Is Move latency for pointing really this bad compared with the old Wiimote? I always thought the speediness of the Wii Remote pointer was essential for many games that used it, and was a bit disappointed when I stumbled across this.

Not really. Isn't that Yoss' argument?

No, no, no. You're confused. If you check carefully back through the last few pages and pay close attention to what I've been saying, I think you'll find that my argument is: your mum. Now there's something I have tried.

Well...

It couldn't have been an argument about yours...

I need her to raise the funds for an Apple Watch, and a Gear VR.

Have you understood a single word I've typed ITT?

I'm unconvinced.

I've been checking out television lately, it's a bit weird but i think it'll catch on

I haven't heard of that, are the illustrations better?

Was at a VR event recently where the keynote speaker was the marketing and outreach director for Leap Motion.
They've made a version that you can attach to the front of an Oculus Rift...

Very clever... It'll track your hands and fingers once they're in your "field of view", but of course, if you move your hands out of that 'fov', then your hands are not active in the game world...

Interesting experience, even with the bug riddled, fluffy artsy gumpth' that was passed off as a demo...

The resolution of the capture needs improving, but I saw enough to convince me that this approach can work.
Either that, or lop a Kinect 2 level vision array to the front of the Rift...

Also, speaking to some of the dudes at the same event who have tried the Samsung Gear thing, they say it's better than DK2...

Disclaimer - I still don't know what to make of VR, but still also think that Omega Agent is the best thing I've played this gen'.

The Wii wins hands down as a pointer. Move owns when not pointing at the screen.

Great description. 

Unlike the Wii Remote/MotionPlus, move doesn't need to be pointed at the screen to measure distance from the TV, since the camera is only looking for a light orb.
