So there's gonna be a new VR headset made for gaming. If you don't know the name of it by now, then you probably missed the title and the video. Go ahead and look up.

​The thing looks awesome. You might need to buy a controller for this but still.
Also, Gaben approved. TF2 was updated to use the Oculus.

I read somewhere Microsoft was working on augmented reality (for the next xbox in kinect 2.0) that's like a really advanced projector that outputs high quality picture on all of your walls. I like this idea better, tho. Mainly since I don't want to have to rebuild my house to get the best experience out of a projector.

Auglaaughlaghlaghlaghhhhh...! *Hits floor, foaming at mouth*

 

 

Yeah, that's what happens when my mind is blown.

 

I'm also impressed that they care enough to address the whole "hey, I wear glasses and I wanna play :(" thing by making it a goal to engineer it to be comfortable for the bespectacled among us. It's hard enough to find headphones that work well with my glasses because most manufacturers are just like "LOL, u be screwed then :)", least in the cheapie market.

THIS IS THE GREATEST  THING EVER!

 

Also, doesn't Gabe look somewhat of a fine dressed pirate? :troll:

I found a video of some guy using an Oculus Rift in conjunction with an omni-directional treadmill device to kick up the VR experience a notch. Even better, he's playing TF2. XD
