I am looking forward as are other to the release of the Oculus CV1
A few great games are coming out not related to FS but show how some ideas might filter through to our hobby
A VR theme park called the The VOID is set to open sometime this year
It will start in Salt Lake City but will spread from there as it grows
Flying & gaming in VR is a wonderful experience but this VOID takes it to another level again
Just watch the video on the page of the link below, it is .... words fail me

Here is something for those who are enthusiasts with creating cockpits
The link is for a promo video only 2 minutes long
Towards the end there is a flight simulator with a difference
Would love to have one at home

For a really indepth exploration of the VOID the creator gives a 1 hour seminar here

Stunning 8-) but I take it with VOID it will be an experience at a venue and not suitable for home use ? Unless you have a big home lol. The future of VR is very bright and exciting. I can't wait :D

Will make an effort to visit a VOID centre when one opens in Germany
For first tier centres UK and France are also included as well as several US cities like LA & NY
This info is contained in a Dutch VR seminar - day 4 late in 2015 - YouTube
It should give developers some ideas for FS addons both HW & SW
