Super interesting new toy to play with Oculus Rift!
hi guys, we put it on Kickstarter.We worked really hard to make it affordable and easy to use. Now you guys are able to get this kind of stuff home and play with it. We are exhibiting a few days later...
Here's my unofficial attempt at answers:
Tiny accelerometers, gyros, and magnetometers on your fingers, arms, shoulder, etc. measure the 3D angles between each bone and use forward kinematics to easily work out the position of each point.
It samples at 60-96 Hz.
Here's a 120FPS video slowed down by a factor of 4.
Note that this is on a convention floor, so extra latency is no doubt being caused by 1) Low end computers for demo purposes, 2) Low end monitors and 3) bad wiring:
I think I saw a better latency video somewhere, but I can't find it now.
Probably a little. But it can measure absolute angles the same way the DK1 does with magnetic yaw drift correction, and absolute angles are all it really needs to not drift.
