I want the visor and the headtracking, and support in some actual existing games like Portal 2. Half-Life 2? Doom? Skyrim? The myriads of video games out there? Which games are actually supported? How many actual games support the HTC Vive? Can I play Portal 2 with it? The actual original Portal 2, not some mod. All this augmented reality stuff is completely useless cruft. You know, like what Oculus Rift essentially does. A VR visor (with headtracking) is good for playing video games, normal video games, while sitting on the couch or at a desk. That agumented reality crap is not what a VR visor is good for. As a player you are essentially confined to a laughably small space you can't just run around the place shooting people. (Essentially, the game has to be seriously limited in how you can move and what you can do. Not only is this completely impractical, it also seriously limits game design.

Nobody wants to play video games for hours while standing and walking around. In fact, it's even more dangerous than the Kinect, because you can't actually see where you are walking, so you will just end up stumbling onto furniture, hitting walls with your hands, falling over and hurting yourself or damaging property.ДЄnd all this danger for what, exactly? How long do you seriously think you will be entertained by this? An hour? Maybe two? Then you'll just shove it onto a shelf to gather dust while you go back to the couch or desk to play some actual games. Exactly as useless, exactly as long-lived, and exactly as dangerous. This is making a cool and practical idea into just another Kinect. You know, games that you would really want to play with VR goggles, like Portal/Portal2, Half-Life 2, Doom, Skyrim. playing augmented reality games made precisely for the system. People rearranging furniture to make room, installing sensors all over the place, walking around. Look at all those promotional videos about the HTC Vive on Steam.
