[Discussion] Virtual Reality or Multimonitor for Racing Simulation Gaming?

Discussion

With VR slowly becoming a real deal, would the current VR offering(Vive) be better for racing sims or Multi Monitor remains the best option? What could be the pros and cons of either in your opinion?

VR + Racing Sim pros:

  • Natural vision and head movement in the cockpit
  • Better and more realistic sound accuracy (Audioworks)

Cons:

  • Racing Wheel visibility and compatibility issues(you can't see your actual wheel in VR)
  • Possible dizziness

Multi Monitor + Racing Sim pros:

  • Visibility of actual wheel
  • Less dizziness and better framerates

Cons:

  • Far field of view(as you are staring inches away from the monitor as opposed to viewing like you're in the cockpit)
  • Limited viewing angles
  • Two dimensional sound
