I think it's too late and doesn't have / will not get enough publicity.

If it's utterly amazing hopefully it will get the publicity it deserves.

Would love to try it out for the resolution and the eye focusing shame about the refresh rate.

Looks like it's using IR for tracking like the rift but I can't see any place for IR trackers on the back, I wonder how well the tracking holds up compared to the rift + vive.

Can't wait to hear the reviews!

refresh rate seems to be 70hz, isn't that below the absolute minimum?

It's the way forward for future generations of headsets from the established players. My guess is that if it's any good, the company and technology will get swallowed up by a bigger fish.

I am interested in seeing how they get content to it supporting eye tracking and how well it works in the real world.

I was very enthusiastic until I was told that the Fove's fresnel lenses will have the same lens-flare issue that affects CV1.

I think this is probably personal preference, similar to VR sickness.  I seem to be able to tolerate less than "perfect" conditions better than most, but for some people if it's the smallest bit off they suffer.

It's interesting and I hope it succeeds. I was wary when the specs said up to 100 degrees fov. IT looked heavy and not very comfortable but that remains to be seen. I personally don't have the slightest desire for it at this point.

between the ms inside out tracking and the fove eye tracking and with a bit of reverse enginering the future oculus  should be pretty good.
