I tried on the DK1 this past weekend. I was curious as to how it would handle wearing glasses at the same time. My current pair of glasses has variable focal points which led me to see pixelation(pixels) at the edges of my vision.
That being said, it was still convincing enough for me to begin feeling very nauseous on a carnival ride demo. I had to remove them after less than 3 minutes "inside" as I was turning green.

I know they are pushing because Samsung and Sony are looking to release versions of
VR head device. I personally feel Occulus doesn't need to rush it. Have the software and games etc available to support the experience. There are companies that have done similar devices but the reason they fail or didn't sell was mainly due to software/support. I personally can't wait for the experience, but it must be done right. If all it ends up being is a monitor over your eyes it will fail. It has to...how do you say "put you in the game." Not expecting it to be jobe from the movie lawn mower man, but you get the idea.

I still find it a shame that it doesn't look like oculus will be getting any direct competition on pc, sony just moves to the ps4 for support and Samsung just sits on mobile. I feel like VR could come of the ground far better if there where multiple manufacturers and open standards by which the sets would comply for compatibility's sake.

I think the only samsung headset is based on OR technology aka they paid OR a lot of money to make a basic mobile version. Sony has a headset, but it is nothing like the OR. So, they are not pushing any harder than they already have been...remember this article is a rumor.
