And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Our son has one and I tried it. Total immersion, a little disorienting. This could be advantageous in 3D CAD work. Walking around inside a building that hasn't been built yet, looking for problems. Since there is no "scale" in CAD (everything is drawn full size) you could even walk around in things at the molecular level. Wonder what the backside of a fuel valve on the left engine of a P38 looks like under high pressure? Draw it up, don the goggles, then get in there and check it out. Don't forget your snorkel, hate to see you "virtually" drown. heh
Uh-oh. Deal killer: From the questions down by the reviews:
Why is a facebook account required? Answer:"After January 1, 2023, we will end support for Oculus accounts. If you choose not to merge your accounts at that time, you can continue using your device, but full functionality will require a Facebook account." By DG on October 21, 2020 Facebook account is required so that they can collect all the date about that you are doing in the vertical world including browsing history, activities and link it to your Facebook account to make it easy to track you and your activities. In the legal agreement, read line 4 and 5 which clearly says they will share this date with 3rd party as well. When you use PlayStation or Microsoft account on their device, its only used to sell you games from app store. but Facebook collects everything and sells your data as per its business model. So providing your data to a data sales company is the profit they are making and you are getting the product for a affordable price. Hope its very clear why FB account is needed. see less By SKD007 on September 22, 2020 Be warned If you later choose to delete your Facebook profile, they will turn your gaming console into a paperweight... you will not have any access to the games you already purchased, do not buy an oculus, wait until mid year 2021 until another company comes out with a wireless steam based vr headset.
