I guess 1-2 more years for solid VR mainstream (Samsung, Asus, etc). I personally can't wait! Every 90's kid's dream finally coming to fruition. I just hope it doesn't mean headaches / car slickness after prolonged use.

Can't see how it can get round the motion sickness problem. No other VR Headset / company has managed it and a lot of money had been spent by Sony etc. As soon as the real world is obscured your senses particularly your balance can get confused and cause motion sickness. Also headaches can be caused due to the fact you are actually looking at a near / flat image which means not having to adjust your focus for different ranges.
Had the pleasure to test Oculus DK2 last night at my crazy buddys place who bought it.

The matrix resolution is not there yet, you can clearly see the enormous pixels on flat single-colour surfaces, but the thing is so light it's cute
Demos that run on their own and I can only move my head are fun and terryfing how realistic the feeling of standing on an edge at the same time, but switching to one that uses the mouse to move gives me gagging reflex after ~30 seconds.
Though it's not the rule, a swing demo that goes back and forth is making me sick too, I could only keep watching for the first few, 3 or 4 swings, that was too much.

version 1 or 2? v2 has better resolution and things are looking pretty good, Assetto Corsa is the one i would like to try
DK2 of course, sorry, forgot to mention, will edit post.
Dunno how bad it looked in the previous version, but when the screen is completely white or any other lighter color other than black you can clearly see the pixels, just like you would sticking your nose to the monitor.

hmmmm, the v2 is 1080, but i guess if your eye is that close to the screen it does make sense
The motion sickness thing seems to be really dependent on the individual. I had the DK1 earlier and never had any trouble with it myself; half of my friends who tried it couldn't stand it for very long at all, while the other half didn't have problems with it. I assume with improved resolution and the spacial tracking the percentage of people who experience significant nausea should go down, though it probably will never work for everyone.
Apart from the roller coaster and other demos, playing Half-Life 2 was my favourite - the scale was perfect and the adjustments Valve had made to support virtual reality worked very well Quake worked nicely too.

I'd really like to give the OR a go with FSX or X-Plane.
One challenge to tackle would be how you can "see" your controls. Maybe a camera with shape recognition combined with a database of known controllers and special gloves so that you can "see" your hands and controls while wearing the goggles.

Yeah that sucks in most demos I tired.
It's either the retarded Kinect control where you have to wait for it to notice you placed the viewfinder on your target, but slightly better cause you move your head instead of your hand, or it tells you to press a key on the keyboard and either uses WSAD or arrow keys, so you have to at the start slide it up your head, place the hand on the keyboard and place the Oculus back on your eyes.
Without seeing the keyboard nor my hands I felt like an amputee most of the time.

I had a go on a DK1 apart from the screen door effect i thought it was great, I would love to see a DK2.

I must admit I love the DK2. I got mine about a month ago and have been playing Quake and Elite: Dangerous with it. I had the Nvidia glasses in 2009, and so it's similar in the way it works, but much better. Not perfect yet as I agree with some of the posts above about seeing the screen etc., but all in all, definitely moving in the right direction!
Also, lol @ the alien video above, that would definitely freak me out to play that on the rift!

As a fan of The Matrix I'm actually scared how real it already is.
I mean beside the pixels visible on the matrix, foggy smudges on the lens and the graphics in most demos being not that great it already fools the brain perfectly.
i would really like a dk2 for asetto corsa.
but i would have hoped they would have released something that is not a DK by now.
