One Step Closer to Full-Body Immersion
If I have any complaint about my limited time with the Oculus Rift, it’s that it’s still just a headset. Yes, Oculus Rift Crystal Cove adds support for a wider array of body movements, but the system is limited to your head and shoulder area.
After spending 20 minutes with the Rift, I was ready to take the VR experience to the next stage — full-body immersion, Kinect-style. Because the world inside the Rift’s head-mounted display is so incredibly immersive, it begs to be taken to that next level.
The Oculus Rift and its ilk of VR headsets will change the way we engage with stories, play games and even approached medicine. I’m fully convinced that we will reach that level — sooner rather than later.
