Which headset would you consider to be the closest to the Oculus from
the previous gen?

I really don't see how the Oculus gear is anything other than a
progression of what was previously on the market. True, the others did
not succeed in the same way that Oculus has, but that is more of a
matter of timing.

I don't know if I agree with that. It's a pretty big leap forward
from what was previously available. I'm not saying they created it
in a vacuum, but I find it hard to downplay the achievements of
the teams involved. It's not like they just bought a bunch of
readily available components, banged them together and out came a
headset.

There were also many other VR companies before Oculus. I've been
watching the VR scene for at least two decades, what Oculus has
benefited from is the advancement motion tracking, higher
resolution displays, processing, etc (technologies not specific
to VR), Oculus really didn't do anything groundbreaking here.
The technology has been maturing for a long time, the masses are
just starting to take notice - and large companies are following
that interest.

Little more to the back story. The kid had some US DOD
friends and labs that gave him access to the latest
technology in the field.

Look at Palmer Luckey - this kid was banging together VR
goggles in his bedroom, and everyone said the kind of virtual
reality goggles that are now shipping were impossible to make
just a couple of years ago. Now that he pushed it forward and
figured it out, HTC is making a headset, Sony is making a
headset..
