Super excited to get my hands on one of these. I suspect people who suffer from motion sickness might have an issue. | ||

I could be totally off but I read some snippet somewhere that they might be able to adjust for your prescription (perhaps not all prescriptions) in software/hardware (not sure which, or maybe both), so you could play without glasses. | ||

I ordered a dev kit many months ago, and am expecting mine to arrive in March/April. I've read virtually every video and piece of literature out there about the device, so if you have any questions shoot them my way and I virtually guarantee I'll be able to answer. Some common questions / misconceptions:

Imagine something on a grand scale, like Shadow of the Colossus or Skyrim on this thing... | ||

Anyway, if I can manage to get a computer that can run the latest games.. at 60 fps... in 3d... (which may be easier said than done) by the time this comes out, I'll by this so fast. | ||

Near sighted and short sighted might not have quite the same meaning.. In any case, I'm really exited about it. I just really hope it's not going to be a "fun little thing with a test map" and no games. If this takes off we could see a huge spike in the technology of these things in the future. | ||

Do not know yet if games should support this or not, I guess they should since they say that the first game that is compatible with it is Doom3. I would love to be able to play dayZ standalone with it though. Only 110 fov? Looks like I won't be playing quake or tribes on it any time soon, especially considering how the screen is closer to your face and thus requires an even larger fov than normal... | ||

Have you actually worked out your FOV when looking at your monitor or television? I'm sitting a fairly standard distance away (70cm) from a 27" monitor, and I calculated my horizontal FOV to be only 46 degrees. The rift is over double that! | ||

The rift is over double that! yeah, but if you don't count mass effect 3, most computer games have a much larger fov than that in the game itself (I think between 60 and 90?). Humans have about 120 degrees fov in focus and another 60 without depth perception if I remember correctly. Still, I think 110 is plenty for immersion. | ||

And yet my fov is set to 120 degrees in quake and tribes. I would not be able to play either game as effectively with a lower fov, I guarantee you that. | ||

Still, I don't need some fancy "bull shit" technical console to enjoy games. Especially in a time were most of the games get cut in depth, story etc. to get fancy graphics and what not. But this console strikes directly into that way. I don't like it. | ||

That's pretty high, even for Quake. Rapha is the only pro I know with an FOV over 105, he uses 110. Everyone else uses 100 (some 103, some 90). | ||

You realise that you're completely mixing up FOV? You can set your virtual FOV to whatever you want. There's no reason whatsoever you couldn't play quake or tribes on a rift with the game's FOV set to be astronomically high. People are excited because (amongst other things) the Rift will has a huge physical fov. | ||
