[QUOTE=RaptorBlackz;50086280]One of my nephews was playing waterbears and attempted to throw the little guy, Although he used his pitching arm and put a small hole in the wall.[/QUOTE] I tried the vive on small kids and holy shit they are dangerous. They don't listen to instructions. They ignore the warnings. They will flail their arms around when you try to take off their headsets even if you tell them to stand still. Hitting you in the face. They hit themselves. They hit walls. They entangle themselves and trip. They run into shit.
I wish I didn't have a lazy eye. I can't see stereo. With 3d movies becoming the new standard, I hope this won't replace regular gaming anytime soon, even if it seems fucking awesome (once it leaves the prototype-gimmick-application-state).
I tried the Rift DK2 last year and it was cool in a gimmicky sort of way. But there's no way I'd drop like $500+ on something like this. The resolution is too low, the headset is too big/uncomfortable, the inputs are too clunky. Wake me up in 10 years.
