Got to use the HTC the other day...
Impressed: Its speed, motion control reaction etc. After a moment and I got into things it felt natural - but count me in the camp that I would rather sit in a 360 rotating chair than wonder around and shuffle a few steps one way or the other.
Not Impressed: field of view - very circular edges and it didn't seem "that much more" than my stupid phone in a 25$ ebay vr headset... and Resolution: I could see pixles easy, their non standard arrangement (or lenses distortion) was very distracting and again, didn't seem that much better than my phone lol -also my glasses did not fir well what so ever and it was not good.
Looking forward to trying the the rift, its suppose to be higher resolution and fov than the HTC right?

Same resolution, but they use different lens types. Supposedly the Rift looks crisper, but every head unit out right now is pretty 'low res' when you compare how games look on a 4k monitor(or even a 1080p display). It's just very obvious when it's that close to your face. The FOV on the Vive doesn't bother me when I'm actually playing something, but when I'm just chilling and looking around it's definitely noticeable.
Next gen head displays and graphic cards that have hardware catering to them will likely be much better. I'm looking forward to it!

I got to play with a Microsoft HoloLens last night. It was neat for an AR platform. It scans your surroundings really quick like I'm Terminator in a biker bar.
He doesn't have it for gaming purposes though. Hes working on enterprise type solutions.
Want one right now? $5000 please!

while not VR this is pretty cool, you can upload screenshots taken with ansel nvidia and turn it into 360 web panoramas, this is from watch dogs 2 but getting closer and closer to "wait... is that real..."

HTC expected to unveil HTC Vive 2 at CES 2017, says report
HTC is likely to unveil its second-generation VR device, the HTC Vive 2, at the upcoming CES 2017 to be held in Las Vegas from January 1-5, according to a Taipei-based Central News Agency (CNA) report.
The Vive 2 is expected to utilize a wireless transmitter to connect with PC systems and come with two 4K displays with a monitor refresh rate of 120Hz instead of 90Hz for the current model, said the report.
Meanwhile, HTC also reduced recently the price of its HTC Vive devices sold in the China market by 10%, apparently to pave the way for the launch of the new Vive 2, indicated the report.
