Cool, but eh, I'll stick to simple old keyboard and mouse/controller gaming with a normal monitor. Motion controls like this are cool and all, but I don't really see them replacing what we have, simply because it already works wonders. It's certainly a neat little thing, but the "wow" factor can only last so long, as demonstrated by the Wii, PS Move and Kinect.
I do support the work put into it, though. I can only wonder what may come next.

The motion control is only to add a sense of realism to the camera's movement, following your head's rotation. You still play with a keyboard and mouse. Think of it as a more immersive monitor that's 3d and covers your peripheral vision.

Yeah, in that sense, that's why it's certainly cool. But I think I'm too used to monitors being used for games and similar forms of entertainment, while the whole immersive view is more so reserved for outside activities. Maybe I'm just too afraid of being sick with this sort of view, just like with 3D, though. I'll see if I ever get to try one out in person.

Yeah, i think monitors are for games, and the whole immersive view is for your eyes.
that is exactly what i was thinking. if the minecraft rift starting version came with super hd shaders and smart moving mod i wouldn't be able to tell if life or minecraft was real.
To be honest, the Oculus Rift doesn't excite me very much. It seems like a gimmick, at most. Don't get me wrong, it's a neat idea... I just can't see it being widely used.
Huh... it looks exactly like regular Minecraft except shaky, crooked, blurry, harder to actually use, and with a useless gimmick that everyone already got tired of a year ago slapped on
Youtuber Vaecon takes us on a walk through Minecraft using the Oculus Rift, and some tweaking by Jademalo. Give it a look!
Do you have a Rift, and want to try this out for yourself? Jademalo explains how to set it up right here. Enjoy!
The dev version i think is $275. correct me if im wrong though. The consumer version is expected to be out in like 2014.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
