Oculus Rift will be the most revolutionary thing that gamers have plugged into their computers since the Ethernet cable.

For those who have not heard of it, the Oculus Rift is a prototype wearable 3D stereoscopic VR headset, which also features head motion tracking (similar to the tracking you get from TrackIR, which is
discussed here).
Here's the official website:

And the kickstarter page for the beta 'dev. kit' they're producing now (they're wayyy past their goal already):

From what I've read about it, this thing sounds really awesome, and the technology is quite close to being 'there' for producing consumer models.
Thoughts?
