Totally blind or just legally blind? My left eye can count fingers up to a distance of 2' with peripheral vision and a complete lack of foveal vision. Playing around with the DK2 I still felt the "presence" VR tries to achieve.

I'm legally blind in my left eye due to Toxoplasmosis, most likely passed to me before I was born, and they didn't figure out what was wrong until I was 6. Your description of your vision sounds similar to mine, strangely enough 10 years ago it was even worse, but I still don't have the necessary sight to read with that eye.
