Hi everyone, I am a long time lurker in these forums and am eagerly awaiting arrival of my DK2. I am expecting to be primarily using the DK2for iRacing where I currently produce regular YouTube videos using my HD webcam capturing a view of myself and...
Hey guys,I may be in the minority here, but I felt DK1 was really like I was looking into a pair of binoculars and looking into a room through those binoculars, which broke the immersion many, many times. Has the design of DK2 changed this feeling at...
Just been watching this (old) vid:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc_TCLoH2CAThen it occurred to me, why not do what this guy did with the twin cameras on the front of the Rift, but play in front of a green screen and have the software chroma key it ...

I'm certain that experiences like K&L's senza peso will be a new artform in the near future. I don't know wether to call it a demo, a vrexperience or what i'd like a vrmovie. What I'd realy like to know is: What mechanics do you think improve the ove...

Conan O'Brian at E3. Awesome funny video:http://www.gamespot.com/articles/watch-conan-o-brien-troll-e3/1100-6420595/
I've noticed some demos are completely full screen and some only render a tall oval per eye. I'm assuming the player will never see anything outside of the oval render area and so it's not rendered to save resources? Is the actual experience between ...
Hey Forum,I wonder....could the same formulas and code that is responsible for conveying a depth perception parallax effect on the iphone and the Fire Phone be used for another purpose within VR....in that i wonder if someone (whom is working on inte...
Hi, I'm Mike, and a year ago I was laughed off these forums (not that I went anywhere) because members were not ready to accept my solution for cheap, portable treadmill simulation. No worries, I can laugh at myself. To that end, and to commemorate t...
When I saw Avatar in 3D for the first time, I was blown away. I decided to go see it again the next day! However, when I did, after 10 minutes I just left the theater and went to see some other movie. The WOW effect was simply not there anymore. The ...
Has anyone seen a Luge Street or Snow OR demo?RJ
I have only been playing with the Unity 3d engine for three days, but I can already see how it may not he suitable for a high quality Oculus Rift Experience. I know there are scripts etc and you can probably ramp it up with all the plug-ins, but I th...
Input devices for VR help you interact with and in the virtual world. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are gloves, some are full suits, some are guns, some are rooms that track your movement, some are spheres you go inside, some are wings, som...
Alright, so I have a question, for the first time set up with my DK2 (when it arrives) I figured I should buy a driver such as tridef and then that would be the end of it, I could play games with my DK2. But everyone says here I need to render games ...
Nathan Grayson over at Kotaku is thinking the thrill is gone. What say you?http://tmi.kotaku.com/i-think-im-getting-bored-of-virtual-reality-1591731928/+lukeplunkettArticle highlights for the clicking impaired:In truth, I really don't think it'll eve...
It has been a couple months since the last episode of TalkVR. Has Cymatic Bruce discontinued it? I hope not because I really enjoyed that (I was starting to get into a nice weekly routine of watching The Tek, followed by TalkVR, followed by listening...
So after looking at all the possible input devices etc for VR are we actually closer to the likes of sensory deprivation tanks and EEG with VR than we think? Although it might seem pretty out there to a lot of folks is it really? I mean the further E...
Hi everyone! I do a weekly show for the French public based on current VR and I will be happy to discuss your plans, here is for example the video of the week (English subtitled). If you want me to talk about your projects, I would gladly do it, yo...
http://www.gizmag.com/sharp-free-form-display/32592/I know this is Sharp promoting these not Samsung and a circular display will have the same cost as a square display of the same width. But when people speculate about the CV display they usually ass...
I have chosen a route to produce content via the XML format that is used in the Tuscany Demo.This is rather than choosing one of the engines and the common object import format.The XML content is very rudimentary. It could be expanded to include anim...
I seem to have a high idle temp when I have the Rift connected to my PC (even with the Rift switched off).I have a GTX 780 gpu, which usually idles at 29C. However if I connect the Rift, it idles at 40C. This is regardless of whether the Rift is on o...
Hey guys, So I'm a software engineer/programmer/gamer. I, like many of you, have dreamed of the day VR would finally arrive, and have followed Oculus since before DK1 (before there was "Oculus"). I got the DK1 and instantly started messing around w...
I'm looking for an "idea person" to collaborate with for a really simple and short free mini demo. I can only spend around 2 hours creating this demo, so the idea needs to be easily implementable using free assets from the Unity asset store. It can't...
Hi all, I'd like to hear your opinion. It appears that AMOLED displays can be very susceptible to irreversible burn-in: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/realworld/386635/are-amoled-displays-at-risk-of-burn-inThe damage sets in quite quickly, when illuminating ...
My friends and family, they don't own a PC. Sure, they have a Apple Air laptop, iPad, mobile phones, smart tv... but nobody owns a PC rig with a video card, big monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.The PC is simply obsolete for ordinary folks.In fact, if I ...
I like different treadmills like Virtuix OMNI and others.. but. I doubt someone can spend 2, 3, 5 hours playing Oculus Rift + OMNI treadmill. So I think about mini treadmill under the table (30 x 30 cm or less). You sitting on the chair and move your...

Hey Forum,I have heard Oculus say time and time again that they are targeting the "seated experience". I took this literally as simply saying they want people to enjoy VR content while siting down and thus differentiate themselves (to alleviate confu...
