Followup
Can only use for about 30 minutes before it gets too hot. When this happens it pops up a message telling me to take a break. I'm going to have to hook up a small fan to cool it down.
The lenses will occasionally fog. Again, I need some airflow.
When it is on, along with headphones, the sense of isolation and immersion is total.
I use reading glasses for near stuff, but the built in lens adjustment wheel corrects for this and I don't need them.
You NEED a swivel chair when using it. If not, neck strain from trying to look behind you all the time.
The music visualization app is great. Easy to get lost in it. As are some of the sample videos. Flying with the Blue Angels is amazing, swimming with the sharks scary. I'm going to break down a buy a few apps.
You can surf the web on it. It presents as multiple LARGE screens (10 feet across or so). You can adjust perceived size and distance. I can see individual pixels, barely, kind of looking at an old TV slightly too close, but that annoyance fades when I get distracted into it. Center, left, right for multiple tabs. The "cursor" is moved by shifting your focal point via head movement (no eye tracking), and a game pad like structure is on the right temple to use as a forward/back/up/down and "click/enter" swipe mechanism (no physical clicks, just finger slide and tap), along with a single back button over it.
