that's why she didn't snap the head off too quickly, I imagine. I assume blood draining keeps things fresher and cleaner to butcher later.

Matt Berry presents a series of interviews with the greats of the
stage, screen and music world.
This week Matt Berry brings you his interview with musician, composer,
producer and artist Brian Eno. Berry sat down with Brian Eno at the
peak of his creativity back in October 1976 at a recording studio
situated in the French countryside. Quite defensive from the outset,
Eno did eventually thaw to give me quite an insight into the man,
and more importantly, the artist.

And the Vive is far and away the best - as you'd expect for something that expensive.
The Playstation version is more than adequate, especially given how much cheaper it is. I certainly prefer it to the DK versions of the Rift (I haven't tried the consumer version).
Things get very shit when you're down at the "slot a smartphone into it" end of the market though.
Of all of them, the one I can see the most use for outside of gaming is Hololens, but that's fundamentally a different concept.

Cyberzone: Craig Charles presiding over the pinnacle of computer graphics circa 1993.
I worked on the game engine for that show, a system known as "Superscape" which was by the company of the same name.
The show was produced by Broadsword TV, the people behind Knightmare, initially for never-aired ITV pilot but eventually commissioned by BBC2's head of yoof, Janet Street-Porter.

PSVR is frankly bloody amazing given the price of a complete setup, even if you buy a PS4 Pro. Slightly annoying that they've slashed the price of the headset and camera bundle and included Wipeout before I've actually paid off wot I bought! (Though Argos 0% credit is OK).
What's bloody annoying is the lack of video to watch in 3D; the services that do offer it just list shite like C&W concerts, walking round tech shows, rock climbing and poverty docs. And they nearly all expect you to be able to turn 360° rather than allowing for you to be seated and look forward because you have a fucking trunk cable up your back like every VR system you could be watching it on has.
There are a few CGI demos to watch, but all the services insist on streaming rather than letting you download, so they all look shit and blurry. And I've yet to be able to get anything from YouTube to run in PSVR at all.
Yet as usual, the pr0n industry is a decade ahead with the tech and free stuff as they know how their business works and aren't operating under any 'new-media' delusional bullshit. So who are the real cnUts and w@nkers in this business?
( , Thu 21 Jun 2018, 16:24, Reply)

The best thing about the Playstation one is the physical design. The headband tightens smoothly in a halo around the base of the skull and the crown of your forehead, then the goggles just hang down in front of your face. It is far, far more comfortable to wear than a massively front-heavy box that tries to strap tightly to the front of your face, where all the weight plus all the tension of the strap comes to rest on your cheekbones.
Also, I don't think the Playstation one is making anyone feel more seasick than any other. Maybe some games on the non-pro dropping to 60 fps might be to blame, but I think it's more because it's opening it up to far more people than the hardcore tech-adopters who jump on the PC-based ones, that it's just finding more people who don't quite get into it as much as others.
There's also a big difference for your brain to get around between something like Battlezone where you're sat in a flat and level cockpit and Eve where you're constantly heaving and rolling around visually but without the physical sensations to back it up.

I've been impressed with the gearVR despite the obvious technical limitations. As a media consumption device it is great. Resident evil 7 on psvr is also legitimately terrifying. Any game with a sit down cockpit view seems to be perfect. The tech will only improve.
