I'm getting too old I guess, or at least I can't explain otherwise why I'm constantly shaking my head over a razer forge tv user having to depend on gods Googles grace wether he will be able to do something that was already common 15 years ago > connect a harddrive via usb

The more VR the merrier.

Well, except for that AntVR thing and this *cough* 'Oculus killer' (for which the makers make some of the same patently spurious claims) -

It's a generic tablet mounted in an enormous helmet. No lenses, FOV must be dreadful. Makers waffle a lot of BS about a '2k resolution projection system' which isn't in evidence, and the price is more than an Oculus Devkit.

Their CES booth is right next to Oculus. Is this some kind of humorous money pile-burning exercise?
