There's probably just too much legacy technology on the pc to make it work plus all the latency of driving the display. A self contained mobile solution that can be qa'd at the factory may be the only way to go.
We've reached the amazing time when a serious VR-capable computer is, screen included, a half-inch thick and wide enough to cover your field of view. Just strap it and some thin optics to your face, and you don't have to worry about yanking your computer off your desk.
Yeah, been there done that. Having to constantly remember the wire does detract from the experience.
I wonder if the 980 would make that much of a difference, or if the i7 is that different. You'd think CPU wouldn't matter so much, and I did get high speed memory.
Makes me wonder what it would take to graft the positional tracking from the DK2 onto something like Samsung Gear.
I got a GTX 970 for graphics. (Which is so big it won't let me close the case BTW)
