That’s good to hear. What I’ve seen is atrocious.
I have Google Earth on Oculus, it is simply astonishing. Many cities/locations are full texture-mapped 3D, from satellite data. There’s also 360 degree 3D video. I just bought “Elite Dangerous”, the graphics are very much not 1992 :)
These units all suffer from poor resolution and worse, the screen door effect. For the price of hardware and the unit itself, until they move past theses things, I don't see sales really bumping.
My son has it and works on the games. I’ve tried it and yeah, it can definitely make me queasy. Very cool though. He had to redesign his room for it.
I think we’re a long way from packing a (currently) 600 dollar liquid-cooled gaming video card into a phone.
Or there could be a breakthrough in technology and it could happen next year!
Virtually no pixelation (”screen door effect”) on mine, certainly not enough for distraction. Iif you’re experiencing that your video card isn’t good enough.
Playing The Climb, you literally feel like you are going to fall to your death. They need to integrate heartrate monitoring into these VR systems. I bet what you’d see would be really crazy.
