As someone who won an Oculus Rift in a door-prize drawing (lucky me, eh?), I was extremely excited about what I was about to experience. This new VR boom is young but well-justified. An experience that's unlike anything else, it's so easy to lose track of time.
The transition between real-life and VR is a difficult one to make, and it's what prevents me from getting the most out of my Rift. Putting on all of the gear and shutting out the rest of the world - it's not for everyone, but it can be a great escape.
Looking forward, I'm more excited for what augmented reality can deliver that simply isn't feasible with virtual reality: awareness of your environment and the people with you.
Thanks for the comment. I agree. I think AR has a much better future than VR, however that is my personal opinion. In our report (www.thehutchreport.com), we only stuck to the facts. The big problem that our research showed was there are many possible health risks that are still unknown.
