I'm fine with restricted visibility from the cockpit. I fly by radar and like the cockpit bulky. But with the Oculus Rift, will it be possible to lean forward to see behind the support beams?asked by Razor Xerox

Okay so yes, when you're wearing the Oculus and you're looking around the cockpit, the whole cockpit is obviously rendered in 3D and will move and you'll get that wonderful immersion and stereoscopic space. The Oculus isn't particularly great on lateral motion, so if I go like this or like that, it doesn't really have the sensors to be able to detect that just yet. But whenever the version two does, then we'll support that. But essentially we track wherever you're looking, your headspace in 3D, and mapping the cockpit. So yeah, it'll be pretty immersive. It'll be pretty great.
