What's with all the hate for it? Clearly it's not going to be an Occulus Rift beater, but it's the sort of project that would be awesome for schools and things :shrug:.

My cousin made one of these, got to try it last thursday. the 3d was so immersive it was making me really dizzy and disoriented especially on the rollercoaster demo. other than that, it would be awesome to have a flight demo with a bluetooth joystick. i didn't like how youtube worked on it but it was still really impressive.

I think it was sarcasm judging by the alliteration:

"....making me really dizzy and disoriented especially on the rollercoaster demo."

not sarcasm... was very dizzy. there is no peripheral vision so it ended up making me dizzy unless i looked directly ahead and down the track.
