Now to be fair, when you look at the video, and other stuff on their channel, this is clearly arcade quality for the home and would dial up the immersion by 10x just standing or sitting on a couch. It also seems to be having dev support targeting 30 launch games, and comes with a better headset than the Quest 2 with a wider FOV.
On paper this may seem to many people to be worth the over $2000 in price for the fact that you will almost actually be in the game world as yourself moving your arms and walking around, or running and dodging shooting zombies or aliens. It's the expensive arcade VR amusement park experience for at a consumer budget, and shrunk down for the home.
Based on the video, it almost seems to good to be true. Which is why I would recommend waiting for impressions first to early adopters who receive it first. It seems they are committed to this in the long run and will try to get more compatibility with headsets, so if impressions are good, this may be the best way to play VR games bar none, unless you're not in the physical shape to walk or run away while shooting zombies.
You can walk, run, spin, jump, and the set-up of the machine prevents any incidents from happening. Imagine running around waiving a sword against an army in a VR experience, and then you had to run back to the fortress before reinforcements arrived as flaming arrows are falling from above and you have to dodge as you return. I mean the possibilities with this machine are endless.
If the machine is good and is as well executed as shown.
Granted, you are still asking for a big price, but if this thing ends up having people singing it's praises, this would be a better deal with Pico or HTC on your head, than a $3000 Apple. In fact, this would be a hell of a deal in comparison, if this machine is as well executed as shown.
However, I am a biittttttt skeptical if this machine is as good as in the video. I'm waiting for those early adopters who get the machine to showcase it and give the breakdown. Because if it's the real deal, it's a $24,000 or more VR amusement experience in the home for less than $2600. Which would be insane.
Here is the recent video references, that shows off what the Omni One can do,
