Farsight hasn't announced support for it, but I'm hoping they will. The initial version is rumored to cost $300. For pinball, the only additional hardware I could see needing is some sort of podium like stand with the proper buttons, plunger, and nudging support. There would be no need for any monitors or a full cabinet. Each machine could be completely different as far as DMD, score reels, backglass and cab size, etc... and would be fully 3d modeled so you could view it from any angle. This would be much much better than a flat 2d display. You would actually see the all the components of the playfield as fully 3d objects as you move your head around. You could fully inspect the playfield standing from anywhere around the machine. The ramps would have height. A second playfield would appear above the regular playfield and you could look under it. This is why Farsight going with 3d modeling over the stupid Pro Pinball approach of pre-rendered 2d is so much better. Virtual reality is the future of gaming and pinball would be an excellent, low processing power, application for it. I hope more people realize this and bring it up to Farsight.</p></blockquote><p></p>
