Great post @sirwinchester I was lucky to own the Occurs Rift DK1 for a few months and thoroughly believed that this is the future. The technologies are advancing at a rapid pace and the prohibitive cost for entry in VR has dropped dramatically. The PS VR will bring a more appeal to a wider audience - although they are not the most advanced system available to the home user the cost of a PS4 is a lot less than a beefed up PC rig. As costs reduce further the market is going to explode.

True, VR has actually been around for several years but it only got into mainstream 2-3 years ago when Oculus started dropping their prices. I also think that introducing Playstation VR was a very smart move from Sony, attracting their regular buyers to access new cutting-edge technology!

I remember having a go in VR some 20 years ago. The headset was huge, heavy and very claustrophobic. The graphics were very basic and the field of view was miniscule but, as I sat in a WW1 biplane I turned my head and was in awe of seeing the pilot sat behind me wave at me. That experience stuck with me
