Right!Facepalmer Luckey!xD

Would this be an issue for the screens in the Rift?

Interesting article about how smartphone screens are damaging our health due to over exposure to blue-violet light. Given that the screen in a VR headset is a smartphone screen placed close to the eyes, could it also be a problem for VR or do the len...

Watch full Sony Unveil of project Morpheus

Just watched the full video from Sony's GDC meeting on Morpheus and im impressed at what they have done so far and how they presented it. Also impressed that President Shuhei Yoshida makes special mention to Oculus VR and Valve saying that their work...

Oculus please give Cymatic Bruce the first DK2

Hi Oculus,Can you give Cymatic Bruce the first one, so we can watch his videos again while we are waiting in the queue. It worked well last time.Or me whichever you feel is right. 

Latest message from Palmer to enthusiasts!!!

10 great scenes to experience in the Oculus

Hi AllIts not really a top 10 but more an extended review of some of the best scenes and locations you can visit with your Rift today.

Thinking of skipping DK2

$400 sort of puts it in the range of real devs only. I'm just a hobbyist not sure if the changes warrant upgrading yet.I've already done positional tracking with the rift and Kinect. I'm thinking my VR budget would be better spent tinkering with some...

Not that my opinion matters VS $2B but...

I'm very disappointed by the FB deal. I was hoping that Oculus would tough it out, and eventually become a private company like Valve. Become one of the legendary companies among gamers who care. Become a company spawned from the community, funded by...

Exciting news for Oculus fans

I may be one of the only people who views this Facebook acquisition as a huge benefit to Oculus. First off I'd like to ask that nobody in this thread complain about the deal as there are plenty of topics which you can complain in, this is for discuss...

Pre-Ordering the DK2 from Germany (VAT/Taxes/Shipping)

HelloI allready have the Oculus Rift DK1 and want to Pre-Order the DK2 as fast as possible, but I wonder why I have to pay the VAT direct at purchase and not at the German custom-service like I had to do last time with the DK1?Cause the Shipping to G...

DK2 camera

It seems that I misread some parts of the DK2 spec, and thought that the camera had been moved onto the HMD itself. I assumed that this would work using the same methods used by the Kinect, but in reverse. I.e., by tracking the "movement" of the outs...

Will DK2 work with P5 Glove, Kinect, or Wiimote?

Will the DK2 work with other IR VR input devices like the Essential Reality P5 Glove, the Kinect, or the Wii Remote? Or will they interfere?I'm assuming the Wii Remote will still work, since its camera is facing the opposite direction (until you aim ...

Spectre needs 2k to get funded, lets give them a hand!

I think we own apology for Palmer & Co

As he have told, company was "sold" to ventures time ago. Now they just found bigger player to give some, ok lots, money and freedom to make best VR experience. Ok Facebook is Facebook, but there is better and worse companys, but Red cross doesnt act...

The scariest part of the deal has nothing to do with FB/OVR

The single scariest thing to me about the deal has nothing to do with the deal itself. The scariest thing is that cleverusername was right all along! I remember arguing with him about Palmer being a sellout (and whether he is or not is whatever, I st...

So can facebook money make this thing lighter ?

So now that they've used up all the good will they have gained by selling out to facebook. Do you think facebook can get this lighter ? Its just shy of a pound and that's much to fat . They need to get it to half that weight or less. What can they do...

RIP Oculus, VR revolution: see you in another 15 years

Facebook paid 2 billions on Oculus, they will want to get that money back in time and there is only a single way a company like facebooks does that. A way that will without doubt kill any hardware business. Why couldn't they just invest the same amou...

They could only sell 75000 Dev kits while in our good graces

Lets see how much they sell now that everyone has rightfully turned on them. Look forward the seeing the Oculus flop. Sell outs.User was warned for this post by cybereality. Too many trolling threads from the same user.

tested on oculus acquisition

worth the watch, vr discussion starts around 40 min in

Clearing up the misconceptions

(partially stolen from another thread, but I thought it deserved to have it's own thread, this seems to be a critical misunderstanding)The simple reality is that none of you have the slightest idea of the specific and intricate details of the contrac...

Why is everyone in an uproar about Facebook buying oculus?

Personally, I believe what palmer luckey stands in. I believe he made a good choice by going with FaceBook. Why you ask? Let me answer it this way, Palmer wanted to make the Oculus Rift the most affordable way to go into the "VR world" if it wasn't f...

75Hz low persistency...Won't it flicker BADLY?

I remember back in the day i couldn't stand anything less than 100hz on a crt...I whined and bitched to people when i had to repair their windows setup and could only get their crappy CRT running at 85hz...which most of the time was the first thing y...

If I could ask Oculus two question about the FB acquisition

First, I want to say that I generally think that in the short run the acquisition will be good for Oculus, it will allow them to produce better hardware, faster, and at cheaper entry point, making VR gaming more exciting.But my concern is not the har...

Things are able to move quicker statements

Ever since the Facebook news I've heard a number of statements from people from Oculus saying due to the Facebook acquisition things are able to move quicker. But I'm a little confused as a recent interview with Palmer he said it won't affect the rel...

IEEE VR 2014

Who's going to IEEE VR 2014 here in MN next week? It's my first one - really looking forward to it.If your travel plans fit, there are a couple great local groups (which I help organize  ) that have events bookending the conference. A talk by Impuls...

Wider field of view now they have the funds?

Hi there I apologise for my ignorance but with this new funding from FB and Palmer hinting at 'not having to rely on the scraps from the mobile industry' does this mean they can make their own screens?Can someone explain the limitations for me please...

there wont change anything about oculus guys dont panic

lol, it's like people don't understand acquiring companies. all that changes now is that occulus will have a parent company: facebook. i'm sure nothing about the occulus rift itself is going to change anytime soon.

VR 10 years from now.

I wonder what VR will be like 10 years from now. What kind of immersion is possible? I mean, will I put on my HMD and be somewhere else with all my senses and body? So when I look down I see my real feet and legs and my jeans as it is in real life? A...
