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...
When I try to build this project, neither the OculusWorldDemo.app nor the SensorBoxTest.app get built and I havn't been able to figure out why that is.Has anyone else encountered this problem? I'm using the latest Xcode (4.6.2) on the latest Mountain...
Free online book: Learning Modern 3D Graphics Programminghttp://www.arcsynthesis.org/gltut/This book is intended to teach you how to be a graphics programmer. It is not aimed at any particular graphics field; it is designed to cover most of the basic...
What do you think about build an universal driver for games where it is available the 3d stereoscopic view?The idea is to map input data from the oculus to mapped key to change position and/or orientation?This will let to use also old games What do...
Assuming that the commercial version has the front cameras, or alternatively that someone makes them as an aftermarket accessory, it would probably be one side-by-side stream, right? I want to get started on my AR application but I don't want to have...
What I would like to see on the Rift is the idea of a ride. I want a virtual trip to a 'disneyland'. A way that anyone could put on the Rift and be swept away in the immersion and spectacle regardless of age or skill. Im thinking 'The Haunted Mansion...
It seems to me like using the right hand Hydra controller as your gun might be pretty cool with the Rift. I might even make an attachment for that stick that makes it feel more like a gun and trigger. The left hand would be used like a console contro...
Hello,I need an immersive viewer with no head tracking (not totally immersive... I know :roll:). Do I need the SDK anyway?I apologize if this information is already in some thread. I browsed the forum but I could find only similar questions (like thi...
Did you guys play around with the MessageHandler yet, maybe have implemented your own?My understanding so far is, that with a MessageHandler, one is able to intercept events such as the device being added and / or removed from the system.I'm curious ...
Hi guys,I'm currently writing a C# wrapper for the SDK, however my developer kit has not arrived yet, so I can't really test my code. However a friend of mine is currently testing it, and for some reason it doesn't work as expected. I'm guessing that...
Hi I was wondering if anyone out there could answer this question. The LEAP Motion sensor has a range of 8 cubic feet. If you were to strap it around your chest, could you use it to track both of your arms and hands? I just watched the video that pla...
I just came across this "old" technology which should provide (virtual) force feedback.Does anyone know if it could really deliver "senses such as "push, draw and buoyancy.""?http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20050413/103707/?ST=englishhtt...

Ok I'm no expert when it comes to HDMI or DVI, but I do know I don't have either of these inputs on my laptop, I'm using an Alienware M15x which has 3usb ports, VGA and a E SATA port, now I haven't purchased a oculus yet due to not knowing if it will...
Hi everyone,as Valve has successfully integrated Rift support für Team Fortress 2, I wonder if this feature will be integrated into the Source SDK? Dear Esther would be THE perfect showcase for VR in my option and Rift support should be easy to integ...
Hello oculus community, I've been following this project for a good while now and I'm very exited about the prospects and impactions this can offer us all in the near future. I just had a couple of thoughts about a more immersive experience.I'm sorry...
Would it be more convenient to put build the SDK into a DLL for windows based programming that can be called from programs rather than, integrating the SDK into every single Software title.The SDK is a great way to get games modified, and I am glad w...
So my Hydra came today and I can't get any demos to work. With the Tron FPS game I get the left hand to move very well, but as soon as I press start on the right controller the camera goes wild. It uses the right controller like a mouse, but with ins...
Hey all,Was just re-reading Ender's Game last night, and it occurred to me that the null-G room in battle school could be a fun multi-player game on the rift. I've no plans to develop it - don't have the time or skills - but thought I'd mention it in...
Anyone come up yet with a creative solution as how to output a regular rectilinear game render to the monitor while mirroring the same (distortion corrected) output to the Rift? For now everyone seems happy with the distorted image mirrored on the mo...
Hi all, Just interested in you guys' experience with implementing the Hydra to work alongside your Rift and how you are currently handling the calibration when you can only see the virtual world.Currently I have an initial calibration of arms stretch...
Please excuse me if this has been posted before.Posted over on the UDK forums was a thread about Mocapgames. Didn't think to check it at the time, but now that I have, I recognised the 'Mocapsuit' they have going there, back when it was eMove (or som...
Joe Ludwig mentioned Valve was using these splitters. They seem a tad expensive. Does anybody know the current trade-offs associated with passive splitters and any latency concerns?
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/codelabs/duo-the-worlds-first-diy-3d-sensor What do you guys think? Gotta say it looks pretty slick, and supposedly it gives you access to point cloud data, which the leap does not, making it more useful for develo...
Hey guys, I was wondering if there's any kind of free-walking system like Brantlew's Red Rovr out there or in the making?I'm not experienced enough to try and make my own and would looove to walk around in video games outside of my house, and show it...
is it possible to cancel the rift order, since mine is quite far from being delivered and I did not realise the extra costs it is going to be such as VAT and duty costs?I no longer want the rift but im not sure if I can cancel the order or not? I did...
The LibOVR documentation, and of course the LibOVR library itself uses a right-handed projection matrix and a right-handed view matrix. However, my game uses D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH and D3DXMatrixLookAtLH to generate left-handed matrices. Which fu...
Hello all,It's pretty straightforward to start working on a lot of the bits of code needed for a Rift application (SBS 3D, barrel distortion, etc), but there doesn't seem to be a good way to validate integration with the Rift data stream until you ac...
