^, interestingly enough, I saw ESL or someone planning to do a VR broadcast of competitive CSGO. Don't have the equipment to partake but sounded pretty cool

It's there, but not here. Waiting for it to be sold locally myself... not willing to add another few grand and hope that it doesn't break.

I got a VR Headset from SuperQuick and errrrrrrrrm
heres the simplified version
Cheap VR = While it makes VR affordable to the masses, it is not the best experience but it is a nice starting point for what could be?
Expensive VR = While you are paying a premium the experience is a lot improved unfortunately some people would still prefer the Cheap VR simply because of price
VR Overall = There is potential but there is not enough VR content and there is no VR Standard so experiences will vary.
Augmented Reality = This is a nice option since you don't have a gaming PC but as long as you have a PC running Windows 10 with decent specs then this is a good option with the Microsoft Holo-lense

Yep. No doubt about. Porn forced phone makers to make better screens.

Major break through, they solved the latency issue with wireless VR
https://uploadvr.com/tpcast-wireless-vive-kit-works/
So wireless VR works, and it works pretty well, that means no cables and 2 - 4 hour battery life more than enough.
So in theory you can get total freedom in a space of 4 x 4 meters.
They even got a person in to do a handspring, best part it is, it's not far off.
Does require a lighthouse setup and one additional sensor basically on the roof in the middle though, but it will totally be worth it.
VR is almost, almost there. Closer than my bank account it...
