Oculus Rift
I want to try Oculus Rift. Decades ago I played one of the early VR games, in the ASUC store at Cal, and not long after that, friends and I went to a shop where we played as a team in a VR battle simulation. Even that rudimentary tech was immersive for me–an extraordinary feeling. Oculus Rift sounds intriguingly overwhelming. I don’t want to play the Alien game, though, or anything scary!
