    Hi folks,
    I just saw a video on ISRTV - "Oculus Rift Plus Green Screen - Mixed Reviews", listed on their main page.

    I clicked on the 6 min + video and it starts out showing a "green sheet or cover" at the front of the users steering wheel, THEN the race starts...........with him using the Rift..........................and believe it or not, he can see his own arms and steering wheel at the same time.................at least that's the way I viewed it................if this is so, geeze whiz, wouldn't that be a help for motion sim and especially flight motion simming?

    Take a look a see if I am viewing this correctly.... www.isrtv.com

    No, he runs with the rift and records it (without wheel and arms) at the same time he films wheel and arms only (the green sheet is for that) with a camera, probably a gopro on his head, and then mix it all in post processing

    OK - now I know...........thanks for informing me. I'm really going to go the VR route after it settles down and you guys make a decision which is the best alternative for a motion sim.........
    I've read about all the threads for information, but will not "bite the bullet" yet.

    Thanks again,
