Quatf hmdOrient = poculussensor->GetPredictedOrientation();Matrix4f View = Matrix4f(hmdOrient);If you use this matrix to render, yaw, and pitch work as intended, but of you roll(twist) your head, the scene shears.as you can see I am not using the pos...
Hey guys,I've been working on a design for my game and finally had the chance to see how my efforts were working in VR and I have to say I was heavily underwhelmed by its depth. There was no "Wow" factor because in the end it seemed rather flat.With ...
Hi all,I found a game with a fixed crosshair in the center of the screen. Raycast to clic on object are directly sent trough it, and I would like to do the same...http://www.entertherift.fr/gamecenter/fr/game-438-gorgon.htmlIs it complicated? Are the...
Update 10.4.14I got through Doom 3 BFG few days ago and boy, was that an experience! I played it fully through with this script and made adjustments for it along the way, I attached the latest version, Pseudo Walker 0.501 in this post.It is better th...
I just pre-ordered Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 but read that this one will not ship with a Unity Pro trial.. that sucks.. I hope I'll be able to use the Free Unity version to make games for the new Oculus rift version.
Something I was thinking about today was going from a standing to a seated position in VR. This wouldn't really work with any kind of treadmill. But say you are standing while you "walk" to a virtual hang out to meet friends. In the real world you ha...
I posted this idea on another thread but I am starting this thread just to ask the question: Does anybody know if this could actually work?One idea i was recently considering the feasibility of is: If you had a little radio frequency absorbing sphere...
Hi all. Just wanted to advise of a new product I hope to be ramping into beta-production soon, something I call the FPS Revolution. If anyone has seen the Delta Six controller, it is similar, although I found it after coming up with my idea.While jus...
Hi there,Here is a simple javascript library and example file to view HTML on the Rift.If you want to try it, just get it from github at: https://github.com/topherzee/vrhtml* copy the vrhtml-example1.html file.* edit it and change the contents of the...
In case anybody wants the D3D9 version of the shader from the OculusRoomTiny demo, here it is (tested, compiled, and ran under the "ps_2_0" target for shader model 2). It's functionally no different from the DirectX 10 one, but this one will work wit...
The idea requires to first add Augmented Reality to the Oculus Rift, which should really be done because it adds a whole new dimension to Virtual Reality (literally) on top of allowing to track your arms and hands.From there it becomes cheap and easy...
I've read that the folks at Oculus are saying that sitting games will be the primary focus at first. I appreciate that they want to prioritize keeping things highly accessible. So I'm wondering what the most accessible input standard will be. Obvious...
http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/03/19/gdc-sony-reveals-project-morpheus-playstation-4-vr-headsetSony are following Oculus lead by making prototypes available to developers. I imagine this will lead to a scramble and it will not just be developers. I ...
Heya rifters,After a few stabs and tinkerings on the ol programming bench. I've managed to create a little plugin that would enable anyone with DarkBASIC to integrate OR into their existing project. The files together with the demo source is included...
Hey everyone,I know I've had my vr glove project under my projects for a while, but recently I've been having more free time and actually got started working on it the last week or so. The idea is to use accelerometers, gyros, flex/bend sensors, pote...
I want to share a few ideas I had about the best way to handle communication, locomotion, and interaction in VR. The concepts are simple, and most are obvious, but I thought it was worth sharing. Some of these are universal and should probably be ado...
Hey forum,It is my intention to persuade, influence and inspire you guys to think, imagine and discuss the possibility of an on board 'Oculus Rift' operating system. Graphical User Interface Design of Oculus OS;-mirror game consoles? menu based, very...
Micro-PNT (Micro-Technology for Positioning, Navigation and Timing) does absolute position tracking on a single chip!To oversimplify it; Micro-PNT adds integrates a highly-accurate master timing clock integrated into a IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)...
Now that both of these products have had successful kickstarter campaigns I wonder if someone might help me understand what differences there are between the two systems in terms of performance and quality of trackng?Is magnetic tracking much more pr...
Hi everyone, I would like to introduce our project as we are getting ready to publish more information about it and thought the best place to share it before we go live would be here and hopefully get some feedback... :ugeek: Our company was one of t...
Hello all, would love to take this idea on for a debate. Lets imagine having Emotiv combined with the Oculus. My thoughts about the gyro incorporated into the Oculus are up in the air. I seem to have a hard time envisioning any gamer wanting to turn ...
Last August we tried launching the Kickstarter but didn't get to our funding goal. We didn't stop working on the project and have now relaunched showing more advanced prototypes of the PrioVR system and more interactive demos.https://www.kickstarter....
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have inferred that the IR camera for positional tracking has absolutely no bearing on detecting rotation, correct?Because if so, there is absolutely no need for it to be able to detect the orientation of the rift, and o...
Hi oculus! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d3Wli7s6KY claims you are backing out of the VR experience and only choosing the seated VR experience at about 6minutes and 10 seconds in.why not add an extra camera or two and get back the enthusiasm first...
Hello,I´m working at a University sharing a rift with 2 other people.Actually we´re working as hardware designers and thus not so comfortable in C++ prograimming.How do we have to initialize the OVR to be able to use the shaders but without connectio...
Hey all,I'm not a UE4 licensee yet, so can't join the licensees-only forum.I have read that UE4 can build HTML5 apps, and that UE4 can support Oculus Rift. Does anyone know if there's support to build HTML5 apps which support Oculus Rift?I'm intrigue...
Hey guys, I am 99% of the way to supporting the Rift in my OpenGL C++ engine but have come across a fundamental problem in how I am rendering the final scene. I am having trouble understanding which part of the transformation process is producing my ...
Is there any reason I cant get a DX9 application to work with the oculus?I am worried about the oculus post process shaders. Do they use something only available in dx10+?thanks
Once upon a time, before I had ever heard of Oculus, I was prototyping my own VR designs. My design was different from the amazing thing the Rift has become, but nonetheless while tinkering I learned all sorts of interesting things that carry over. T...
