Saying “screen strapped to your head” isn‘t doing it justice.. If the lenses and separation are set up right the depth perception makes it much more real feeling than anything else. It’s hard not to reach out and try to touch things when its working perfectly.
The thing that’s special about VR is it replaces rather than supplements your real world setting. Being inside the games is a very different feeling.. in horror games particularly its pretty crazy. Elite Dangerous, Eurotruck simulator, Alien Isolation, Minecraft, Resident Evil 7 have been my favourites so far. Euclidean is cool too. Scanner Sombre’s vr mode is new and really nice, but currently requires motion controls.
Minecraft is really fun as tou get a sense of scale as you can see the blocks in relation to yourself. Can get horrible vertigo looking down from towers etc. XD
