Is there any information on what the future of Oculus hardware might be in terms of Console gaming? Everything I've read here has been very PC gaming focussed. With cross-platform engines like Unreal supporting it, what would need to happen to be abl...
How do folk here hook up their kits?I have a main 30" display and would like to have the oculus as 2nd display. It somewhat works but I have to duplicate desktops?!? And only get xfire to kick in if I disable the other desktop altogether?!?Needless t...
my idea is using the microsoft strategic commander (moded drivers by Philip Merwarth) to move and pan the camera left and right plus all the buttons and then free aim with your mouse in the direction you are looking, that could be high precicion and ...
The form of my Oculus is falling apart from the plastic/rubber that it is sticking on to. What glue do I use? Something like rubber cement? I know this will be close to the head so I dont want toxic fumes being inhaled.
If the barrel distortion were done in the Rift, the device would suddenly be compatible with all sorts of existing 3D sources.
I wear corrective lenses mostly to correct crossed vision. The crossed vision prevents me from perceiving depth without the lenses. Is the SDK going to have any mechanism for correcting for this kind of vision problem? It should be a simple matter of...
Hi there, I just had an awesome idea.... Imagine a 1st person Spiderman game for the oculus and the hydra.Would be incredible to swing like spiderman through the streets of NY. What do you think ? Greets
Hello,sorry for multiple post , but I posted something here about a new gamedesign idea :viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1036&p=11032#p11032tell me your advice.
Hi all,my C++ and DirectX knowledge is very limited, so I have a hard time coming to grips with the rendering part of the SDK.For now I'd like to create a simple stereo viewer. Load 2 images (left eye and right eye), distort them properly and combine...
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...
