Will Oculus Rift DK2 work with a virtual machine?

I am on a Mac desktop, and use Parallels. Let's say I want to play a game that is only for Windows. Would it work if I downloaded it in Parallels?

Does DSR work in the Rift? Yes or No?

I have seen so many threads saying it does work and doesn't work, that's it's all got a bit confusing. Some people saying it worked with Nvidia 3.44, but doesn't now and others saying it's always worked. Can someone with some knowledge on the subject...

Is Vive sacrificing latency to accomodate the longer cables?

I've seen a few threads on here about looking at extending the hdmi cables provided with the dk2, but has been suggested that adding more length beyond what was provided starts to impact latency.Given Valve's system has a larger area you can track, I...

A Solution to the VR Controller Problem

I think I've got this one figured out  It has been said many times that Oculus (at least initially) wants the Rift to be a seated experience. So how are we going to get around in these games while limiting motion sickness and not breaking immersion?...

Oculus DK2 compatibility with future releases.

Hi there, I wonder if future games/demos will still work with Oculus DK2, I mean, once the Consumer Version is released and newer games/demos appear, will they still work on my recently ordered DK2? Or will it become useless after some time?Thanks :?...

low cost HMD and cheaper, Is Oculus on the right way?

Time for Battletech VR

The big bugaboo is presence and the difficulty maintaining it while seated. Elite Dangerous however has no such issues and is a fantastic experience in VR, because you sit in a cockpit. It just so happens that when piloting a battlemech, you are also...

zelda / Super mario / pokemon VR

Nintendo has recently joined the mobile games war by partnering/share swap with Dena.As Dena previously launched a VR game demo and probably are working on more, do you think we can expect to see Nintendo IPs in VR games soon?

The big news everyone missed... consumer launch 2015!

So, John Carmack stood there and announced a "full consumer" launch for Gear VR later this year. And everybody ignored it because it's not the Rift nor the Vive.Oculus ready to go “full consumer” on Gear VR later this yearhttp://arstechnica.com/gamin...

Lot of Oculus Prefabs for developers, say yes here.

High End This, High End That. Vive Might Be EXPENSIVE!

The Oculus Rift Consumer Version CV1 Has Been Cancelled

An Idea to interact with objects.

In stead of having you're hand move in an object. How about programming objects so when you're hand/body starts to move through an object it dims you're field of view giving you're brain a indicator to move back. And if you're hand/body moves to much...

Custom faceplates for the consumer version?

I've been watching alot of Rift videos and i've noticed that many people customize the front side of device usually with a face or a pair of silly eyes. So I was thinking that maybe this should be a feature in the consumer version just like Xbox360 h...

Idea for Virtual Reality Controller

Just a thought,Make a controller, one in each hand,that actually gets bigger in your hands depending on the size of the object you are picking up, or the wall you are pushing against for example. It wouldn't have to be a huge variation in size, but I...

Vive for premium experience, CV1 for hobby

It's interesting that folks here have been proud DK2 owners few months back and Vive, Vrelia, Vrvana and etc may surprise everyone at VRLA and E3. That all I can say due to NDA limitation and prepare a test drive when you guys are there.

Cables, cables, cables!! It's all about the cables!!

I got tired of my DK2 and put it in the box and away. I hated the cable mess it brought me. The headset cable is so short that I had to turn my PC around, exposing its ugly rear with all the cables sticking out. I curse the cables, especially when my...
