I'd say this will limit people to voice chat only, except for particularly good touch-typers.

I can type blind. Bring on the immersive VR!

Couple it with a Leap Motion gesture controller and ability to grab objects in the 3D space. Yummm

I have astigmatism. I somehow doubt it will work for people with that problem.

The FAQ addresses wearing glasses with the headset. I don't see why it wouldn't work with any standard prescription for astigmatism.

I have always wanted something like this for SL. I see a lot of very cool builds in SL and I want to see what its like with Oculus Rift!

Wolf Baginski, I have heard that they are working on interchangeable lenses for people with eye problems. Someone even suggested some kind of adjustable oil-filled lens that they now make.

You would be able to wear it just as if you had no eye trouble. It would be super cool if they have this ready by the time the consumer version ships!
