I don't even have the DK but....

I spent most of my last weekend watching Youtube videos of OR - mostly Emart and Jackscepticeye reviews. Good Lawd, this is seems impressive. I have heard many repeat the same comment and say, nothing prepares you for the experience other than the experieince itself. I have never tried one but I'm so excited about the first time. I placed my order a few days ago, so am not expecting anything until at least September. The first three I will be trying without doubt are, (even though I have now seen them a few times in 2D)

Titans of Space
Blue Marble
Senza Peso

It seems that one thing the OR or any good VR experience does very well, is unlock people's emotions. It is literally a 'shock and awe' experience by the seems of things and particularly, I would imagine with those experiences which are quite humling, like Titans.

Well done to this community so far - amazing work.

    To imagine...

    You are asleep cosy in bed one night, someone breaks in, doesn't wake you up, and uses chloroform on a rag to keep you out of action. They take you to a cold, dimly lit warehouse and tie you to a chair.

    You wake up in the chair, unaware of anything, and look around, and think... wtf??? how did I get here? A weird sense of memory loss combined with suspicions of teleportation comes over you.

    This works best if you don't remember putting the HMD on of course! :lol:

    This may or may not happen so vividly in DK1, DK2 or even CV1, to everyone, but that is probably the essence of VR for those who may need to imagine what "presence" should feel like but haven't tried it. This isn't your mere 3D glasses :mrgreen:

    And it can only get better and better, as graphics and the hardware improve, eventually these will be truly photo-realistic locations. We may need to take amnesia pills to stop us getting conditioned to it (we don't want the 'novelty' to wear off) over years of use, and heart pills to stop us dying from the more stimulating events within!

    Bring it on! 8-)
