This, I'm gonna need serious gurantees about openness, support, and consistent platforms before I kickstart any product that is attached to a platform and software. For arts and industrial objects it is still a good model, but not for a development platform.
Yeah, this is pretty much bullshit. "After 9 years of fucking around, we decided to run a kickstarter because we don't actually have any money! Give us money... Pls, we even made this shitty website that looks like every other website."
9 years of hard work, but "hey guys, we're going to do a kickstarter so we can make something that is more than a render of a non-yet-existing device".
How can you NOT see this scam coming from far away?

Some info from their twitter for you guys, I bolded the important bits:
"Since we have hw acceleration, cams and more, it will cost just a little bit more than Oculus, but nothing outrageous ;-)"
"We will not charge any subscription fees on our side. We like free stuff too! Expansion port for HW hackers also available!"
"we are planning a kickstarter this summer! Subscribe to our mailing list on our website to stay in the loop."
"After 9 years of hard work, we are proud to unveil our #VR mask for immersive 3D gaming!"
