A first test in iracing using the Ocululs Rift together with the SimXperience Motion Simulator. 

We might not had the Rift callibrated correctly and the motion profile was untweaked,
but these are our first impressions:

"Crazy immersive. Resolution isnt there yet for proper fast gameplay, and the FOV was hardcoded to high, but man... this thing has potential. It really puts you right in the middle of the enviroment you are in. Really messes with you, hehe. My best example is, first time I tried it, sitting in the McLaren MP4 GT3. When I was finished and had to take my headset off, I look down left where we hang it on the frame, but I was still wearing the rift, so I was trying to hang it on the Mclarens rollcage. 

Very impressive. It will revolutionize gaming for sure. I´m in line to get one when released."

Excuse the bad lighting. Filmed this in the evening.
