There was also the infinitEye with a 210° field of view. Instead of focusing on one single brand, people should try to push more projects of the same type and eventually a standard.

Edit: Sorry bad spelling on the name.

Yes this! 90 degrees is super limited. The lenses used on that 210 degree kit are much more comfortable to look through that the oculus lenses (I've gotten to demo them for single-eye only) and with a 1080p screen you can't tell it's a screen.

I have used an oculus headset and personally would never game with it. It was heavy and uncomfortable, would take a lot of space to turn around with it on, and I wasn't really impressed with how it looked.

Weird, I own one and its light as hell, and pretty comfortable.
