Here's to hoping someone with a name in the industry can finally push through decent consumer VR, and that this will get some attention at E3...
I bought the Sony HMZ-T1 earlier this month hoping that it would be what I was always looking for in terms of home VR (despite the lack of headtracking, which I was going to add with trackIR). However, it was horribly uncomfortable to wear and just didn't give the immersive feel I was looking for.
In looking at the Oculus site it mentions that there is a Kickstarter campaign, but then when I click through to a forum post on it the date he mentioned that was back in 2009. I'd be first to contribute to a decent HMD Kickstarter campaign...
Carmack's been pushing companies like this for nearly two decades. In particular, he has been a significant force in the evolution of the video card industry. The hardware companies know and respect him. If anyone can do it, he can.
