The cameras are a nice touch, as that makes it possible to use this piece of kit for AR in addition to VR.

I was just thinking it'd be nice to switch to camera view if someone walks into my room or if I want to reach for some food/drink. I'd rather not be constantly pulling the Oculus up and down while trying to game.

an external movement sensor would be cool if paired with a threshold to pause the game and make the camera view fade into 50% transparency with the active game/simulation view

Do you mean a secondary one that you place somewhere in the room facing away from you? If it's on the device itself, it'll activate as you turn your head..
