I can't imagine people buying what is effectively a 7" tablet mounted on a swimming facemask. It would require the user to lay on their back to avoid their neck muscles getting tired supporting the device. The Google Glass is a lot more practical.

A 3-d, or at least steroscopic gaming rig? really, people like that stuff. For gaming (right now, at its current level of development, this is what it seems great for).

Looking at the news:

Sentiment that FB will f**k it up seems to somewhat prevalent.

Okulus rift sounds kewl.....and I.......personally think.......it is going to "somehow"............morph into something "more kewl" than "google glass"....because Zukerberg is not payin all of those INCREASED taxes on the evil corporations....

and.........will invest it in............crushing Amazon, Apple, Google....etc.

a cheap "okulus rift" at a throw away price......for all those "blip verts" trillions of them for a billionth of a cent?
