    it’s definitely not the same thing, at all. multi-monitor: nice, but you’re still sitting at your desk in your room.

    VR: (any, even a CV1) you’re existing in a simulated world that is NOT the one you’re now. you’re comparing apples and bananas.

      Yeah they’re not even comparable. Multi monitor setups are great for sim rigs where your head will stay relatively static.

      But VR is a completely different ball game.

      I mean the last head set I put on was a virtuaboy in a Toys 'R Us in the 90’s. I’m definitely completly out of the loop, but also, I primarily play top down games, not things from a first person perspective. Maybe this colors my perspective too?

        you’re not getting the full picture. you’re not… “playing”. you’re there and you’re living that experience first hand. you can’t possibly explain it with words. when you see the videos of those people freaking out because they’re walking a plank on top of a skyscraper, it’s not like you’re “playing” to be walking a plank… YOU ARE THERE AND THE PLANK IS UNDER YOUR FEET. to your brain, that’s as real as it can get.
