Two years since the Verge VR article was published

I figure people here might find it fun to know that today it was two years since the Verge article about Oculus Rift was published: http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/30/30521 ... -with-john.
John did write about it on this forum a few weeks before (http://www.mtbs3d.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=120&t=14967) but AFAIK that article was the first time it was talked about in the general media.
I have to say it's kind of fun to look back and see how far everything has gone since then. Even though the final version hasn't shipped yet there is already a lot of exciting projects popping up all over the place with peripherals around VR.
And the knowledge about VR has come far as well during that time. Particularly the talks Abrash has been giving on the topic of presence in VR and how it differs from anything we have seen before outside "real reality". (Here is his latest talk from the beginning of may at CMU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxbh-TM ... 074FE16B6B).
