Raspberry pi - Oculus Adapter for console!
I've already done this as a modest proof of concept, and by "done this", I've started with PC and I'm now onto the r-pi (see "post" links below) And now I'm looking to see who in the community wants...
No worries... and i don't feel flamed at all and sorry for my grammar. I haven't really slept in a few days and it's starting to take it's toll. It's almost like vertigo, but harder to think ;-). funny, I was just following a thread on mtbs3d that you and another (forgot name) were commenting on some of that very same code for the hydra. I'm even more excited to know about the hydra support.
By USB capture I just mean video capture. (I went from development into media production and it's now a habit to use the term capture like I do), short for capturing footage. It's also referred to as "ingesting" footage but, in either case the aim is to get the rpi to handle the tracking, translation and control and also as a kind of video pass-thorough, to provide a stereoscopic render to the HDMI output. A USB RGB capture was all I could find that was supported. At least so far. I was hoping to find some linux supported hardware that would take in HDMI at 1080p 60fps. that I could make work with the rpi but, I haven't found it. I've been working in media for a little while and I'm familiar with a lot of capture devices but, I need cheap. like the capture card I started this project with.
I do have a question though... I just started to get into my rpi last night and I was kind of leaning to ArchLinux as I thought it may be "lighter", faster, etc. but, I see a lot of Raspi mention. I have run that as well so, I was wondering which is a better option for the rpi? Or just any thoughts that would work well for this type of project.
