Now that I have been extensively using my TrackIR it got me wondering
whatever happened to virtual reality headsets? I think the TrackIR is the
next best thing, but problem is that you still have your eyes focused
straight ahead no matter where your head is turned. I remember plahing some
virtual reality games 5-6 years ago in Las Vegas and figured by this time
(5-6 years later) it'd be an affordable peripheral for PC's. But nothing
exists. It would be much more cool, IMHO, to be 100% immersed in the
environment by donning some virtual reality goggles that all you could see
was the in-game environment. They could probably even make it with wider
peripheral vision too. I'd pay $300-$400 for a good set if it were
available, and compatible with most flight and driving games. Hell, even
first person shooters it would be pretty cool too.
Anyone know if such a thing exists or is in development?
