I've been studying some of the maths behind VR and HMDs, and I'm confused about one thing in particular. Both the Vireio Perception and VorpX drivers provide convergence settings. In fact, VorpX automatically converges the virtual cameras on whatever...
So I was just watching some videos about the Oculus hd prototype at E3 and it hit me that wouldn't it be possible to have positional tracking by just using accelerometers? I don't have a whole lot of experience with accelerometers and or any tracking...

Hi fellow Oculnauts:I'm interested in using the OR to explore ways of altering our states of consciousness, but I'm an artist by trade and have no coding knowledge, so for now I'll put up some ideas for discussion. If you have the skills required and...

http://s2013.siggraph.org/attendees/emerging-technologies/events/near-eye-light-field-displaysJust saw the SIGGRAPH 2013 emerging technologies video, and noticed this neat tidbit. I've been interested in the implications of "light-field" technology e...
Hi folks,As I understand it, the Razer Hydra only supports position tracking in one hemi sphere around the base, like so;This is causing me a problem in my demo when you duck down and the hydra goes below the desk, it flips the position values and ma...
Does anyone know the precise location of the IMU inside the Rift body? I need to align the center of rotation with some external sensors.I suppose I could always open the Rift and measure, but I'd rather not do that unless necessary.
I'm lazy. I needed something for "sky". I'm not going to make geometry for that, even procedurally.So I set up for providing rays to a shader, based on view (this can be used simply, such as "y component is color gradient" -- or it can be a full ray/...
At what distance does stereoscopy become irrelevant and just be 'infinity'?E.g. If I had a 360 degree panorama, and there were no close objects (e.g. a photo taken from a helicopter). Would a stereo display be needed? Would a single image be enough?I...
This is my idea. I have designs for a controller that is made for first person shooters using the Oculus Rift. The controller is lightweight, wireless, and ergonomically designed after a rifle without any nonfunctional bulk. It will possess all of th...
Hi all,Wanted to share our E3 video, since some folks on this forum were able to make it to our backers event. Great times!Thanks to those who were able to join!Omni Kickstarter page:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1944625487/omni-move-naturally-...
I was playing with the shader and wondered if it could be optimized.Lets start with the standard Shader float2 HmdWarp(float2 in01){ float2 theta = (in01 - LensCenter) * ScaleIn; // Scales to [-1, 1] float rSq= theta.x * theta.x + theta.y * theta.y; ...
I'm still hopeful regarding the idea of approximating positional tracking for scenarios with limited mobility (e.g. the users sitting on a chair) with the accelerometers inside the rift tracker.I think it may be worthwhile to capture real positional ...
Hello,I have a bit of code which gets data from two webcams and render the images to the screen side-by-side in c#. I'm interested in buying an Oculus to render one webcam per eye (stereoscopic vision of the real world via 3D webcam, rather than the ...
Hi,I recently integrated support for OR in my DX9 engine, and after playing around with it for a couple of weeks I have two untested ideas I'd like to share. I'd just like some feedback on the feasibility of them, to see if they're worthwhile.1. Barr...
After some long nights, i'm happy to announce the ShivaEngine Plugin for free. It will be available the next week. (spécial thanks to NicoX for his precious help) See You. Kalhaan.
I was happy to find out my Rift arrived yesterday and its been an amazing experience. The only question I've got is regarding this motion blur, or some sort of distortion when I move my head around. If I don't move my head as much, everything feels s...
Some people are claiming to me that you can take 1 camera image, shift it left a little bit and display it to the left eye, and shift the same image right a little but and display it to the right eye, and you will get 3D.This would mean that you coul...
I am currently working on the barrel warp part of Oculus integration and am trying to use dependent texture lookup instead of computing the distortion in the shader in realtime:1) Encode the distortion function into a 2D texture.2) In the shader, fir...
For example im in a game or vrmmoprg and my clas is ranger and my distance is 30mis the display good enough so that we can see things clearly in the game with a distance of 30m?answer pls

I'm planning on releasing a Java port of SDK code for talking to the Rift tracker hardware, and I want to include either the full SDK license, or a link to it, but I can't find either anywhere. The source files all say the SDK is subject to the terms...
Hail, glorious nation of virtual reality. I apologize for the bad English. While I expect the opportunity to travel to the mainland for the purchase of software needed ... And also expect payroll to order the "main unit" (here I think many will under...
I am wondering, with the population of people now developing for Virtual Reality exploding, if the community here would be interested in viewing some free classes (in text/image form) in the collective wisdom of those who have been creating VR conten...
Out of curiosity I would like to know if you can play games on the Oculus Rift in a non 3d way , I mean if you could use it just as a normal screen ?Thank you for the answers.
By "asymmetric", I mean to look at the distortion applied for just one eye - note that the distortion appears compressed vertically at the outside like in one of the two attached images.I am wondering - and I see this in various Oculus demos - is it ...
The big name in consoles are X-Box and Playstation. Both I love and use, however as this guy says http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/zclvhd/pach-attack--who-will-profit-the-most-from-next-gen- It will be difficult to get the Oculus to integrate with ...
Hi,attached to this post you find a patch for Util_MagCalibration.h && Util_MagCalibration.cpp which speeds up the auto calibration of the magnetometer alot without reducing the result quality. This is done simply by collecting up to 16 samples and t...
We have all seen the Razer Hydra, and I admit this appears to be a great device and may be what most of us end up using, however I envision a controller more natural for VR. Gloves, to me, would be an ideal solution. The Peregrine Gaming Glove http:/...
