This is Tech I am really interested in for a number of reasons. If they can get the price right and the Ergonomics are as advertised they could expand beyond just gaming and get a wide spread into all kinds of indistrys. then it could finally be the game changer VR was supposed to be.
Beyond just 3D movies and even 4D experiences (

Where the Patron enters the theater and sits down to watch lets say Jurassic park they place on the rift head set. the credits role the movie the Trex Scene starts the T-rex gets right in there face and Roars a Base speaker in the seat give them that feeling of there insides going gooey with the deafening blast jets of bad breath are released in a blast of force air and spray of a water. Each step causes the seat to literally jump as the creature looks over the Audience when Grant gets out of the SUV flare in hand and leads to rex away.
Out of Entertainment already Military simulations in similar sets have been trialed by the USdod allowing Training in locations that normally preclude such like aboard ship. Oculus Rift was trialed by the Norwegion Army for use to aide drivers of M113 APC's by combining imaging from cameras on the hull. One could see future Aviators and vehicle drivers and Next generation turrets for vehicles both military and civilian could change massively.

a crane operator building a high rise has to climb to the operators booth often facing unnecessary dangers. Image a Crane operator sitting in a trailer at the base of the site reducing the additional insurance needed by having them work by remote yet still feel like they are in the Crane.
Future operations in Space where Armatures are used for space stations. or on the other end of the side of that coin Deep dving ROV's
