New VR headset coming - "Totem" (big trouble for the rift?)

[AnotherCrazyCanadian]

Hey guys, I posted this in the Oculus rift forums, but I figured it might be worth posting here as well.
(Also, I hope this is posted in the right area. Sorry, still kinda new here)

This Canadian company recently revealed one of their projects that they've been working on for many years. It's called the Totem and from the looks of it, it's going to outshine the Oculus two-fold.

(One of the features I also saw is called "Real world view" and from what I can tell, it uses the cameras on the front of the headset to see the real world, in case you need to find the keyboard or something.)

Now, this both makes me exited and nervous, because if this is near the same price of the oculus, I might cancel my devkit and make the switch to this. Sorry guys, but I'm being honest here. They haven't released any more information, but they want to release more soon. There is also a link included here.

If all of the stats are true, then it looks to be above everything else, except perhaps for the field of view.

Man, I think this is gonna shake up the VR world very, very hard.

That modeled prototype looks pretty similar to the oculus and the specs are also like the dk2, i think something funny is going on, 9 years in existence doing R&D and this company is the only have come with? looks like they ordered a dk1 and reverse engineered and now are taking advantage of the backlash of the facebook thing to push its product to grab some money. I hope this HDM really works but all those bells and whistles don't come cheap, be careful with were you spend your money i dont trust this company.

Sorry, I'm not trying to advertise this, I just thought it might be relevant to post on here. I am in no way affiliated with these guys. I was just trying to spread the word.

(I hope this wasn't a April Fools joke)

That's how it looks like to me too.

this rule about commericals here has been selectively questioned.
There are numerous people selling things here.
Perhaps Neil should relax this rule, in the interests of promoting
VR as long as Neil's resources are not being exploited.
