"Well could very well be... but its a step in the right direction. If this thing can take off mayby their is hope for higher res VR tech at about the same $$$$. All in all... 350-400$ for such a gadget is not a lot of $$$. Because it replaces (the VR920) the monitor, TrackIR, headset and mic.. this thing could prove less expensive to someone on a budget.... even if its not 6dof"
Wouldn't it zoom in and out with a TrackIR 3 or 4 with 6DoF enabled??? (assuming, of course, that the game supported it)
I wouldn't go quite that far Zoom. After all, the guy on a budget will most likely want to use his computer for something other than flying around in IL-2. I doubt very much that typing would be very easy with a VR helmet on - at least for someone like me that has a hard time hunting and pecking in broad daylight!! LOL
I'm still holding out for a better resolution and depth of color. Once it is in the range of present day monitors, then I'll definitely get serious about it. IMHO, a good VR system will be the most immersive peripheral designed for the sim community since TrackIR and the HOTAS Joystick.
