VR and ED in 2016

ED on the DK2 has hands down been the best gaming experience for me ever and I can't wait to go for the proper solutions when they come out.

As we're expecting production visors to ship for Oculus and Vive in 2016 ... I'm keen to know a few things so thought I'd fish here first :)

Rift or Vive? I can't make up my mind here but I like the sound of laser tracking with the Vive. From anyone who may have met the devs or read anything in the press, do you know whether FD have hinted at a preference?

I'd also be interested to know if FD plan to integrate the Vive hand controllers with the game. Does anyone know if FD have this planned - or will it be visor and Hotas only?

Anybody else making plans for VR in 2016? If so, what are they?

You are a few days too early my friend. Why fish now ... when the fish will fall from the sky on your head in just few days time. Maybe you have not heard of this event called CES 2016. This show will have all the fish.

I honestly can’t wait for VR products to be easily available. I finally went to my 1st CES 2 weeks ago and theres a bunch of cool VR headsets heading our way this year.

One of the big ones I tested was the 3Glasses D2. They’re supposed to be shipping to North America this year for $399. SO much cheaper than the other ones I tried. Still has a great latency, FOV and refresh rate. I spoke with them for a few minutes when I was there … apparently they have a standalone headset coming out later this year too. (Saweet!). Anyways - they were my biggest surprise from CES. Definitely one to keep on your radars.

I also checked out some of the bigger named-VR sets at the show (Oculus, Samsung Gear, HTC Vive). There were a few glitches (as expected with young tech), but there’s some really good stuff coming out to look out for. Great English content too - gaming and videos.

I also heard about Deepoon - a Chinese knock off of Oculus. Apparently they’re trying to use Oculus’ content on their VR headsets and sell for less. Cool idea, but there’s got to be some issues with intellectual property/compatibility. No objection Oculus? It’s an interesting convo about innovation vs. straight up copying successful competitors.

Anyways - can’t wait to see how the industry changes this year as products/content actually enter the market. Think it will become mainstream? #hereshoping

the3glasses.com D2 Vanguard Edition.

With a Display from 2K with 534 ppi it should be good enogh for the most of us.
