It also doesn't feel at all like you're looking at something in front of you. It still feels like you've got 2 TV's strapped to your head.

I guess I'm old school and just play games with m&k or controller. DINOSAUR I am.

Geez I thought I was the only one that thought so! VR is not immersive at all, it literally feels like looking at a screen

I've never felt more sick than after trying the VR for the first time. GearVR on Samsung Galaxy S6. Never happened again though, regardless of how much time I spent in.

The main issue on this headset was that I felt like my head was really small, while turning. I think the camera was just rotating on it's own axis, or around a sphere that was way smaller than a human head.
