How about you join forces with Occulus and release special Occulus VR helmet in a shape of Valkyrie helmet? You could put headphones inside too.

they actually talked about this at the intellectual property round table at Eve Vegas!

I say the same thing now that I did then... Shut up and take my money!

This alone would get me to buy one of these even if it cost 30% more than a standard

CCP takes great effort to keep a level playing field in this game from the technical standpoint of computer hardware limitations.
I wonder what the introduction of VR visors / helmets would do to that?
If they can be implemented without them giving a player an inherent advantage then I am all for it.
On the other hand if using these gives a small segment of the games players an advantage then I would have to say no thank you.

You realize that this would only be usable in Eve Valkyrie right?

But does it have to?

Our camera drones allready get more freedom to move around in the next expansion.
Extending your UI to a 180° view if you like also sounds fun.

Have you the ability to think critically before you post?
CCP has shown they have the chops to use this technology because of Valkyrie, what prevents then from adding it to the internet spaceship we call EvE Online?
