Help with Psychophysics Experiment

Hello all,

I apologize in advance if this is the incorrect place to post or if it has already been answered before (I searched but turned up nothing).

I will be running a psychophysics experiment in the near future and have obtained an Oculus Rift. I have never used one of these before. I have managed to set it up on my Mac and try some demos and it works great.

However, I need it for a different purpose. I need to display a scenic picture to a participant as they are lying down. The problem is that I do not want the gyroscopic features of the rift to be active (ie. I just want the participant to view a still image no matter the direction/angle/motion of their head). Are there ways to disable this? Or is there an existing plug-in that would serve this purpose?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

    If you write your own app, then yes, you can disable the tracking.

    However, doing this will likely make people uncomfortable.
