A friend has had an Oculus for about a year now. It's almost as engaging and useful as Google Cardboard.

I can't remember why I was searching for "second life" (I can't recommend it, at least not without safesearch on) but this is on the first page:

Thus concisely illustrating the true market for Oculus.

    Obviously I spend most of my VR time in The 1920s Berlin project, the sim I build and live in, my baby.

    So there I was, actually inside SL, I walked down the streets of the city I build, it felt and looked all so real and soo good.

    Screenshot_6I must confess that when I saw the Graf Zeppelin fly over, I cried.

    It was so beautiful and a sight I’ve wanted to see ever since I was a little girl.

    But also jumping on a tram and being driven around the city is so exciting, I couldn’t stop giggling.

    The details, the sounds, the textures, all great, but the general feeling of being inside something real, a proper 3D surroundings, is just impossible to describe.

    You experience depth, height, scale, all those things that get lost on a regular computer screen.

Especially with safe search off.
