Oculus Rift

had a talk with a leading HMD designer guy today and of course I shared my petty little obsession with the Oculus Rift. Obsession, because, I could never believe that something so Jerry-rigged and cheap could ever represent anything like real value. First off, I have to retract that Sony stuff related to a possible patent infringement with Oculus because there is NOTHING Patentable in it's make up. It's a re-hash of a twenty year old design that was abandoned, why?, because it made everybody puke sooner or later. Increasing resolution, decreasing latency, software fixes only delay the inevitable, that to wear the Rift or similar is a guarantee to cause simulation sickness to one degree or another. So let the Austrians and the Japanese and the Yemenis for that matter, let everybody make their own Rift and throw out the Ipecac Syrups, the stomach pumps, throw it all out. If somebody swallows Strychnine or Rat Poison just slap a Rift or Rift-like device on their head and stand back.
