(Kind of loud. But be sure not to miss his awesome reaction at 4m20s.)
I have the original devkit, and it's amazing. You can even interface it with Google Street View. There's nothing like typing in "Eiffel Tower," tilting your head back, and staring up in awe.
In fact, I'd say no one here has experienced Street View until you've seen it with an Occulus. It simply cannot be described how incredible it is to look around with your head instead of dragging your mouse!
EDIT: Okay, if you're unhappy with that particular video, then this one might be more to your liking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl7fz__6B-4#t=15m30s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl7fz__6B-4#t=15m30s
EDIT2: Wow, that Dreadhalls game is terrifying. You actually don't even need an Oculus to get the full effect, just headphones. https://developer.oculusvr.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=3404 https://developer.oculusvr.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=3... (Windows / Mac)
- RobotCaleb 13y agoTo be fair, that guy is pretty widely known as being an idiot.

- iamshs 13y ago... I would not be able to bear someone playing a game like that in the house. It will be obnoxious. (I am aware can be used outside gaming environment.)
- enneff 13y agoHis "awesome reaction" is the same reaction he has made hundreds of times to various scenarios in many games. It's his schtick. Hardly a ringing endorsement for the Oculus device. (Although I do hear that they are fantastic.)
- Ideka 13y agoI don't think so. He actually jumps back, as if trying to physically get away from the creature.
- yaeger 13y agoHow is the camera shaking like that not going to make you sick? That would be my number one fear about occulus. If it makes you motion sick, it would be a damn shame to know something like VR exists but you cannot play it unless you are fine with feeling like a dog for hours after a session longer than 30 minutes.
- huskyr 13y agoI had the same reaction when trying on the Rift a few days ago for the first time. However, the guy that developed the app i was watching said you need to grow your 'VR-legs' and after a couple of hours the motion sickness will go away.
- salient 13y agoI found this much more amusing, and it shows just how "real" Oculus VR can be to people, to the point where it physically affects their movements: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9po7_2hYaU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9po7_2hYaU
- nemof 13y agogoddamnit you made me click on a pewdiepie video. Fair warning to anyone clicking, pewdiepie videos are absolutely obnoxious. don't melt your brains. otoh, I am very excited to play this game, Routine when it comes to oculus rift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAcAd1fUiy8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAcAd1fUiy8 it looks bloody terrifying.
- Segmentation 13y agoI've tried the Oculus for a weekend. I'm relatively unimpressed until 1080p or higher becomes available. It's currently too low resolution. Blurring and scanlines interfere too significantly with the suspension of disbelief.
