I had Elite D running great then I went to optimize my X52 Pro. To make it easier I shut the Oculus off to make adjustments. When I launched the game the video stopped going through the rift.Any thoughts as to what I could've done?
Hi there, I'm the developer of Live for Speed - http://www.lfs.netWe have an Oculus Rift version available in test patch form as you can see on this thread: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=5335Why I'm posting here is because I was disappointed to read in the DK...
Hi Guys,Very first of what will hopefully be many posts, hopefully helping others as well as asking for help. I'm posting to this forum, instead of the Community Support forum, because it's more of a general "getting started" question, rather than so...
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew of any cheap and hackable treadmills. I saw a website about that and it got me thinking that games that involved just walking on a treadmill could be really cool. It could be a little dangerous, but I guess the D...
//EDIT//Studied the forum and got over my portrait mode problem, using extended OK now and looking forward to direct mode applications. Using Virtual Desktop now, very excellent work.-------------------------------------------------------------------...
Is there a purpose for the USB port on the front of the DK2 HMD? I've tried plugging an Arduino into it but it doesn't even power up. I measured the voltage and it was only 2V regardless of whether the Rift screen was turned on or not. If it can't ev...
I've been tasked with showing a huge database on Oculus Rift. It doesn't render at 60fps on any machine I've tried and Oculus will give half the frame rate (or worse) because everything has to be rendered twice.I was wondering if it's possible to giv...
Managed to get a lot of games and demos running with the DK2 (Live for Speed and Elite are amazing) but I am struggling with Asseto Corsa.The rift is appearing on the rendering options in game so I select it - but the game 1/2 way through loading up ...
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 ...
Dear Oculus developers,the DK2 resolution is too low...I have the Sony HMZ-T2 and it's a lot better, not immersive fov but visually the pixel density is compressed in a small area.1920x1080 oleds shared by two lenses is not a good idea because pixels...
ovrHmd_GetTrackingState() allows one to retrieve the predicted head position at a given timestamp (via HeadPose.ThePose). ovrHmd_GetEyePose() provides predicted eye positions at the predicted frame render time. I'm trying to work out the equivalent o...
Hello colleagues,I am trying to access the Rift from C# and have written a CLR wrapper with C++/CLI.Unfortunately, the wrapper assembly will not load into a C# assembly. Runtime error:"Could not load file or assembly 'Oculus.dll' or one of its depend...
Hey Rifters, Just like last year Oculus VR was standing with their own booth at Gamescom. This year the booth was even bigger with new games and of course the Oculus Rift DK2 ready to get played. You could play several cool demos on the newest DK2 in...
Programming or even understanding well enough shaders is beyond me. But I was contemplating the possibility of having a shader that allowed for only rendering a picture once, and extrapolate real not stretched 3D images from this.The reason why I tho...
I've been following along w/ the Linux nag thread, but is anyone actually doing dev w/ the DK2 on Linux at the moment w/ a version of the 0.3.x SDK? I finally got my DK2 in my hands today and am getting started setting up now.I'm actually waiting on ...
Hi,I’d like to make this community aware of a very capable, yet low cost user interface for increasing the user’s control over their avatar in ‘first-person’ & ‘tactical’ shooter games. It’s called “Pointman”.The Immersive Simulation Lab (ISL), at th...
Hey guys im looking into possibly making some videos using a 360 degree camera like the one from Bubl or the other one. Im really curious as to what videos look like on the Rift. I am getting the DK2 and im just dying to know what 360 degree videos f...
Hi, I've asked on Reddit, but thought I'd also ask here,I was wondering what the methodology would be...assuming i had a stereoscopic Equirectangular or Cubic Panorama image as backgrounds for the Oculus CameraController in Unity.To elaborate: I'd li...
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...

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...
