Software support for rift...
I posted this topic on the oculus reddit page but it didnt get the response i wanted. I wanted to know what people that have used the rift think of using the rift in 2d. i have heard a few videos ment...
I was about to create a topic on this, but since we`re on the subject...
I wonder what exactly does the set-top-box do. From what I`ve seen, it just gather the data sensors and send image from PC to the display. If that`s true, would it be possible to put a small code that run the distortion code on the set-top-box itself? I mean, just apply the distortion to whatever image is being sent to the display? This would solve so many problems...any content would be viewable on the Rift without having to rely on specific supported software, just send the signal and let the box do the rest.
That`s what the Sony HMZ`s set-top-box do, and it allows it to be multi-compatible. The way the Oculus works, I don`t even know why is that little device even required.
