Based in the UK, Paul has been immersed in interactive entertainment for the best part of 27 years and has followed advances in gaming with a passionate fervour. His obsession with graphical fidelity over the years has had him branded a ‘graphics whore’ (which he views as the highest compliment) more than once and he holds a particular candle for the dream of the ultimate immersive gaming experience. Having followed and been disappointed by the original VR explosion of the 90s, he then founded RiftVR.com to follow the new and exciting prospect of the rebirth of VR in products like the Oculus Rift. Paul joined forces with Ben to help build the new Road to VR in preparation for what he sees as VR’s coming of age over the next few years.

    So how did it “feel”?

    I’m eagerly looking forward to hearing impressions! Though this will inevitably be compared to the Oculus Rift, I think it’s more valuable to know weather it provides a good experience as this device will have a very significant reach into the market. So far, it has gotten very good first-impressions, which is excellent for the new VR market. Given Sony’s reach, it should excite many gamers, and many developers that consider this new medium for the first time.

    I remember watching the old Datura demos, so it is obvious that Sony has been working on this tech for a long time. It is also great that they have paid attention to the innovations that Oculus has brought to the market and has introduced some notable innovations as well. I’m really eager to seeing how well they’ve done up until this point.
