Interesting, so we're finally getting virtual reality helmets? I've been waiting since the early 1990s. They seemed to be right around the corner and were featured in several films like Lawnmower Man (1992), that Aerosmith video (Amazing, 1993), Disclosure (1994), Virtuosity (1995), Johnny Mnemonic (1995), Hackers (1995).
I suppose it makes sense, every technology seems to take about 20 years to reach the consumer market. I wonder if it has anything to do with patents lasting for 20 years.
- sillysaurus 13y agoI have one. It's amazing. It's everything you imagined it could be, and more. It has the drawback of not integrating very well with most of the current games because the game's UI itself needs to be drawn in 3D perspective. For example if you don't do that then you'll see two crosshairs when you focus your vision in the distance. And if you focus on the crosshair, you'll see everything else in double vision. But that's minor. You should experience Google Streetview with it. You can google Eiffel Tower, look up, and almost feel like you're there.
- mtgx 13y agoOculus Rift is the real deal. Not sure why people compare it with Glass, though. They are not even remotely competing with each other.
- seraphimserapis 13y agoAgreed. Google Glass is more about showing some useful information while you're on the go and not about immersive 3d gaming.
