Oculus Rift Preview: 'It's Not Revolutionary
It's easy to get suckered into new, so-called "revolutionary" hardware. The biggest, most recent example is the Wiimote, a motion sensitive controller from Nintendo which, when it launched in 2006, was set to change the world. Consumers, developers and even Microsoft and Sony flocked to it; now, less than seven years later, it's dead. Nintendo's credibility is on the wane and the Kinect and Move are both leftovers.
On paper, the Rift by Oculus looks similarly ill-fated. It's ambitious, it's novel - like lightguns, dancemats and Guitar Hero before it, it looks like something that might inspire a few years' of gold rush before petering out forever. That's until you actually use it.
thanks.
