How did the "presence" in the VC feel?
It feels very real ;-) The VC is awesome for devices like the Oculus Rift.
Everything seems to be proper sized. (controls, etc)
I believe that it must be possible to stay in the virtual cockpit during an entire flight. The rift has just 640x800 pixels per eye, so everything is very blurry.
And you cannot even guess what the texts on the MFD's would display.
But I think this would change, when the higher resolution Oculus Rift comes out.
Also, have you done an EVA in LEO, take a stroll around the ISS?
Not yet, but I did look around just by scrolling out. It's amazing.

When I turn my head in what ever direction the image is not stopping, I just see the interior of the helmet ^^. Wouldn't the helmet be there, I think I would see the other guests in the delta glider.
Regarding the use of the keyboard I can declare that it's kind of hard, but I know the commands pretty well. I would suggest using the mouse in the virtual cockpit to switch buttons and a joystick to steer. How would a mouse pointer in 3d work? I saw a very good approach in the Oculus Rift version of HalfLife2.
Good orbit
