  1. They have not even released a working VR headset yet have they?
    Last I heard they were still working on VR sickness that occurs after using it for extended periods of time.

    1. Technically, Oculus has a working headset, as they have already released development kits to those who were willing to purchase them. However, it does lead to VR sickness with extended use. Though the company (and others who are working on VR) are working on a solution to VR sickness, I have a feeling you won't see any of those innovations in the first builds.
