2014 is going to be the year of virtual reality headsets. Now that Sony have announced they're in the game, you can bet your bottom dollar that we'll be hearing of other companies like Samsung and Microsoft announcing their own virtual reality headsets which are most likely already in development.<p>I was young in the 90's, but I remember when the 3D glasses thing was a trend for a bit. It was crappy, but any Direct3D game would work with the glasses and the ones I had would only work with an NVIDIA graphics card. They were shutter glasses, but in a darkened room, they would work quite effectively.<p>The thing that excites me other than new competitors in the space driving up the quality of the VR headets space, is the price coming down. The more competitors the better, the Occulus Rift is great if you've ever experienced it, but not affordable for the average consumer just yet. If Sony can price it right, they've just upped the game.<p>The future is exciting. Surprised it took this long for competitors to emerge in the VR space, especially when the Rift started attracting large amounts of funding and key players.
