video-gaming on HMD with fov30-50 and you GUYS call it VR - you guys are being in false make-believe !
Now the reality - warn you that you will be sad reading from this point on....efforts of pierreye will be wasted - my advice after reading this , watch pierreye setup for VR again for a laugh-out-riot....at least that will get u out of depression/ frustration for the time being
HMDs in a present state what they are worth other than a cheap time pass if you are on a flight , lacking space to accommodate a FULL HD TV and watch in privacy whatever u want ! - lemme tell u HMDs as of now - not a great TV replacement , not even 3D alternatives in their pristine purity and finally not good for VR even - no wireless , no full HD quality no head-tracker bulit-in with 6-dof.....
i bet no company is vying to make the VR happen full force ! becoz it's NOT possible [read the commandments of VR bible below to find out - why? ]
tablet PCs are my new obsession now got iconia w500 already and waiting for asus Tf prime .....
! i stopped spending on HMDs - st1080 is all in all a vaporware / cinemizer OLED is trash and sony needs a lot to improve to be a true VR accessory so what have we - Xsight - can anyone afford that ! i doubt ! but that also NOT a true VR set even !
playing video games with fov 30-50 HMDs is NOT VR - just a time pass if anyone says it's VR then he/she 'd consult a psychologist / call Moulder & Scully for advice regd. VR-Syndrome - A Classic X-files case !
here there is difference between 'video glasses' and 'VR HMD'...
THE BIBLE of VR states these commandments - a true VR HMD is the one with
1)FULL HD resolution and more
2)FOV 100-120 or may be more
3)built in head-tracker with 6-DOF
4)totally wireless built-in
5)FULL all format 3D support with superb resolutions
6)highly ergonomic and light-weight....
7)blocks out outside light
8)superb optics - effortless focus
DO WE HAVE ANY CONSUMER / INDUSTRIAL HMD TO FIT THE BILL AS ABOVE ?
i do not think that's possible in the present context as it will be achievable using nano-technologies not yet perfected !
if what u have is not as above [see pts 1-8 ] it's NOT VR - it's just cheap video glasses....give it names sony/vuzix/ zeiss/ emagin whatever !
question : WHAT IS VR-SYNDROME AND HOW TO IDENTIFY THAT ONE IS AFFECTED OR NOT
answer : VR Syndrome happens when you drive your mind into believing that you are doing VR whereas you know in the heart of hearts that it is not VR and constant battle rages between mind and heart to justify/disapprove VR situation leading to mental issues culminating in VR-Syndrome - can be eradicated if consulted with psychologist in time ! if ignored in early stages - one might end up in mental asylum
i hope to see this in the next season of X-files if there were to be any ! an episode on VR-Syndrome - a false make-believe mental disorder with current shabby hardware[read HMD] /software
we are a million years away from a real consumer HMD for true VR - xsight is NOT for everyone to afford [even that is not wireless , violates pt-6 ergonomics ] rest of the HMDs perfect for anything other than VR !.....heed my advice and u will bother your wallet less and less for HMDs......trust me
