So it needs laser tracking thingies in the corners of your room? Yeah, no thanks. The cats would have em down within seconds. :cheeky:

What's cats' deal with user interfaces? You'd think they'd be content to just walk across the occasional keyboard, but they've got to fuck with your virtual tennis too?
Assholes.

To which the only proper response is to develop VR for cats. Make them play Skyrim and watch them trying to catch virtual butterflies forever.

I expect they'd be total pros at Dishonored, though.

One of my ex-girlfriend's cats once came and sat on a jigsaw puzzle I was doing and just looked at me like "what?".
They act like they don't know, but they do.

Of course they know. They just don't care.

Had a strange and amazing experience with the Rift just now. I was playing Assetto Corsa with a steering wheel, driving a few different cars, but it wasn't before I got in the BMW Z4 that my characters hands in the game were in the exact same position as my hands IRL. It was uncanny how much the 3D models hands felt like my own as I turned the wheel, and I kept having this slight tingly itch on the back of my hands, expecting to feel the fabric of the in-game characters gloves, though of course my hands were bare IRL. :p/:D

It's actually a (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxwn1w7MJvk) pretty cool illusion in psychology :)

Oculus finally set a date! Well, a pretty loose date, but still. Q1 2016.

And ofcourse Vive is coming out a few months before that.

Exciting times! I'll do my best to be sensible and hang on to my money until the Rift has been released and reviews and comparisons have been made.

My biggest hope is that my 4790k, perhaps with a second GPU for VR SLI, will be up to the challenges of VR. It'd be frustrating to have a fairly new machine that nevertheless is too slow...

You'll be fine with the 4790K...Regarding the GPU, I would recommend at least a dual GTX 970 rig...with 16GB of ram, and Windows 10 (in order to take advantage of DX12).
