Unless, of course, it proves such a success that it becomes a major customer for the screen manufacturer or even becomes one itself—and my worry is that given the current resolution it won’t be able to achieve critical mass.

Edit: and here is a great consumer review (be sure to read comments too): http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/1btne8/rift_and_vr_first_impressions/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Great review, thanks for linking it. People really don’t seem to mind the resolution too much, which is encouraging. I’m really looking forward to all the weird little indie games exploring what you can do with VR.

In other news, Thunderbolt 2 is coming out which might be a good fit for future Rift generations with higher resolutions. I recall Carmack mentioning that even the current-gen Thunderbolt is too slow for transmitting high-res stereo images together with tracking information.

Haha, this must be the best Rift reaction video yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pAC5SeNH8jw

Sony Computer Entertainment head of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida is a big Oculus Rift fan, it turns out. “We’ve got a couple of the development kits, and I tried it out and I love it,” he told us in an interview this morning at E3 2013. Whether the PlayStation 4 will support it is another question. “No, it doesn’t,” Yoshida told us. Not yet, that is.

When we asked whether the company’s planning on offering support in the future, he only offered a “No comment” with a big smile. The picture of the retail Oculus Rift is potentially a bit clearer now, especially given this week’s addition of an HD version of the headset. We’ll be sure to keep on Sony about Oculus support on the PlayStation 4 as the year goes on.

Well.. that’s a big one

Agree, exciting!
