I mean…
there used to be a rollercoaster near me,
“The mean streak”
A pretty extreme wooden rollercoaster, it was very violent and not smooth
Last time I rode it was in my early 20s…
You felt like you were in your mid 30s hobbling off that ride… took you a half an hour to walk right

Cambria was the project name, it’s officially launched as the quest pro
Nearly all of the leaks are spot on, so either super good leak sources… or intentionally pr leaks 
I have a few growing concerns
Only 2 hours battery is less than ideal, as is stock 72hz
The price point is no fun, but so far the market is doing nothing than pissing and moaning and throwing a tantrum than a device a generation ahead isn’t the same price as a lower tier device that was subsidized and charged less than it was even worth

I’ve been a VR researcher/dev for like 7 years now, the new headset is impressive. People underestimate the use of eye tracking in these devices for so many reasons. But that’s also one of the large costs they have built in here. I’ll be getting one for work and I’m stoked to collect all the data!

Any chance of a port to steam any time soon 
Will I finally not get motion sick?
Possibly,
But only being 72 htz won’t help
Hitching and stuttering, or loosing 6dof is the quickest and easiest way to induce motion sickness

Talk me in to VR, as someone who has quite bad myopia and has yet to find a use case that is both fun and not gimmicky. I’ve used an HTC Vive, Oculus Quest, and I think one other? I lose track. They’ve all felt really beta-type hardware and software, and Google Street View was the most interesting thing available.
I’m more of a bushmills fan, but that looks like I would sip on it once
