I have only had my rift for a few (busy with work) days so I will just provide a few very brief impressions.
Firstly I am not the ideal candidate for this unit, my IPD is low (by standards) at around 60mm and I am stereo blind (do not perceive 3D in real life, funny thing is I only found this out about a week ago[now I know why stereograms, 3D movies, 3DS never worked for me], I am 37... and was born with Amblyopia but was never told about the stereo/3D part).
But goddam, using the rift, my brain has been somewhat forced to use both eyes concurrently (albeit for only brief moments of time) and the effect I get, I could only describe as 3D, well the image has a lot more depth to it than anything I see in real life. While I cannot hold this 3D image when it presents itself it's really a WOW moment. I have found while not perfect the B cups seems to work with me best and provide the closest sweet spot.
I have tried a bunch of demos but the 2 stand out game changing moments for me have been Elite (yeah everyone knows this) but also World of Diving. I used to dive but had to quit due to sinus problems, playing World of Diving gave me goosebumps a number of times and was up there with Elite in terms of immersion/effectiveness.
I can't wait to see how this tech evolves over the coming years, exciting times
