Yes Marcio,your assumption is correct. I'm not totally blind. I do however have RP which has caused my low-vision and will cause my eventual blindness. I work as a web software developer/programmer. Interestingly enough you can build virtual reality with web technologies. "The Owl Field" is a 3D

Hi everyone, Although I appreciate it's not virtual reality in the manner people are discussing , but Jeffrey mentioned head tracking, which is one of the key components of current main stream VR on phones or console. We actually as blind gamers have something similar to this already, with

Shaun, Again you are so right on all of your just said! Like I said, whenever I talk about it, I make sure to also talk about how dangerous this can be and it should be considered before anything else. Now, well, what I wouldn't give to have the same experience you had with the headset :)

Shaun, Of course you are right! The idea of merging these two things into only one would be very dangerous. That's why, whenever this subject come in, I make sure to say that if we ever could get to that point, then it would have to be done very, very carefully, considering most (if not all) of
