Hey folks,This is a repost -- I first posted it in the Stereo 3D forum, which was probably the wrong place...I want to start experimenting with mobile device sensors and sensor fusion to estimate pose. This raises the question of how to do validation...
I've really been having nothing but trouble getting the Rift to work in Unity on my Mac, but now I've solved (hacked) nearly all of the issues. However, I'm running into one that I can't seem to fix, and haven't found any other topics discussing yet....
Using the both Java frameworks I'm testing with, it is quite difficult to identify the Rift from the list of available monitors. Mostly it appears as '1' and the primary monitor as '0' but this is not always the case. Currently I'm trying to spot it ...
Hey Devs, We just submitted our latest game, Endless Dead, an isometric VR shooter to Steam Greenlight. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=366631302If you're on Steam, please consider voting 'yes' on our project, as we really need ...
I'm about to release a 360 degree documentary of the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, taken before Christmas.It will be my first time submitting an app to Oculus Share. I was just wondering whether there was any sort of verification like submitti...
Dear Rift Devs & Enthusiasts,I am a student of Media and Communication Science and I am currently planning my master’s thesis about interactive storytelling in virtual reality.In this regard I am conducting an anonymous online survey among VR develop...
I'm still struggling to get my basic examples running, but it seems like I'm still tripping over some basic OpenGL stuff.Currently with my LWJGL3 experiment I'm getting a change in lighting when I move my head around. The floor should be black and wh...
Hi,I would like to setup my PC for the DK2. At first I downloaded and installed the Oculus Runtime software. But what are about the Oculus SDK for Windows kit? I downloaded and unzipped the file - how can I install the SDK? Or is the SDK not necessar...
Hi,Should it be possible to use dk1 with sdk4.4 and opengl? I haven't been able to get opengl oculusworlddemo going in either direct or extended mode.My own code sort of works in extended mode, but the values returned by DefaultEyeFov are pretty wild...
On the off chance no one has tried it, I was wondering if you had thought about approaching the problem from another angle. Transfer the data as you would from a wireless Camera. Receiver and Sender. Like those used on drones.Or would there be too mu...
Hello everyone, This will be my first post here in the forum. My wife and I discussed the topic of skyping her family overseas and the Oculus is an obvious choice to simply ride along with our family, friends in the future. Is there any development o...
Very excited to hear about the Nimble VR deal. We now have a more concrete idea of what the input device will be... your hands! As Rift developers who are supporting Leap Motion in their development efforts does it make sense to consider using Leap M...
Hi, I'm trying to figure out if the DK2 positioning sensor can be used as a regular (albeit optimized for infrared spectrum) web camera. I'm using a Mac and it appears as a USB UVC Camera:Camera DK2: Model ID: UVC Camera VendorID_10291 ProductID_513 ...
Since CES demoed a version with 360 degree tracking, it would be wise to offer this feature as an upgrade to owner of DK2, so the developpers could include this feature in their product.the omni virtuix will be released around April and it will badly...
Hi everyone,I am very pleased to share with you the OpenGL version of OculusRoomTiny, the D3DX sample provided with the SDK.With the aim to facilitate readability and comparison to all of you, I tried to keep the same coding style.I have enclosed it ...
Good evening, How difficult would it be to render Stereoscopic 3D from Autodesk Maya 2015? Has anybody done it?Kevin
Hi,I want to develop an interface which contains a sidebar menu and a window displaying the image captured from a webcam.The idea is when the sidebar menu is appearing, Rift should be in "extended desktop mode", and when I double click on the image, ...
So, I tried Elite: Dangerous. Bad move..I hardly sleep anymore, I have to be reminded to eat and I try to avoid going to work.When the hell am I going to get to developing?It's a drug. Just....one....more....station.Stay clear!
I'm trying to work with the Rift and Torque (T3D) and got a DK2 for that purpose. Unfortunately the code in the T3D engine is based on the DK1 and will require quite a bit of work to be updated to the DK2. I'm wondering if anyone here is working with...
Another newbie question:I'm getting a new PC for Oculus work.What is the recommendation of using Windows 7 or Windows 8? Pros and cons of each if not an obvious choice?Thanks
Can a few people share their recommendations for PC configurations required for:A. High end Oculus Rift playback/useB. Developing Oculus Rift VR content.Thanks!
Does anyone know if a new compression format is in development for VR? The reason I ask is both the left and right frames have a great deal of overlapping data. For example, the distant background in a scene would be identical, with only the foregrou...

Hi, new developer here. I've worked primarily in mobile games for the past 5 years as an artist/technical artist. I just got the DK2 kit a couple weeks ago, but only had the opportunity to set it up last weekend. I've installed everything, and I can ...
this one is pretty obvious (and probably been suggested before), but I am new to the DK2 (2 weeks)the first thing that jumped out at me is a lot of games/demos say Sit back and hit a key combo to reset/recenter the Rift.well if I sit back my keyboard...
(Crossposting from here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/distributed-timewarped-rendering-an-idea.290024/ - let me know your thoughts in either place!)I had an idea this morning for a new type of VR scene rendering which uses two devices. I haven't ...
Hi,I'm a little confused about the direct mode window size. A note in oculusworldemo says:// In Direct App-rendered mode, we can use smaller window size,// as it can have its own contents and isn't tied to the buffer.WindowSize = Sizei(1100, 618);//S...
I am considering buying an enormously marked up ticket for PAX East just so that I can try Crescent Bay. Passes are sold out on the official site, so I will have to try second hand sources, and take the price inflation that comes with that. Before I ...

so currently every iteration of motion tracking has been fixed cameras with moving ir dots.On the dk2 this is very poor as the camera has tonnes of wires, a small FOV and range.I would like to suggest moving the camera and integrating it into the ocu...
