Yes I agree about the night driving. It will be interesting to see where we all
gravitate to (wheel, arms, nothing) with a helmet display, short and long term. In
GPL I found myself using the arms' sharp visual cue to keep my steering inputs as
smooth as possible. Also it was my first clue indicating a noisy pot problem. I
haven't played GPL in a while, can't know if I would tire of it eventually.
Here's a hub for VR helmets, still a bit scary in price and I wouldn't want to meet
a guy wearing one in a dark alley.
