Will ESO be doing anything with Virtual Reality?

I was reading about VR earlier, more specifically games that will be compatible with project morpheus, and noticed FFXIV (another mmorpg) is going to be compatible.

So this makes me wonder if eso has any thoughts about going to VR?

    The game doesn't even have a working physics engine from what I have been able to tell.

    No buckets at wonky angles and if you walk into a chain, it's like walking into a wall.

    I would doubt if VR is something possible for the game or the programmers tbh. Different skill sets for mmo don't you know ;)

    The abbreviation "VR" is too much loaded with "Veteran Ranks"-discussions... I honestly thought "not another one of those topics" on clicking the title...

    OP, you should change VR to Virtual Reality. Everyone will read it as "Veteran Rank"

    Virtual Reality. Like the Oculus Rift etc. It would be cool but I don't think it will be practical in ESO.

    You mean these games where you have glasses instead of a screen and sensors as controllers ?

    Well I'm not well informed about those but it seems to me it's still niche technology, nothing ready yet for a top MMO...

    You want to reach for third step while you've barely gotten on the first step.

    That way I see ESO as of right now trying to get Virtual Reality working.
    Today we make our stand. Today we take back the Ruby Throne, which is ours by ancient right and the blessings of the Divines.

    I always call the occulus or anything that is similar that calls its self "Virtual Reality" Immersive Reality or Immersive Gaming.

    Virtual Reality means literally what it says yet the devices provide nothing even close to that experience, it's really just up close to your face with sensors grabbing your head's and hands orientation.

    Pretty much I don't like it as I've experienced it in person and was not impressed whatsoever.

    I was watching a video where they were testing VR for the game Second Life. In the Demo, they had these big goggles on their head and they were walking on a treadmill that tracked your movement so you can walk in the game.

    I know VR sounds neat and everything but, do we really want to be waving our arms, moving our heads , and walking on treadmills to to play a game? Sounds like allot of work.

    Oh man, I forgot all about Second Life. I tried it once when I was a teenager. Terrifying environment for a child.
