But in the case of when I played The Inpatient from Supermassive Games and Sony, none of that was the case. For this demo I just had to pick using head tracked pointing and the X button. The lights are bright, the sounds are loud, and the constant shuffling of bodies makes it hard to really focus on the experience at hand.

That said, Futurlab ‘s virtual reality slot racing title Tiny Trax is still an unexpected title to find in the upcoming release roster for Sony’s PlayStation VR headset. Not only for the sense of presence that virtual reality brings, but also for the natural control head tracking offers.

On one hand, I’d tell you that Housemarque’s incredible arcade classic is still intact in this latest version that graces Sony’s new VR headset. We could do a full review of Super Stardust Ultra VR , but it would be a pretty convoluted thing. So Invasion Mode doesn’t really work like Stardust at all.

Originally a Dreamcast game way back when, it’s bumped around–mostly on Sony platforms–over the years. The game uses both the controller and head tracking to aim. So, the controller was good for rapid movements across the screen while your head is great for fine aiming. Remember Rez ?

Even with those caveats, the experience was worlds removed from the torture of trying to watch a movie in my Sony HMZ-T1. For one, the Sony isn’t technically a VR headset, and for two, I never finished watching a movie in it. On top of that, the entire idea of a non-head tracked head-mounted movie viewer is flawed.

The same goes for Valve, Apple, and Sony, whose established presence here would allow them to cut into the high-end section of the market without much difficulty.

Unlike in the case of PlayStation’s Move or Xbox’s Kinect, it seems like Sony is actually getting serious about VR. Instead of using a scheme similar to Rigs or Resident Evil 7 (head tracked and analog stick aiming) the game asks you to hold up the controller and aim it in place of the Aim. It feels silly and awkward.

All the big names in tech are working on their own devices, including Apple, Sony, Samsung, and Google. We do not want to simply exchange a regular camera for a VR camera and use head-tracking as a gimmick. The recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas made it clear: virtual reality is taking on serious forms !
