I had a Nintendo VirtualBoy, it was awful.<p>I tried other VR Goggles since then, and never were they any good.<p>Your brain gets all screwed up using the VR gear. For example your hand&#x2F;eye coordination changes to the VR world. You spend 12 hours in the VR world moving stuff with your hands. Then you take a break to drink a soda and pour it into your eye instead of your mouth.<p>The Oculus Rift is no different, and unless they address this issue there will be lawsuits against Facebook as millions of people use it for 12 16 24 hours at a time, and then in real life everything is messed up with their motor control.<p>Some have joked the OR is nothing more than a Scuba Mask with two iPad Minis on each lens. I think it is far more than just that.
