An interesting long-range goal, but I think Microsoft’s approach is actually the better one for the near term. Let’s start with VR being an “augmented reality” system that enhances the real world rather than constructing a complete VR world.

Of course, Microsoft’s approach seems to be geared at the scientific/tech level - i.e., for industrial or research use, and Oculus Rift is focused on home/entertainment use, so they have different objectives. I’m just not sure the tech is there for Oculus Rift yet.

I’m just excited about this and Hololens. If you’ve read science fiction (I have for 50 decades), we’ve been waiting for these technologies a long time.

There is so much more to invent, and more importantly manufacture and field! Can’t wait to try these technologies.
