    NASCAR: Full Speed

    Drive to survive, but NASCAR?

    Yeah, I enjoyed this. Only 5 episodes so short and sweet.

    Sadly this does almost nothing to educate race-curious people like me on their sport. I know there is strategy, skill, and cool engineering that goes in to oval track racing but you get none of it here.

    The difference between NASCAR and F1 also couldn't be more stark.

    Still, this was fun and I recommend it.

    I went and did the demo at my local Apple Store. Expectations were low but I tried to keep an open mind.

    Wow! First gen product, but this feels like it could be the future of computing. This is as impressive a demo as seeing something like HDR for the first time.

    There is an amazing amount of polish for a first gen product. The video pass-through latency is supposedly under 12ms and feels quick enough as to almost be imperceptible. The hand and eye tracking are great. The ability to tune out the outside world worked very well, even in a busy Apple Store.

    This is so much more impressive than the Oculus products, but for what it costs it had damn well better be!

    Downsides? I want even more resolution than this. The FOV is good but not great. The apps that have been optimized for it are amazing, but most are just ported iPad apps. I also (nerd alert) found the foveated rendering very noticeable as to the high and low rez rendering and the drop off between the two.

    Biggest downside is the cost. $3.5k is just a ton of money. If it was closer to $1k I’d be a lot more tempted to splurge.

    Also, if this ever worked with Windows PCs for Sim Racing and Flight Simulators I’d buy it right now.

    Thanks, everyone! I’ve had my phone off all day as I’ve been… you guessed it, at the race track!

    Chasing down a new Civic Type R on track in my practical family SUV not a bad way to spend a birthday!

    It is very intimidating, but I'm taking it one bite at a time.

    I have no idea how all these other people are so good at driving. I don't feel like I'm doing badly but I'm way off the pace of the leaders.
