No, but I heard the Naughty America stall was very popular.

Not tried PSVR, but will be buying it as soon as I can find one, I have tried Gear VR, which considering it only uses a phone isnt too bad.

Having said that, it has its limitations, obviously no head tracking so, no motion controls, although some games use a joypad, it isn't as immersive and the screen door effect is very noticeable so detracts from the visuals.

I have been following VR very closely and the PSVR stands up very well with both the Oculus and Vive, October can't come soon enough.

just a passing fad

Sling you have no idea, literally every major tech company is now heavily involved in VR, investing billions into a tech that reaches far beyond gaming, with Film, medicine, sport, education etc all set to benefit from the tech.

VR is here to stay, many a naysayer has woken up to it's potential.

I've heard that premier league stdiums are looking at investing in this so that fans can log in and watch the game 'from the stands' in virtual reality

dunno how true that is as it might have a negative effect on attendance but if it happened that would be bloody cool

VR is the new Betamax

I can't help but laugh at the people who think VR is just a passing tech, the most basic research will show a very different scenario.

Umm no I haven't, tech has finally caught up with VR's potential, we are on the cusp of a new tech, 5 to ten years from now the VR we see today will look very dated.

Don't laugh. I was going to hit you with

"VR is the new Apple Newton PDA" next. Bloody spoilsport.

I'm only pulling your plonker anyway, VR is going to be mint

posted on 21/6/16

It is going to be mint, but it's early days, it won't realise it's full potential for a few years.

Cant wait for VR the sims so i can pretend to have a job and a family

I have had a play about with it

its very immersive and it could be incredible
but whenever im on it and it has motion ...like most games/ simulators do i get motion sickness from it , most people do

we developed some software for it and it came with a whole lot of restrictions in developing as it could give people heart attacks etc ....its a glance into what will be but its not quite there yet

I cant see how they over come this

Celtic, motion sickness is a problem, it was for me, but I'm much better now.

If people take their time and ease themselves into the VR world, you will gain your VR legs.

I played Robinson the Journey, a lot of walking about, I didn't get on with it, but I played it for ten mins, left it a day or two then went back, soon I was up to half an hour, then an hour, and now it isn't a problem.

People need to take their time, you do adapt.
