New VR headset coming - "Totem" (big trouble for the rift)

This Canadian company recently revealed one of their projects that they've been working on for many years. It's called the Totem and from the looks of it, it's going to outshine the Oculus two-fold.

(One of the features I also saw is called "Real world view" and from what I can tell, it uses the cameras on the front of the headset to see the real world, in case you need to find the keyboard or something.)

Now, this both makes me exited and nervous, because if this is near the same price of the oculus, I might cancel my devkit and make the switch to this. Sorry guys, but I'm being honest here. They haven't released any more information, but they want to release more soon. There is also a link included here.

If all of the stats are true, then it looks to be above everything else, except perhaps for the field of view.

Man, I think this is gonna shake up the VR world very, very hard.

Imagine people try this thing and get it all wrong.

"Hey man, get the oculus cv3, it's so cool"
"Yeah well you know, I tried the 3d-head 10 years ago and it sucked, I guess VR is not my cup of tea"

Isn't that headset, one of the ones form the "old" type of VR? You know, the 15FPS/ 2-second delay HMD's from the 90's?

I think I remember paying $15 to "experience" VR in one of these, right about the time I was graduating high school. If I remember right, it was heavy because it had two small CRT's in it and weighed like 20lbs!
