I struggle to believe that this is a serious post, from someone who has seriously used VR. At the very least, I imagine their experience is very subjective.
I have the Oculus Rift, but have experienced nothing like what he's describing. Maybe its the lack of room scale, the lack of hand/arm interaction (Oculus Touch isn't out yet), or maybe I'm just playing different games?
Oculus never felt magical to me. In fact, if I'm being honest, it was kind of a let down. Yea it's cool, but the resolution is garbage (even in the production version I have). This article reads like someone who's never used VR, but worries about what it COULD do to you... if it really were great.
- eof 10y agoHave you used a vive? The resolution I don't think is any better, but the vive does feel magical to me. Everyone I put in it seems to feel similarly; but the tracked controllers are probably a big part of that immediately immersive experience
- rubicon33 10y agoI haven't used a vive no. My guess is that the "magical" feel does indeed rely on your hands showing up in the game ("tracked controllers" as you put it). Without that hand tracking, it's difficult to feel truly immersed in the world.
