The guys over at PCGamer and CVG got to have some hands on time with the Oculus Rift VR headset at Gamescom. The headset is currently still under development but already is supported by Doom 3: BFG Edition and John Carmack has confirmed that Doom 4 will support the VR peripheral.
The Oculus Rift started off as a Kickstarter project and has surpassed the $250,000 goal by over $1.45 million. The Oculus Rift is labelled as “the first immersive virtual reality headset for video games.” Below is the hands-on video of the Oculus Rift.

My only question is when is the final version going to be in my clammy hands
How practical will this be? A headset which might be super immersive but can’t really be used with friends unless they also have a pair. That will look rather weird, everyone looking like space cadets shouting at each other.
I want to know what the retail price would be
Interesting
normally when a screen is to close to your eyes its hard to see things .. wouldnt mind having a go and seeing how this works 
interesting …
Hope I wont break my neck, from all the head turns
