Thanks for this instructive (and funny) feedback, it seems that quite a few of your problems are solvable: -a Sony like 'crown' design should induce less sweat. -a "webcam" included in the helmet (like the Vive has) should solve the talking with the GF and eating issue, no?

I have the VIVE the webcam overlay is very basic. The problem here is pretty much the constraints of VR vs AR. Do you really see yourself sitting or standing for 2 hours with the headset on your head? Again this is my personal opinion but I just don't see myself doing it, it disconnects me too much from the world around me, and every time i want to drink or take a bit i need to remove the headset or limit my snacks to small pigs in a blanket and drink from a straw. AR solves this, it can enrich any activity and any display type, even the o natural walk in the park. Make an AR version of sonic the hedgehog so people can run through coins and jump through hoops. Heck give it a couple of years and Nike would probably come out with shoes with haptic feedback so you can turn any green field into a soccer stadium and play FIFA 2034 Ultimate Freedom Edition and even feel the "kick of the ball" as you kick through the pixels. But as far VR goes from what I've seen so far "weeeeeeee I'm a fighter pilot" turns too quickly into "meh cosplaying as a fighter pilot is hard work....". Don't get me wrong VR can be tons of fun but given the choice between a monitor spanning cockpit setup for racing/sim games and VR i would take the cockpit without even thinking about it for a second. So for myself personally I put the VR with my Wii and take out mostly to check the "awesome new VR title" and for parties and friends and as far as gaming goes i prefer my natural habitat: http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s480x480/e35/13385897_1051077741647859_1938124837_n.jpg http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s480x480/e35/13...
