How come we dont see headsets that can be plugged into your computer so you can play games like unreal tournament 2004 etc.
That would be unreal

We got a VR1 headset in, in about 1998 ish just when VR had all the promise of being big with a few Hollywood movies about it etc.

If was fairly crappy, never really tracked quiet right, and really gave the impression of looking at a video game through goggles. I have to say I couldn't have been less impressed. It would be interesting to see a new headset with a decent game, but due to the lack of interest I am guessing its still not very good.

I must admit, back then I would have though VR would be the standard by 2005.
