Dev kit 1? They made quite some important improvements with the current iteration. Friend of mine makes games and got to try the HTC Vive recently at a conference. He said it blew Cardboard / early Oculus out of the water. Higher screen resolution, less lag and especially the controllers make it a much better and interactive experience since you can also walk / jump / crouch around. That said, the $800 Vive and Oculus require a $1000+ computer, so of course it is not ready to go mainstream. Both VR and GPU's definitely need more time to go down in price/performance.A friend has had an Oculus for about a year now. It's almost as engaging and useful as Google Cardboard.
