When Oculus started, they were simply a kickstarter campaign out of a garage- no product, nothing, zip, zilch, and just an idea and a promise. -They raised over a million bucks. Where were you back then crying that 'they have no product!' or 'it's bullshit' or an impossible idea? So, they were merely an idea and a ski mask and cell phone. But yet you won't extend the same to another company pushing 4K limits with an idea due in a year? It's obviously a campaign no doubt, but your hypocrisy smells a bit to me like excrement.
It's why I'm saying you work for a rival company. You can't stand to see a competitor come out and get funded by people eager to see the technology be release -again in a year. sheesh-
Haha, I wish I worked for a VR company. Unfortunately I'm just an enthusiast.It's why I'm saying you work for a rival company. You can't stand to see a competitor come out and get funded by people eager to see the technology be release -again in a year. sheesh-
When Oculus launched their kickstarter they had video demonstrations of people using the Rift, and they had gushing endorsements from Gabe Newell, John Carmack, Michael Abrash and other huge names in gaming. And the way kickstarter is set up, if they don't get fully funded they don't get paid, and there's a significant degree of accountability.
This "company" just has a stolen render, impossible claims, and the means to donate untraceably and unrefundably. Hah.
Anyway this argument is futile so I'm going to stop posting here. I'd point anyone who comes here to this blog post: http://www.roadtovr.com/alert-horizon-v-hmd-legitimacy-concerns-grow-know-far/
So, it seems you're obviously coming from a different perspective, likely the HMD VR crowd who in gengeral wants to see a finished and pretty render to place in the news.. Or maybe you didn't read in their response on reddit that their site was only up for the past 3 days and google indexed them the first day resulting in an unfinished website and tons of pre-orders?
Unlike the VR community, people here are throwing money(bitcoins and cryptos) at these miner companies with little or nothing more than an announcement from them that they are developing a miner. Sometimes they win, other times they don't. But without that, there wouldn't have been a KNC, Butterfly labs (good riddance), Alpha Tech, etc... etc... etc....
So that's what's *great* about the crypto community, unlike the VR gaming one.

You're right, I am coming from the VR community. Even a passing familiarity with the VR hardware space makes it abundantly clear how completely bullshit the Horizon4k VR headset is. And even if you're not at all familiar, growing up in the internet age fosters a pretty robust scammer intuition, which I should hope is going absolutely batshit right now. So I thought I'd just share some of those insights for those who may not be aware, because the people who commit these scams damage the public trust in VR (or in any space the scammers infiltrate). And if I can take even a dollar out of their pockets, I'll gladly try.
But hey, what are you gonna do, speculators gonna speculate.
Yes, 4K screens are coming. But you may have noticed, those rumored smartphones are being released by Samsung, not by a company that literally registered its website a week ago. And it's so great Horizon4k doesn't need to show a devkit version of their headset, because of course this company no one's ever heard of got it perfect the first time around. Unlike Sony, who has no experience building hardware and keeps screwing it up. But the 4K screens aren't the only reason Horizon4K's claims look laughably stupid.
It's partly the low effort on their website. Just look at that headset render! It's literally a horrible MSpaint edit of the Infiniteye VR headset and of one of the first Google images results for "horizon". Yeah, that looks like a product that's ready for market.
If anything, I guess it's good that the product is so obviously fake, because then the only people who'll send their money are the ones who deserve to be scammed (not talking about you guys in the thread, you're clearly just hyping up the 'product'). Happy scamming!

Wow, just wow. That anyone would even consider sending money after reading the claims on that website is just mind-boggling. Might as well be called the ScamView 9000: The World's First Totally-Real-And-Absolutely-Not-Made-Up-And-Impossibly-Awesome VR Headset, brought to you by NigerianPrince Incorporated. If you think you're ever gonna get a product, or even a refund, good freakin' luck.
(It's important to do a little bit of research on VR hardware before buying - there's a reason the two multibillion dollar-backed teams working on VR headsets haven't released yet, and that's because building a good VR headset just happens to be very very difficult.)
