When I last looked into how the SDK rendering works it was something
like this, IIRC:The application two normal views of the scene, according
to viewport parameters supplied by the SDK.The resulting framebuffers
and depth buffers are then transformed...
For starters, I don't really like DK2's tracking. It's accurate only
within a small area and the mounting of the camera is very restrictive.
For instance if you want to use the Rift in the same position as you
were sitting at your regular desktop you...
I've bought a Creative Soundblaster Play! USB sound dongle to use on the
DK2s USB port. Just in advance, I've plugged in the additional Power
supply, but it hasn't got any effect. And I tried several different USB
ports, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 alike. Th...
I am a little disappointed how dark the DK2 gets when using low
persistance, the tradeoff is obvious... The shorter the light is
switched on the less light arrives at the eye (duh).There is a
'brightness overdrive' on/off functionality in the world d...
I've got issues wearing the DK2 for any reasonable period of time.
Straight out the box with A lens cups they press against my nose and
cheeks, it's insufferable to use. With B cups it's a little bit better
but I still have to extend the eye relief t...
To be clear the performance issue was not the distortion process itself
but the requirement of rendering about ~3 times many pixel that would be
necessary for a 2D 1080p screen.What are the specific advantages of
using Vulkan for VR? Is there a high ...
Even if you can't disable optimus in the bios you still can get
something useful by explicitly choosing the dedicated card in the Nvidia
control panel and switching to prefer maximum performance in the
advanced/power management settings.This way whil...

So after scrapping OSX and Linux support to "focus on the main platform"
and a freaking partnership with Microsoft they can't even keep up with
the update cycle.Should have left the software Open Source so outside
contribution and testing happen. Tha...
