This is absolutely awesome.
About the only thing I can complain about is the fact that I can't turn using my mouse. I would think that most people would prefer to have the option to surf reddit from their couches without the need to get up and physically turn around, or walk backwards.
It would be cool to see an option to blow up the reddit post you are currently looking at to a larger size, I would love to see that get added for the future!
Keep up the excellent work! 🙂

This is just the sort of envelope-stretching app I like to see! Very creative. I never would of imagined browsing quite like this. I love reddit, as I'm sure many millions do, so I'll give you some of the thoughts that came to mind:
I like the background sounds, especially in the beginning near the /r/frontpage where it just sounds like you're in a very social area. Super fitting and I like it a lot. The sound that you've picked for certain other subreddits can be distracting, though. The NSFW one has too much giggling, and the gaming one has too much explosive stuff going on, so it just kind of keeps me from being able to focus on the content. Overall, having a different sound for each subreddit is a really awesome touch!
Aspect ratio is definitely something you'll have to take a look at as it ruins a lot of the images that show up. However, I did like that I could see more clearly if I get closer. You've got that part down. Maybe if there is a lot of detail in a small area you can have the player's IPD shrink when you get really close to something so that they aren't going cross-eyed trying to read something small. (I didn't go cross-eyed or get *that* close, but I can imagine situations where there might be tiny detail that one would like to look at).
Can't turn around -- as was already mentioned, this was a huge flaw in the movement controls. You've got all the FPS-style controls in place except being able to to turn around and once you remedy that it will make all the difference in allowing the player to move around at will, and easily look at things from all sides.
I found that the N key is pretty hard for me to locate while the Rift is on. All the other keys are in the vicinity of WASD, so maybe there could be another key nearby for this?
I personally found that using C and Spacebar for fall and rise felt very backwards to me. I can understand if you meant for Space to be the classic jump/up button and C for crouch or something, but the way they are reversed vertically, it's hard to get used to (for me, at least).
Is there any way to customize the subreddits that I see? If I authenticate my reddit account, will it pull down the subreddits I've subscribed to and show those? If not, that would be another killer feature!
That's about it. Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing this! 🙂
