Just got my DK2 and have been running through the various demos.One thing I'm finding is that my left eye gets a lot more strain, whereas my right eye is fine. I have mild near sightedness in both eyes (+0.5), with a mild astigmatism in just the left...
I've got a windowed 3D app ( with multiple docked windows ), my UI is using my custom DirectX11 drawing API ( so no child CWnd/HWNDs, just one base window ), all the "virtual" child windows are all drawn using DX into the base window's render target,...
I'm developing a windows-based DX11 shader development tool ( similar to the old NVidia FXComposer ) and am in the process of adding support for my Oculus DK2. Before the new SDK, I would render the scene from one eye to a larger un-warped half-width...
Hi Everyone!I'd like to know what kind of sensor is used for head tracking? And if it is gyro or/and accelerometer, will it lag head tracking if person wearing Oculus will have accelerations about 0.5 g, angular velocities and vibrations itself?
I posted about this on r/oculus but I haven't been able to fix this issue yet. Whenever I try to run a ".msi" installation file (only VR files as far as I can tell) I get an error message that says "Object already exists" and then the installer close...
Hey Rifters, I traveled all the way to Cologne to visit Gamescom, one the biggest trade fairs of games. Students of the Käthe Kollwitz Gymnasium have build their own simulators that are compatible with the Oculus Rift DK1 and the DK2. One of them was...
There's a damn interesting bit of talk - to me anyway - about integrating DK2 with Lockheed-Martin's P3D pro flight sim.Excerpt:Ok let me say first that the last time I programmed DirectX was like 15 years ago... so please mentally fix my mistakes. I...
Hi,Back in 2008?? There was this device the 'ocz NIA' it was a head band that had a few sensors that detected muscle tension in a few face muscles. If a few of these sensors could be integrated in the rift where the rift touches the face, it could be...
I was curious.. Live action 360 video content VS computer generated completely stable content. Which makes the easiest for viewing... Lets say I skydived with a 360 stereo camera on and its shaky.. (because your brain is used to it.) Vs Stabilizing i...
I want to test whether strobing the display (disco light effect) can help me get less nauseaus when moving in VR, as suggested in this paper: http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20070016633.pdf. My problem is that I cannot get the sc...
Hi guys, first of all sorry for my english but i'm from italy so english is not my first lang but i'll do my best; i'm doing my CS bachelor thesis on Oculus, and i would ask you something...I have to realize a 360 video of Tuscany countryside and a c...
Hi there Oculus VR community, I'm in the process of trying to develop a small walking demo for an upcoming event and it just suddenly struck me, I have 2 units but only one computer. Now I'm still new to all of this so I'm still learning but I wanted...
like a multi rotor or airplane?I need to use it as an HMDcould HDMI to RCA work with direct mode?
I'm a new beginner.I want to build a "virtual reality" system in my computer. When i use the oculus rift and import the SDK package into the Unity3D. Then i found that when i get myself close to something , things will look much bigger than what i sh...
Edit: Changed the title to include further observations (second post).I am quite happy to have almost successfully integrated the SDK into my own OpenGL engine - except for one problem, which took my at least six hours to narrow it down to the follow...
I just got my rift the other day and wanted to get straight to playing around by converting some of my demos in C to work with it.Instead of using the sdk source directly in my projects I found this: https://developer.oculusvr.com/forums/viewtopic.ph...
Hey all, I just purchased. 2 new GoPro Hero 3+ Black edition cameras and this stereoscopic mount and sync cable here: provideocoalition.com/jfoster/story/gopro-dual-hero-3dI am looking to make some stereoscopic stills and videos for my DK2.... This s...
I'm playing around with displaying some UI in my app. The recommendations seem to say that it should be drawn as part of the 3D scene. Such as a floating polygon in front of the camera. But as far as I can tell, the Oculus samples don't use this tech...
HiI would like to use the Oculus Rift inside a flight simulator. The flight simulator is based on a 6 DOF motion platform. We need to use the relative positon of the Oculus to the cabine. Not relative to the outside world. This because the cabin may ...
Since I might have to wait quite a while until I can upgrade my PC and I haven't ordered the DK2 yet, I'm wondering if the DK2 supports running resolutions below 1920x1080 a la 1366x768 or 1280x720(800) ?My current machine is'nt very powerfull, intel...
Does anyone know the mount options for the DK2 tracking camera? I saw at PAX they had some custom stands made, so I assume top of the monitor is not the best idea?
Hey All,I do not yet have a rift (I didn't submit my order until July so I don't expect it any time soon), but I am in the process of developing a game with the intention of having rift support.My question goes to those that have a rift - In a situat...
Gang, I have DK2, is there any free/cheap environments that can be used that allow you to demonstrate VR that allow you to Create a Room, drop some custom objects in and walk around? I mean quick, with minimal programming :?: ..
I was pleased to see a minimal sample app in the SDK, in the form of Oculus Room Tiny.Unfortunately, this sample is using D3D.Where could I obtain a minimal DK2 app that is based on OpenGL?I intend to use the SDK provided distortion rendering.Thanks,...
You're going through the wrong path, like us programmers manipulate computers you guys should be manipulating the human brain with a compatible programming language, make a programming language or make one compatible with the human brain to manipulat...
Hi All,I will probably not be a huge contribution to the community, so I am grateful for the opportunity to share my thought here and perhaps make a small difference in the future of VR.At Disney World, one of the most exhilirating and breathtaking e...
Hi all, Today Dejobaan Games released an update to make Aaa for the Awesome DK2 compatible! I tested it and it works really well. I had to edit the launch options in Steam to add -vr and it runs in Extended Mode (not using the SteamVR). I had no luck...
Hi,I am getting some weird behaviour when setting the Rift Display Mode to 'Direct'.I create my GL context using SDL2, with these calls: SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION, 3); SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION, 2); SDL_G...
Hi! Sorry for double posting this, but in Unity integreation forum I didn't get any feedback. I am wondering if it wasn't a good standard feature to have crouching implemented, as the dk2 gives a very nice new exploration option by moving your body a...
Ok, so as the updates have stated, there will be a way to mirror the dk2's vision. Is this effectively the same as it currently is with the DK1? If it's a separately rendered window, will there be a way to "undistort" the image? This is mainly for pe...
