I still don't see the point, beyond the novelty tbh. For one thing, you're essentially blind, possibly deaf while using the bloody thing. I'd spill my coffee all over fucking place.

I think it'll be a treat for the survival horror genre and racing games, but wasted on stuff like Bit.Trip.Runner and the like

And immersion, at the expense of all your senses and most importantly, fresh coffee, only really sounds good for the novelty. How do you think them hours clock up? I'm wrapping, brewing and other shit that having an alt-tab and not a screen glued to one's face enables you to do. Thus reckoning I'd get fed-up with the limitations pretty quickly.

Then again, haven't tried it. Only assuming how I'd react once the back-step in visual fidelity sinks in and the novelty wears off.

This shit is meant less for games than other (cooler) stuff...

That I can go with. It's the gaming industry being able to actually make use of it in a non-shit way I can't see happening, outside of a few select titles.

I can't see it being difficult to implement for racing and flight/space sims which is honestly the reason I'd want one.

The HoloLens made me think of the Lego 3D catalogue app. If you haven't tried it yet, see if you can find the most recent Lego catalogueand download the app for it.

Some models in the cataloguehave this AR icon next to them. Aim your phone's camera at it while running the app and it'll detect the AR icon and show an animated version of the model correctly superimposed over the camera view. It looks like it's actually moving over your desk or whatever. In the end it's sort of pointless, but really cool to see nonetheless.

Here's an example of what you see on your phone's display:

Fucking eh, you could get a Golf GTI sim.
