So, $350 works out to be roughly £220, plus VAT makes it around £260. Is that what you paid, Grim...? |

Are there any issues with it being a dev kit at all, or should it just keep working indefinitely? It will keep working, but depending on the next version, it my not be supported by various features in the future. There won't be any consideration towards backwards compatibility, as it isn't a consumer kit. i.e. the DK1 works still, but there are some demos you can't run on it due to them expecting certain abilities that the DK1 just doesn't have. It all depends on how different the commercial version will be to the DK2 as to how long it will stay current. Nobody knows yet though. |

Quote: The much-anticipated PC version of "Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V)" is expected to be released on January 27, 2015. A few months delayed from the Xbox One and PS4 version release on November 18. Recently, Take-Two Interactive addressed the reason behind the delay. http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/571486/2 ... FoIUPmsX2E |

Oculus rift news now!
The optics in Crescent Bay "smooth out the space between the pixels" such that, effectively, it looks like a higher res display. Nate: "We want the FoV to be roughly over 110 degrees diagonal. I think the Crescent Bay FoV is actually on par with the DK2, I don't think it's significantly bigger or smaller." "There probably won't be another devkit for the headset. But with input--we haven't shown anything quite yet--so when it does come out, it may be that it's more of a feature prototype that evolves into a devkit or something like that before it comes fully to market." On CV2: "We don't know necessarily what CV2 looks like right now -- -- putting together the Oculus research team up in Redmond, that's one of the things they're looking at, the longer term roadmap. We'll see what features come into CV2. It could be that it's a quick iteration on CV1 that, you know, addresses some of the things that we think fundamentally change the experience, but are more iterative and less groundbreaking new technology. But, CV2 could also be totally different and an entirely new experience, and input could change..." 90hz refresh rate (probably overdriven display) Positional sound that goes beyond the normal ground plane 360 degree by introducing z axis. Sound SDK will be provided. Reduced screen door effect through optical diffusion. And finding the sweet spot between meaningful fov and performance. Rigid head mount for better weight distribution and comfort. Different face shape is an issue. Also, Crescent Bay is lighter than DK2. Multiple prototypes happening every month, and the Crescent Bay is 6 month old tech. Getting the seated vr experience right first and then moving onto standing vr. Input research is being done. Companies acquired. Possible input dev kit before input launch. GearVR gave them an opportunity to learn a lot from. No launch date for CV1, but considering nothing mentioned at CES, I wouldn't expect it before Xmas at the earliest. |

Got one of these at work, it was proposed to use it for looking at molecules in 3D and moving them around with some sort of magic glove that has failed to appear as yet. Set up is a bit of mess, we don't tend to have many PC's with on-board graphics, then we find that the HP towers don't have a decent enough power supply with the right power cables for any decent cards That didn't stop my guys they got 2 towers side by side both of which had issues with CPU and or power, but then managed to use the power supply from one to power the card in the 2nd one and we are up and running! Look at some house with a garden and a Roller coaster. So far no business stuff has been seen on it Now things are degenerating with the advent of rift porn so I put my foot down on that. |

Now have a nice custom PC to drive this in the dept innovation\gadget room Uses a 980 and the rift works 100% better than before on the older PC's we were using So far its mostly gaming related demos and we installed a legit copy of GTA V on it today. We are having some clips made on 3D printer so we can mount a camera on the headset and along with the one on the PC screen should allow scientists to move molecules around. If it fails somebody else will have their nuts on the line and I get to keep the kick ass PC and other stuff that was "needed" for this  When I say keep I mean in the dept at work! |

A PS4 with Xbox Controllers? They're using a PC. You use the right stick to turn, just like in normal games. Otherwise you'd have to turn your head 360 degrees to spin around, dingbat. |

Are they? But they black. Oh right. Gotcha. Weird, cause what you say about 360 degrees now makes sense but at the time I was watching it I was imagining pushing the screen around by looking left and right as if you head was the right stick. Which now I think about actually does make a bit of sense. And now I'm all worried that adding your head camera into the typical "move and turn" stick movement scenario might be a bit confusing. |

I'm hoping to get some VR action at the Eurogamer show. I've technically had a shot of an Oculus but it was a crappy thing the BBC set up for the Commonwealth Games rather than any kind of games. They had a camera set up at one of the venues which was basically sending a huge 360 degree image to the Science Centre and then the head tracking of the Oculus let the user 'look around' the image. It was pretty shite. |
