Oculus Rift

I hope they can overcome the low resolution issue.

I read on the Valve wiki that you need the most framerates (60+) for the best experience, since lower framerates would severely increase input lag and induce motion sickness.

The resolution problem also adds all kinds of development issues. I can`t even begin to imagine all the work that would be required to redo the Ballistic interfaces so that it would be readeable under the Oculus.

I think that when the guy looks down to rocket-jump on this video you can see that the in-game effect was not as pronounced because of the quick untracked movement. They must have some sort of smoothing algorithimworking on that

The dev kit is 720p (1280x800) but the commercial headset will be 1080p and should solve the resolution issues. Head tracking will solve a lot of the motion sickness issues (leaning forward and back currently do nothing). I have only played with my dev kit for a little bit, but the effect is really hard to explain to someone who hasn't strapped the thing on their head. The biggest issue to me is the motion sickness, it apparently takes quite a bit of time to get used to it. Your brain is extremely confused about the input its receiving.

we just got one here in the office, but theres a lot of face grease on the nose part from everyone wearing it... makes me not want to put it on lawl

Haha it's great when they're walking her towards the building and she actually falls back thinking she's going to physically feel herself walking into it.

SO tempted to buy a devkit just to try it.

Awwww she's adorable! Reminds me of my Nan

That was amazing. I cant wait until this thing arrives at our office

NICE

I reaaaallly want to play mirrors edge with it - but tuscany alone gets me motion sick in 5 minutes. I am hoping things like the hydra + standing up will help with this stuff in the future.

I'm so looking forward to purchase it!

This is totally going to be used for porn.

srsly ? it looks fucking hard to play FPS like this !

ya that was making me a bit sick

I think the problem is that the guy doesn't use the second stick (I'm assuming he's using a 360 pad to play) to turn his body. Instead he uses his head to turn his body and then use the second stick when he has to right himself or turn further than 90 degrees. You don't follow your where your face is looking in real life, so I think if the game was set up to just control head movement with the Rift then it would feel much more natural.

Maybe?
