2. Consumer product will have Android support. There are just priorities now needed in order to prepare everything for the launch of CV1 (consumer version).
It's just a devkit.
Not an Oculus hater, but not a fan anymore.
Still lots of respect for the team-Carmack, Abrash.
Oculus is driven by big corporation principles now. That brings painful effects already, more to come in the future. This is not the Oculus I once cheered for.

I realize that it's not a consumer product. We are developers too, and this development kit is of no use to use. We had no idea it wouldn't be until we received it.
And your RC aircraft are no good to me when i'm cooking apple crumble and custard - luckily i read up on that before buying!
It seems the poor decision was made by yourself, not Oculus.
LOL ok show me where that kind of information was available ahead of time? Before you point to system requirements the DK1 had them too and that works without a computer. So it was not a ridiculous assumption to make.

However, there are plenty of potential uses for the Oculus Rift beyond computers. Your decision to prohibit the use of the Rift unless it is connected to a computer is a puzzling one. We are using the rift for FPV RC aircraft, a quickly growing hobby throughout the world, with millions of potential customers. Your decision has literally pulled the rug out from under us.
I respectfully request you rethink this decision and provide a means to use the Rift beyond being tethered to a computer.
The FAA has also pulled the rug out from under you. It's illegal to use goggles or FPV to control models now.
It's an HDMI display. Why does it have to be tethered to a computer?
But... but... but... I just NEED to know about the Baba! The Baba has me hypmotized! :shock:

Immaterial. I am not looking for a refund. I am just trying to find out why Oculus decided to pigeon hole developers with the DK2. I hope they change course for the CV1. The best way for me to accomplish that is to raise awareness of the issue.

you made an assumption. that was a mistake
