Newbie: Possible to run OculusWorldDemo without hardware?
Just downloaded the SDK and have been reading thru it. I don't yet have DK2. Is it possible to run the sample code for
OculusWorldDemo (and/or RoomTiny) without having the headset? I'd just like to see the images on my windows 7 PC screen.
If this is possible, please give me a hint. If I try to run the pre-built OculusWordDemo I see a screen flash by that looks like a DOS shell, then nothing. I've tried the configuration tool to fiddle options, but no luck. Thanks!

- I just tried it, and it appears to work without the headset plugged in.
Can you list your OS and system specs? Have you installed the runtime already (I assume yes)? - Out of the box the TinyRoom demo doesn't work without a headset connected but the OculusWorldDemo should work. You do need the runtime installed though.
- Hi,
I am devoloping some codes without the device.
I would like to know if there is an emulator of the oculus? In order to test the code without the device. "tryskel" wrote:

You can test the code by using ovrHmd_CreateDebug(), but this won't provide any sensor input. It will let you test that your code and rendering is correct, but not your head tracking code. As far as I know there is no way to test the head tracking code without a DK1, DK2 or buying an IMU kit to emulate a DK1.- Ok thank you :)
