Egg on my face. I had a pre-order with Oculus but I cancelled it after the astounding lack of communication last week, wasn't confident at all that they'd get it to me in time for the 6th. Oh well, should be delivered tomorrow so that'll do - apparently all the Touch content on Oculus Home isn't available until tomorrow anyway so no great loss. |

They emailed me last week saying I'd have my touch controllers soon. It may not work on the Oculus store tonight, but works on Steam, amusing. |

Yeah, all the Steam content will be available - and they've updated SteamVR to support Touch haptics now too, which is mucho primo good. |

Set up the second sensor for room scale in Oculus. Seems to be ok even in my small office. Compared to SteamVR which wasn't happy with it at all. Touch controllers are much like the Vive wands but with extra functionality - it's cool being able to point and give thumbs up depending on which triggers and grips you're holding down. Played a bit of basketball in Sports Challenge - quite fun and a bit of a workout. I've run out of time now but will give some other stuff a whirl tomorrow! |

Highlights of that include the Doc putting his foot out to stop an instrument he’d dropped and how amused I was at smashing the patients rib cage in with a baseball bat to get it open. Also, throwing the old tools over my shoulder when I’d finished with them. Amazing. Relatedly… I *may* be going to a Microsoft event next Monday where they *may* have hololens on display. I know nothing about the system but can compare it to my experience with the Vive. I shall report back if it goes ahead. |

I have shamefully barely used my touch controllers - the mitigating factor is that I (we) have far too much stuff and it needs to be stored in that room. I don't really have enough space for roomscale. On the other hand I've put about 400 hours into the headset itself - I estimate about 390 of those hours are with iRacing though - which is fine as that was the primary use case for me. |

| Post subject: | Re: Oculus Rift |
Yeah, but if there's one thing I've discovered since getting Touch controllers, it's that VR isn't really all that it's cracked up to be when you're not able to engage in the world that much - and the motion controls and tracking on the PSVR systems I've tried (a friend's, and the one at the Arcade Club) was a serious step back from what I'm used to. |
