I agree. Here's a clever promo showing people trying to live with a Rift showing them a lagged version of reality. I laugh so hard when he tries to make a pancake. [VIDEO]
I came across this (which is a commercial so exaggerates the lag) -- but still quite hilarious (Swedish audio): [VIDEO]
I thought so but what about the camera position not being same as your eyes, would you be able to drink from a cup of coffee and coordinate? Or have a similar experience to the living with lag video, this time no because time lag, but eye hand not coordinating. [VIDEO]
