So basically a paper version of the dive? http://www.durovis.com/index.html

On a side note the dive was much better working than the occulus rift, tried them booth last year. Smartphones are really capable for a vr system.

You must be kidding! Latency is way lower with the Rift... Sensors on phones are like a joke.

Just saying what i experienced.

The Rift felt like 0,4L Jägermeister for me. It may be possible that this unit had some technical problems from being used the whole day but even then i would prefer the dive for being more comfortable to wear.

You probably used the old one, by the way... the newer version should be way better in all aspects.

Wouldn't parts of the cardboard blocking the view as one moves his/her eyes left or right? Or is the brain supposed to make up for that ?

Saw this referenced as "Oculus Thrift" on another gaming site.
