Dear Oculus team,Thank you very much for OR. It is an excellent gadget. But I am very angry about the shipping...I paid 250 dollars for custom clearance, tax and handling fee. The main reason that makes me angry is not only the money...it is the time...
So I just got my rift today and went to try out a few demos but the head tracking isn't working for the demos, although the head tracking works for Oculus Configuration Utility settings viewer. I was wondering how I could go about making it work with...
OK, the consumer version will come out in the 4th quarter of 2014, this is confirmed. So it will be about 18 month from now. My Desktop PC right now is a piece of sh*t , my Laptop as well. When its november 2014 and I´ll tell my wife "Hey love, I nee...
I got the chance to try out the Oculus Rift this week. I wanna try Tuscany, Titans of space and Epic Citadel Rollercoaster. Any other must-see-demos? Your recommendations please
I am working on getting some classic FPS games to work with the rift.So far I have the following games working:DoomDescent 1, 2Quake IIHalf-LifeUnreal tournamentStartrek Voyager Elite ForceI am using GLDirect + Vireio (1.1.0) for this, and it seems t...
Hello Rifters!So i spend the last evening with the Rift for the first time,and what can i say, don't know where to start, this thing is reallya game changer!For me was the scale and the 3D (especially very close things) themost impressive, it is F***...
Hey guys, I got FEAR 2 running now in the rift, but 2 issues remain.The first and by far the most important issue, the sizes/feel/scale is wrong. Everything looks gigantic in the game, and the sense of depth isnt great as a result. I already changed ...
The Quote "I reject your Reality and substitute my own" comes from Adam Savage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8qcccZy03s) and while I really like it, I also feel that it fits VR very well.Having missed out on the Love VR T-Shirts that were part of ...
In this episode, the Rift Kids try out the Ocean Rift demo. The first two don't venture out too far, but the third seems to be asking for it. I, of course, knew that the shark was coming. She... did not. :twisted: The Rift Kids are anxious to do many...
In this episode, I demonstrate how the Oculus Rift experience is when wearing prescription glasses. Not terrible, but not ideal either.
We have come along way in VR since 1993, check the following video from 10m27 >Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to embed video to start at the required position!
I've been playing First Person Shooter games since Wolfenstein 3D came out. I've been playing the Halo series since day one on the original xbox. When given the option, I always, ALWAYS used and inverted up/down thumbstick.There's never been a questi...
This doesn't make sense. There are countless ga,es that run in tridef in sbs mode (bioshock infinite, fear 2, etc) but they don't run if you set tridef to "oculus rift mode". I mean, if they can get a ga,e to work I tridef, how hard can it be to simp...
The instructions for SHOCT calibrating on Vireo do not work. For one, how can one tell where the exact cent of one's eye is to line up a red line to it? Secondly, half of the buttons do nothing (ie, pressing the F buttons needed to move convergence d...
Rev VR - How to Install the Oculus Rift. Also, a quick unboxing!
I couldn't find a list anywhere of all the resolution modes that the computer (Mac in my case) sees as supported by the Rift dev kit. That would be a useful list, for people to compare and find resolutions in common with their mirrored or split displ...
I understand that if i use the OR config utility,it will save my settings which SHOULD be picked up by games/apps.. But what about another user.My other 1/2 is MUCH smaller than me and my settings are going to be completely wrong for her... Whats the...
Hi all,I'm too amazed of the rift, but the low res screen is a bit of a let down, even for a dev kit. (never thought 720p screen could be obsolete so quickly).Was wondering if there are any projects out there which manually upgraded the screen, It se...
I have a question for you guys, I notice on the dev Rift that the 3d effect is not perfect; the background is flat and the only 3d I feel is when object are close to my eyes, it feels like the 3d on a imax movie. I wonder if it is the screendoor effe...
After five days of experimenting I feel I can give an informed set of first impressions of the Rift.Hardware: it feels good, the fit is comfortable and the headbands make it easy to get it quite solidly set on my head in combination with my (wireless...
I've seen a lot of cool faceplate/visor "mods" for lack of a better term. Seems like almost every picture of someone's personal dev kit, they have googly eyes, or symbols, or something on that faceplate. I realize most of us here are techies and/or h...
Is the oculus case supposed to close smoothly without any force. In my case i need to apply pressure to close the last centimeter.
is it possible to turn off mouse movement tracking and use the Oculus as a 3d display to play all sort of games and even be on windows by using nvida 3d vision for 3dtvbasically use it as a head mounted 3d monitorhttp://www.nvidia.com/object/3dtv-pla...
Hi Guys,At first and for a large part of my life, there was no oculus rift, I put in the order for 2 of them a long time ago, and of course I just received that order a few weeks ago. But like many of you out there, the wait was unbearable and about ...

In this episode of Rev VR, The "Rift Kids" try out the Oculus Rift for the first time. Watch as they have their first VR experiences, and then give their reactions. The "Rift Kids" are anxious to do many more Oculus Rift demos!
Hello all. I think this has great potential as a rift ride demo. Can someone make this ride with the song playing throughout? I have zero unity pro experience, but I'm a fast learner (if I had all the cardboard objects, I would be able to animate thi...
When it comes out, millions associated with kids, teens, adults, and so on will buy that. They will perform bad games including battle field a couple of... Battle field 2 and other violent games de-sensitize people about killing. Sure, you would cert...
I've seen this come up in several places, and have had this conversation myself. How do you explain the Oculus Rift to someone who isn't into VR already, or isn't necessarily technically inclined? That is why I made this my first video on the Oculus ...
Like many of us, my eye sight is crap. I often have to "squint" to read my monitor if I'm running any HD resolutions. anything farther than that, unless it's in big bold text, is unreadable. Normally, this isn't a problem (well, ok, it is), and I gen...
