual Reality headsets and their immersion ingame.

[Pie Crust]

I got my OVR, hooked it up, installed Minecrift, loaded up a map, my PC took a stuff, I reloaded Minecrift, I joined a server, walked around and got these screenshots:




Then I installed a HD x256 resource pack and some realistic shaders, my PC burned, I removed the shaders, my PC burned again, I removed the HD resource pack and installed LB Photo Realism x256, my PC burned, again, I removed LBPR x256 and installed LBPR x64, got ingame and took the following screenshots:





Walking around the map was loving beautiful! I can't imagine how it would feel like with shaders and a HD resource pack so I'm going to start saving for a decent GPU.

What are your thoughts on virtual reality headsets and their effect on you in games?

Getting it up for Minecraft is a pain in the ass but native games are pretty much plug-and-play. It does feel weird when you first use it but then you get used to it.

Not at all.

I really can't wait for the consumer release, I'll be getting one straight away.

The applications for learning and childhood education are really exciting, that's what I plan on getting into.

It also indirectly teaches you the keyboard.

 Because you chat with text in games and you can't see the keyboard.

The anime is a piece of stuff but the headgear is neat.

omg i forgetin love it

the only problem i have with my headset tho is that it puts a strain on my face. it might just be me being a dope and wearing the headset wrong, but it pushes into my face and my nose feels like its gonna break after prolonged use, but its only a minor set back in an other wise amazing product

like seriously falling from space in outerra with it is god damn magical

If I get one I wanna try it with a horror game.
