hmmmm... interesting. It's neat, but almost too much. All I could think while watching was "that's a small TV". I could see using it for parties, having it set to respond to music playing, a kind of living room screen saver if you will.

The only effect I saw that interesting was the one where you could see an object that was behind the player. All the other dancing lights and blurry images projected on my entertainment center are just going to be a distraction and an annoyance.

I would hope that display technology and processing power would eventually catch up to the point where VR is finally all it was cracked up to be in 1991. Whether that time is here now or not remains to be seen, I think.
Cool, but not really useful. You're using a projector to display video on a huge area. It would be better to actually have a huge area for displaying it. Ultimately, practicality wins. Unless they stop giving us practical choices.

Well, the dev kits are low res, though they claim that'll change. Still too narrow, I want 190 degrees horizontal so it actually fills my field of vision. Still a few generations off.
They have said the dev kit does not represent the final product, they even made a lot of significant upgrades to it since it was shopped around last year.
They plan to start production next year so plenty of time to work out the kinks.
Either way it's the best I've seen by a long shot. I guess it'll probably bring about Virtuality emulation if it's popular enough
Right now the major problem is that it works well, but it makes a lot of users violently puking-your-guts-out motion sick. I hope they offer refunds to those so affected.
Since I have that reaction to first-person shooters on normal monitors, I plan to stay far, far away from this thing
We are glad to help you but simply posting that something does not work is not going to lead to you getting help. The more information you can supply defining your problem, the less likely it will be that you will get smart-alec replies.
