Quoted from ChadH:
Along the same lines, I figure the CastAR will be perfect for virtual pinball.

Oculus rift seems like it's been delayed from production for like the last year. Unless you backed the kickstarter and got a development kit, you can't get near one.

Jerri's Cast AR on the other hand is getting a LOT of press and may release sooner. Plus CastAR can either do like oculus rift (total immersion), or do augmented reality (graphics laid over realtime view). It would be interesting if you had a generic pinball cabinet made of foam, and CASTAR overlaid all the cabinet, backbox, and playfield graphics needed to make it any pinball you wanted.

I just preordered an Oculus dev kit 2 and built a blazing PC. When can I download Virtual CP? Maybe I should talk to Chuck and get it going myself.
