Head tracking is already available with commercial products like the TrackIR or open source projects like FreeTrack.
It does make a huge difference in immersion, especially for things like flight or driving sims.
My big concern with the Occulus is that the screens are relatively low resolution; I'm sure that will change over time, but the first generation hardware's screens are a bit lower resolution than I'd like, personally.
- dpiers 14y agoTechnically this is still not the "first generation". Oculus is releasing a dev kit, and they have stated that the initial retail version will have higher-resolution screens.
- cma 14y agoThere have already been several 1080p phones announced that have screens of the right size. 4k TVs are coming out now which will drive down the price of the control chips required. And OLED can scale to extremely high DPI.
