You could just save yourself the money and headache of this crap and just do some LSD.

I personally wouldn't call something what THE John Carmack has worked on crap.

I would definitely want to try it. Like Arvuti said, seeing a game itself instead of monitor would be awesome and build immersion even more. But world is not ready for technology like this, maybe after 2-4 years.

The market for this thing is going to be super small, and the thing itself is probably going to cost quite alot of money, it's too risky and a giant waste of resources for a small indie company to put money into this.

Have you been to the future ? If so, can you tell me when half life 3 will be released.
For 275 bucks you can get the prototype for it, i'm pretty sure that the version what will be available for consumers will be like 100-150 bucks or something.
Nice mindset you have there buddy, disregard anything new and cool because it costs money. It's not some random junk what adds almost nothing to the game experience, this would help out with immersion so much. Besides wasn't there a novit falcon version of penumbra black plague, that thing never caught on.

I like the idea of immersion by using this new piece of technology.
But it should be Frictional Games choice to choose if their games should be compatible with this.
