Facebook: Oculus Will Become a Meaningful Platform in Many Years

[Product Placement]

Rift may catch on, it's definitely not the first, or even second take on Virtual Reality though, but until I can actually try the device for myself, I'm reserving final judgement.

I got a chance to try the first developer model and one of the newer HD models in a convention, recently. It was amazing. The HD one was running the Valkyrie game that CCP is developing and it really felt like I was inside a cockpit. One of the niftier thing was that the pilot's body had been rendered, so when I looked down, I could see a body where I expected to see one. It's kinda funny feeling being able to look to your side and see that your shoulder is still there.
