Hey,I wanted to ask if theres any way to emulate a plugged in Oculus Rift, so I can try oculus built software like Museum of the Microstar, RiftCoaster and so on.I do have two selfmade Rifts using a Nexus7 and a nexus4, FreePie, PPJoy and Splashtop. ...
Has anyone else measured the Rift's end-to-end latency? By this I mean movement time to photons off the screen time. I am getting numbers around 25-35ms measured using the official Unity plugin. Can anyone also provide their numbers? Perhaps Palmer a...
I have been playing with the Razer Hydra with UDK and while it is quite simple to use them for a sit down VR application, I much prefer to stand up for FPS type VR games. So what are the options with the Razer Hydra? I have seen the base mounted on t...
I created a simple PNG file that you can use as an overlay texture while coding. If you just draw a quad over the screen and apply this file as a texture it will highlight approximately what the user will see when looking through the Rift. It's impor...
Anyone thought of putting together a rift mod for this game. Even Decent Freespace1/2.I'd love to try it but with little experience, no rift kit or time...might be a bit difficult.Ps. first post!
A few notes after an evening of messing around with the Rift. Polygons are really noticeable. Textures look more like wallpaper, normal mapping doesn't help hide polygons, it just makes them look even more unnatural. Objects rendered with tessellatio...
OK, so the lack of hardware of any kind to test with is really killing me here, because it means all of this is pure speculation.However, while thinking through the issues of the hydra's tracking accuracy once again (latest comments suggest the posit...
This question goes to Palmer, Nate and the Oculus Team (others feel free to discuss what they know, of course): What are the plans to make Oculus compatible with Tridef (or vice-versa)? Last I heard, the guys at tridef were waiting to get the devkit,...
A while ago I think Palmer said Oculus were planning on selling the trackers from the Rift separately (even longer ago, nrp was going to sell them by himself).Is there any update on that?As far as I can tell, it is basically the best tracker on the m...
Hi,I looked through all the oculus rift video on youtube and i see everyone is using xbox360 wired controllerIs there something wrong with the PS3 controller, because I really prefer ps3 controller over xbox360.The xbox360 is on sale right now on new...
Wouldn't it be cool if we could create game levels in minutes modeled from real environments? When I attended GDC (Game Developers Conference) 2013, I discovered the Matterport 3D scanner which claims to do exactly that. I'm considering starting a bu...
I just stumbled across this wonderful and relevant little online PDF file, and it looks like a great place for us to start researching eye tracking WHILE WEARING A RIFT DK, using electrical signals from electrodes placed near the eyes. Perhaps such e...
Hey folks,I've been working on integrating the Oculus rift into Max MSP. Have a mostly finished rewrite of the optics compensation shader going (using jit.gl.pix) and a basic stereoscopic GL scene. More details and the patch are here incase any max-h...
Couldn't see this as posted else where, if it has my apologies. If not this is a good deal, nice to see these guys working together http://www.razerzone.com/VRpromoHappy shopping
Hi, guys, I found there is piece of code in the sdk is kind of confusing to me. here they are:HMDInfo& hmd = ...;Matrix4f viewCenter = ...;// Compute Aspect Ratio. Stereo mode cuts width in half.float aspectRatio = float(hmd.HResolution * 0.5f) / flo...
When running TF2, Valve wants to know (via the "oculus_lens_type" convar) that you've switched between the A, B, or C cups. From what I've read in the SDK, there's nearly no mention of them being any different, so what does Valve do to change their c...
A Radio Frequency 4GHz transmitter in front of the user (or 4 of them to cover a complete room) and a receiver on the HMD, to track the absolute receiver position; paired with a classic 9DOF IMU to track the receiver rotations.To-date, the most pract...
Hi guys,can't we get a rough approximation of translation tracking with the rift IMU?If we look at the sensors like this:When the user moves the head sideways, only the left/right accelerometer will register a change.Of course, without real positiona...
Hello,I'm trying to develop a control scheme where you rotate your head/Rift outside of a certain threshold, then continual rotation will be applied to the player object until you rotate your head/Rift back within the threshold. I've successfully mod...
Has anyone tried to put 2 cameras on one of these headsets jet? You could make an awesome 3D HUD just like in the iron man movie or in the project glass concept video.
I thought I'd start a thread for people who have experienced motion sickness with the Rift so we can identify the issues and come up with solutions and possibly a few guidelines to help developers create an experience that will have much less of a te...
Alright so here is the thought. The Oculus Rift is designed for use with fps like games. Since many gaming consoles focus on this particular region it is disappointing to see that as of yet, there is no support for the crossover. I started looking ar...
Hello,I'm working on integrating the Rift SDK into my own basic OpenGL engine. I have the basics of stereo rendering working now; I am generating a seemingly correct projection/view matrix for each eye, and rendering the two perspectives to an OpenGL...
Today at the Defense Sensing conference in Baltimore, MD I tried a Virtushere (www.virtusphere.com) VR locamotion device. It was using the Sony HMZ-T1 with some head mounting modifications. Some remarks:1) The screens of the HMZ-T1 are very nice and ...
Has anyone here found a pair of headphones that they feel are particularly good at both shutting out the outside world and provide great positional sound?I have not done any research towards this and I'm hoping one of you has, and is willing to share...
Hey Rift Peeps.I have a question about device messages and enumeration as the messaging is not occurring as I would have expected, but it is possible that my expectations are incorrect. Please keep in mind that I have my Rift dev kit plugged in and w...
http://youtu.be/HWn8Hn-XCdsOh man, do I wish this was available as an open Unity package for people to rig up their own character models with. We've seen this done before, but it's a cool vid and explanation anyway, especially the multiplayer body la...
If Oculus were to launch an updated version of the Rift prior to consumer launch. Will the owners of V1 be able to send their kits back to be updated with higher resolution screen and any other updates that may arrise? Or will we need to buy that kit...
I need a camera on the headset to combine augmented reality with the occulus rift. I can currently use my webcam and mobile phone cameras just fine but the occulus would be amazing....
Hi,I don't have the Rift yet, but I have been looking into the SDK 0.2.1. I was trying to find out what the values for ChromAbParam are. Without the Rift attached it is 1, 0, 1, 0 which just means that no changes regarding chromatic abberation will h...
