How sick of Pi's VR hype are you?

At least we know it won't be an uber failure.

But 15,000 is nothing and 10 minutes is too short. Not enough data to determine demand.

I am happy with it.  
Say Oculus sells 100,000 (which I think is very reasonable) and Vive ends up with 30,000 after everything.  That would be 130,000 headsets sold.  Not amazing, but I think that would be a very good start.

Is Ex-Halo Devs' Golem PlayStation VR's Killer App? - IGN First - IGN

PSVR first killer app!  


"I was inside my first Golem: a six-inch doll on the floor of the hut. If you've ever wondered what Honey, I Shrunk the Kids would be like if it were real, then this portion of Golem is probably as close as you're likely to get in the foreseeable future."

WUT!

Odd choice for a vr game. Might check it out if it isn't too expensive.  
Palmer was teasing something that was better than yu-gi-oh, this is it.

"The human brain has a low tolerance to hiccups in the VR space, and that's the spec we're confident putting our name on for a consistent gameplay experience when you're exploring our galaxy. Our spec also takes into account that we're not rendering at Vive's native resolution of 2160x1200 but at 3024x1680 (1.4x each dimension recommended by Valve) and then scaling down. We believe this is hugely important for anti-aliasing in VR to avoid noticing pixels so much, as other solutions can leave them appearing relatively large at the centre of your vision."

Yeah the fish eye distortion has to happen after rendering, so in VR you tend to render significantly higher than the screen resolution.
