Virtual Reality was one of the biggest attractions at this year’s rAge 2016 expo, with nearly every big booth incorporating a VR peripheral in one way or another.
It’s clear that this is the next big thing in gaming, but how does the average gamer feel about VR?
We took to the show-floor to find out how everyday South Africans felt about VR:
“It’s cool – I wish I had spent more time with it but it was fun.” – Suvesh
“It was awesome, I’m definitely going to buy one.” – Daniel
“I like it but it’s too expensive. I’m also more of an Xbox guy.” – Bradley
“It was super fun but also made me feel dizzy. I’m still a bit dizzy now so I’m not sure if I will pick one.” – Sarah
“Batman was incredible, it’s probably my favourite thing I’ve seen or done today.” – Kimberly

I tried the Occulus Rift at a Flight Simulator show in the UK this weekend and it is incredible. Makes your stomach turn when you roll or bank very steeply and then look to the side. I was a bit disappointed by the low resolution though (yes they had the latest commercial version) and there is a bit too much pixellation to my liking, making some of the instruments hard to read. Think I’m going to wait for the cheaper, lighter, sharper (and wireless) next version before i take the plunge, but it is already awesome.
