This is extremely interesting. Pretty impressive, actually. I wasn't expecting this level of quality.

I see this as a great opportunity and industry in the future. I'm surprised Oculus themselves and Facebook haven't teased any sort of OS layer on top of the VR environment.

Really interesting to see this coming from a digital agency / consultancy.

What I would really like to know, is how far along development of this thing really is at the moment. The "preorder" button leads to an IndieGogo page which mentions expected delivery in June 2015 and aside from a really well executed landing page with impressive videos and interface shots, there is little detail about the state of the project.

The experience seems a little bit heavy for me. People might get tired quickly of operating a similar flow, but I'm sure it has many other uses (than browsing youtube videos).

Interested to see how this compares to Samsung Gear VR ( http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/gearvr/index.html ) which combines Galaxy Note 4 and Oculus Rift and is made by Samsung & Oculus together.

Having watched the John Carmack technical presentation on Gear VR, and the importance of a low-persistance display, which only AMOLED can do, I'd say the Gear VR should be superior.

It's interesting that they are using the Polish "Ć" character in their logo. Reading it out with the "Ć" character pronounced correctly makes it sound a bit funny. This is how it should sound: http://www.forvo.com/word/%C4%87/
