Introduce yourself and seek an audience with the >leader in VR technology! I saw your product at the CES show!!! I would advise you NOT to make statements about TRUE VR to the VR experts. To tell you the truth, when I got back from CES I was going to post a note about your product stating that it was the biggest insult to VR I had seen to date. You may fool the general consumers but not the pros!!! The HMD I saw was compatible with the game systems mentioned because it is just a mono TV screen in a cheap plastic headband to make it LOOK LIKE a HMD, bad joke!!! Next, the head tracking was one axis only!!! left or right!!! real funny. I am not the type to slam products, but I must make exception in this case. I may be wrong, maybe VictorMaxx Amusements, Inc. has a product in the lab someplace, but what I saw at the show was a joke and looked like a willful intent to commit consumer rape!!! Ronald J.
