The first day I hooked the Rift Dev kit up to the Razer Hydra I nearly broke my monitor trying to juggle virtual balls. It was awesome.

One of the most incredible experiences has been playing as the Team Fortress 2 pyro. Perceiving the 3d-volume of the flame flowing out from the gun was a serious "wow" moment.

There's a lot to be excited about here. It sounds like the resolution is going up and the latency is coming down significantly in the next revision. Carmack's devlog tweets[0] are just fascinating. The team is filled with incredible devs. I'm cautiously optimistic that believable VR is possible and, if so, I'm pretty sure Oculus will make the thing that fools your brain first.
