literally all it needs is a body model and texture in the load background...the rest is pretty sweet. Why they didnt have that already I dont know...likely just rushed

Just read an article about that.

The face and frontrunner of the VR movement. Walled garden approach. And their first in house showing is basically the same experience as a 20 dollar cardboard setup with the addition of... a virtual selfie stick. 2k+ entry fee. They managed to appeal to neither the gaming audience nor the potential professional application audience. 

They'll certainly need their virtual selfie stick to fight off the masses clamoring for that experience. Unless they're all at home photoshopping their xboxlive avatar in front of landmarks for free.

They spew a bunch about how important adoption rates are and making it available to the masses, but the actions don't really equate.

Yeah it felt rushed and not a little bit forced. But at least it was nice to see the hand units in action. They look to match the HTC ones in motion and accuracy.

Some time in the future when you can put a background that you can actually explore in real time instead of just a static picture then this will be amazing.

and cameras are being made exactly with that in mind.

This is an early prototype, obviously.  I thought the concept of taking a sphere and applying it to one's head, and suddenly you're "there" with whomever else happens to be sharing your digital space is pretty cool.

Just a demo of the types of social interactions that might be possible in the future of VR, which Oculus needs badly according to Polygon.

Just what we need a bunch of dirty upskirts running around London in VR real time.

yeah I have been trying to shut down the porn industry as well because it affects my concentration on my murder simulator games

Awesome!!!!! This is really what they need to do now. As much as it might hurt some to hear, I think that they really need to tell Palmer Luckey to stfu or get on-board. I think that he's the main reason that there is such a tunnel vision for VR as a whole and I just don't think the gaming market is large enough for what Facebook paid for it.
