Great, positive interview from a non-techie/gamer perspective.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQc5htN2utQ(Not sure why the [YouTube] tag isn't working, am I doing something wrong CyberReality?)
I could be wrong, but I believe VR sickness will be a major problem that will force developers to build applications that minimize user movement. While a READY PLAYER ONE vision of VR is tantalizing, I don't see the sickness problem being solved anyt...
Arrived yesterday, tried it out last night, blogged this am.http://unseenu.quora.com/Its-an-Oculus-Morning
Hi Oculus,as there is no "Feature requests" board I gotta have to post it here (please move if it doesn't fit in here).Please implement this "hotfix" to the consumer version for the horizontal vision:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... 8FSuxA...
An interesting technique to create the illusion of infinite virtual spaces in a finite physical space. http://phys.org/news/2013-04-virtual-reality-team-infinite-environments.html
Somebody asked for a closeup photo of the Rift screen in another thread. I can't find the exact post anymore, so I will post it in a new thread.The photo below shows reasonably accurate how the pixels look on the Rift screen (left side of the photo i...
My friend and I did a full teardown of the rift. We made a video of it, and then put it on youtube. Here is a link to the youtube video.http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments ... _teardown/
It seems like it could be possible to connect multiple hydras for additional tracking. With additional hydra(s) you could track head position, both hands, and possibly even feet. Has anyone tried this yet to see if it works in any of the engines?
It seems that if the consumer version is 1080p, it will be pretty darn big.I made a picture ( see link below ) I don't know if that is accurate but im pretty sure it is.So won't having higher resolution make the Rift bigger and probably slightly heav...
If you bind that key to W with xPadder, would that make you move forward? I have not confirmed this but does it work?
Hi there,I wonder if the next DevKit (or at least the consumer version) will have a headphone jack on the HMD itself? As the device is connected per HDMI anyway, this should not be a real problem, doesn't cost much but will make the setup much easier...
Hello,First of all, I'm currently living in Mexico. Normally when ordering from US-based stores, I NEVER choose the option to ship internationally because from experience, I have received opened stuff, broken stuff, and paid stupidly high import fees...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZHcHLxtnZYSomething like this with oculus rift and a big fan right in front of you so you think it's the wind. It would probably be awesome
So... pretty much, T_T I am frustrated at the wait. I know it's coming, and I'm not complaining... just putting my frustration out there. I know that they are being shipped, and that I'll get mine eventually... T_T I just want it now.Anything you guy...
Greetings, does anybody have any knowledge pertaining to the numbering system for Rift orders? I have #49xxx, surely there weren't that many devkits ordered? Thanks.

As someone thinking about developing for the Rift not on a demo but commercial level I do have questions regarding the coming Oculus store.- when will the store open?- will it be a platform for developers to sell their Rift compatible titles?- if so ...
What is wrong with Oculus support. How incompetent are they that they cannot manage dev kit deliveries in a more effective manner.This is now a huge PR issue. Continued requests for "patience" are not acceptable anymore. I have been waiting over 9 mo...
Hi All,I am still waiting on my oculus, can't wait. Just wondered what machine Specs people were running on or are looking to use it on.. And also if anyone has their rift already have you tried running it on a low spec machine or a laptop?Does it ex...
Is the Oculus Rift ready UDK only available via the developer.oculus.com download at the moment?It's a very slow download and in the past I have had problems with the other downloads aborting just before they finished, so in the end I HAD to download...
I thought we might do an informal count off.I'm number 1346 and the web page says my order just shipped.

Any news on when the second batch might be going out? I'm order number 502. I was wondering if the second batch means they might go out this week or if the Chinese new year thing means they won't go out for another month. I understand that you probab...
Hi I am wondering if HD 3D VR can possably correct myopia by tricking the eye into believing it is seeing at a distance.
I'm probably not allowed to do this, but I'm doing it anyway:There's a Kickstarter happening now for a really awesome looking game designed exclusively for the Oculus Rift and Virtual Reality. It's called The Gallery: Six Elements. The level of thoug...
Can someone with a Rift test this for me, since my Rift won't arrive for a few weeks. I'm trying to get the Rift head-tracking working with Doom 3 BFG. I have no idea whether this works at all, or axes are inverted, or if it's 180/pi times as fast as...
Can you give a rough estimate of the Linux support release date? Is it likely to be more than a few weeks?
Okay, just going to cut to the chase, we need more games to be supported for the Oculus Rift soon. Everyone is on their toes waiting to test things out but we hardly have anything at the moment, I know it is just being released but the hype is gettin...
Hello Everyone,I'm curious to know if any of you attended either of the talks Valve gave at GDC this year. Both talks seem like a good place to get some relevant information on the basic issues we'll be facing. Are there any info/links/cliff notes ou...
