I need more DOOM! <ahem> excuse me...) _KNOWING_ there are some nasties down below, but _you_can't_look_down_ to see them. With sound, it's usually pretty clear that something's real close, and if you don't see it by spinning around, it MUST be above or below (or invisible)...but if you can't look, it's pretty annoying. Bonus: Given look up/down and an HMD, you've got VR. I want both.
