Ok gang. I have a Samsung 256 gig 850 Pro. Many used for the OS. And I have a 1 TB WD Black HDD, that has my programs and games on it. I am finding that I am running out of room. Since now games can be 50 gigs and up to install. I want to replace the WD 1 tb with at least a 2 TB HDD. Is WD Black drives still good. Or is there any other recommendations? As well. How would clone the old drive to the new drive

UploadVR just released an article covering Palmer answering questions in court today... for those 2 or 3 people a bit to obsessed with anything Oculus/Luckey like myself. http://uploadvr.com/palmer-luckey-takes-stand-zenimax-court-case/I read this morning that Palmer showed up to court today along with Mark Z. He was reportedly rocking a bright pink tie. Perhaps this doesn't seem all that newsworthy but this is literally the first sighting or report of Palmer I have found in months.I miss reading about Oculus in the early days and watching Palmer talking about VR with so much excitement. These next few weeks will be interesting as well, regardless of how things turn out I hope that the Zenimax and Oculus business can all finally be settled and we can hopefully enjoy more VR in the future!

By completing this poll, you can save others of going through the headache of having to re-install the Oculus app and games again. Help the next generation of gamers stop the re-installment cycle in it tracks and help world peace.

Things I see Vive-owners saying on social media on a near-daily basis:"The Vive  is the only real VR because it has motion controls!""Without motion controls, VR is just a monitor on your face""Why would I play this game if it doesn't have motion controls in it?""This game is incredible because motion controls! (no other reason given)""You can't get immersion without motion controls.""I'll buy anything with motion controls in it!"Things I see my fellow Rifters saying here:"Oh yeah well the Rift WILL be the best AFTER we get motion controls!""These games are fun I guess but they'd be better if they used Touch""Every game I want to see in the future involves motion controls."Things I remember Wii-owners saying:"I can't wait until the Wii comes out, motion controls are going to revolutionize gaming!""Oh wow, Wii Sports is the most incredible game I've ever played! Motion controls, yay!""Huh... motion controls sure got old fast. All these developers just shoe-horned them in unnecessar

Hi all! This is my first post here and I'm just a simple photographer, new to the VR world, so please correct me if I say anything dumb or violate any posting etiquette. I happen to have access to a full lineup of Phase One 100 megapixel medium format cameras, and I was wondering if there was any interest in the VR community in creating content with such systems. It would take a significant amount of data processing, and most of the interest in VR seems to be in the video domain, but if you wanted hyperrealistic environment/object recreation, I feel like these systems might be fairly useful. Here are some sample 2D photos taken on the system (google drive link because files are too big to attach):https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4lJAQLztAD8TWdHWDY0U2lYQ1U?usp=sharingIn a nutshell, I'm wondering whether there's an interest in high resolution photography for VR. Looking forward to your feedback!Thanks!

Hi, guys, this is totally off topic but I would like to get some help. I bought a window sensor from an alarm company a couple of years back ( http://cspalarms.ca/ ). Last morning it showed that the batteries were draining so I had them replaced. But it still kept showing the low battery warning. I removed the batteries for a few minutes and then replaced it and it still showed the low battery warning. The window sensor is pretty much the only security we have in the house, so I would like to get it fixed as soon as possible. Any thoughts on this would be great.   

I think this is ridiculous warning.This app is taking to long to load..etc.

Hey all,I just discovered what Nimble VR is/was.  I searched the forums and saw it was brought up a few times within the past few months (mainly in the context of LeapMotion).  Back to Nimble, essentially it's a IR based tracking technology for tracking your hands/fingers movement; Constellation sensors/cameras also use IR (Infrared)See video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_U3BmDlmtcWhat's interesting is this company was acquired by Oculus a few years back!!  Now, I've seen tweets of reporters saying they heard hints from Oculus not to give up on Constellation just yet; perhaps they have new features in the works?  Perhaps Nimble VR tech can still be an added feature for CV1 Rift?What do you all think?

Hello everyone, i really want to buy my own OCULUS, so i decided to build a propper PC for it, so my question is: Will my configuration (read below) allows me to enjoy the VR world?Graffic card : Asus STRIX-GTX1060-O6G-GamingMotherborad: Asus B150M PRO GAMINGProcessor: Intel Core i5 7600kI really hope you will help me, because VR and OCULUS is my little dream ;) 

Love you all, just saying// sits back and waits for the arguments to start

Sony JP rush to patent their 'Lighthouse' style new tracking system - in order to address serious issues with PSVR and growing returns:

Hi,Buying a new laptop and was hoping that I might be able to get by with a 1050ti as I'm reading mixed opinions.I don't have a VR headset as of yet but am thinking about it sometime in the near future and for the games I play the 1050ti will work fine (BF2) mostly.

To me, it seems like they made this so you are sitting at a chair in front of your computer only.If you look at games like Arizona Sunshine.. you need a lot of space.Is it not that hard to ask that oculus make the sensors with the Max length of 5m.. ?? Is it not that hard to get an option for an extra 5m extension cord to suit the headset.. that is one make specifically for it... nice and neat.Why do manufacturers also just offer the bare minimum?????Honestly 3mtrs extra on your sensor lead would not cost much to mass produce, even if it was an extension.Everyone.. Please make your thoughts heard

However, despite all of that, if you’re sensitive to motion sickness issues, this game may still bother you. Luckily, you can reload your save file and switch between VR and non-VR at essentially any time, making it easy to swap in and out of the headset and take frequent breaks. But consider yourself warned that it may not feel great if you don’t have well-established VR legs.http://uploadvr.com/should-you-play-resident-evil-7-vr/So against all the fanboy denials from the comments following the E3 presentation, the concerns seem to have been proven right about if Capcom could address the issue of instigating sim-sickness with this game. Now the question will be if that will also be the case for the CV1 port?

While watching my son play Arizona Sunshine, it became apparent he was convinced he was stranded in the Arizona desert shooting zombies, and a thought donned on me: When the Apocalypse does come, will the kids that played games like these in vr be the only ones prepared while the rest of us panic and get eaten?  I guess only time will tell.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6bQVMvVoK0

Seems the light leakage and "VR Hair" (along with sweat) is an issue so they redesigned the original 'Ninja Mask' for the JP market!Question - I never heard if this was an issue with CV1 sales in JP? Will OVR have to embrace the Ninja Mask now?

...and the same goes for "Awesome" but I chose "Like" in title because "Awesome" is longer and I will had reach max title characters as I wasn't even able to put quotes around the last Like in title. I realize typing this I could have chose "Lol" which is shorter and that will have allowed to put quotes everywhere but the rhythm of the sentence will not have been the same and saying "I don't lol the fact blah blah blah" sound weird... no?No, seriously, I sometimes don't click even if I wanted just because I realize before clicking some persons already clicked when my mouse hoover the field and I see those usernames, and they will feel like I follow them point of view, just because I have the same point of view... I would like to be able to make my choice, click, and then if I'm curious to know who clicked before, been able to see it (to realize or confirm after than I have the same point of view than some persons). People will think : "Ah, he didn't know I also clicked before he clicke

Who's visited ogrish.com?

I was very suprised when I saw there wasnt one of these alreadySo here we have it!The hands are of our fallen saviour ;)(who's gonna print the t-shirts? - @cybereality can we get this made as official merch?)

This is not meant to be a political discussion at all. Instead this should be a discussion about how virtual reality has become mainstream so quickly that it is now part of political rhetoric as a direct topic.https://ryanboudinotisahack.com/2017/02/02/a-virtual-border-wall/

First off, I know several threads about this topic exist. This is not an attempt to restart the debate. Since the verdict should be coming in the next few hours (the jury deliberates today), I am curious to see how this community believes the Jury will vote.Synopsis: ZeniMax has 9 lawsuits, 5 of which are against Facebook and the rest against Oculus. Details in a discussion thread here:https://forums.oculus.com/community/discussion/comment/488527/#Comment_488527So with that in mind, what will the Jury decide??

Was playing a game today on windows 10 { Empyrion - Galactic Survival }  and all of a sudden a little window pops up to ask if I want to try Ms Office, Is there anything in the settings that I can stop this or it just a case of put up with it.

arrive?

Now that Mrs May and Mr Trump (Theronald) have forged such a great relationship and the US and UK are practically married (U-SUK) will British Rifters be getting 20% off in the Oculus Store, or do we have to wait until we have officialy left the EU for such deals to be confirmed?
