WMR has been around a while now. There have been some issues with specific use cases (controllers behind the head, dark room and green screens) but on the whole the tracking seems to be acceptable and worth the convenience of not having external sensors.
We should all try before we buy of course but by now I think we should accept that this works a lot more often than it doesn't!
I am sure it does work more often than it doesn't but coming from a full 360 degree tracking of rift (or vive) ...........
I totally get if you only care about driving, flying or pad vr it's a different matter, then this hmd is almost a no brainer

So frustrating that the bloody thing only has 2 cameras, I couldn't possibly put up with the WVR tracking!!! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

wow that looks amazing.i so wish oculus had used that panel in riftS... personally i would happily throw an extra £100 into the ring to have that in my headset. Like @thesnowdog i could not get on with the tracking or controllers however.
Those pics are stunning!
The short cord puts me off.
If I was only a simmer I think I'd be all over this.
Would also like to see how this display looks during movement. Ben of Road to VR had complained about what he calls 'Mura' causing the display to look 'muddy' under motion.
Yes - it looks like the release is delayed while they look into some issues.You cant buy one anywhere
Looks good.
