Hardware & Technical Non ED related Oculus Rift DK 2 Discussion Thread
- Thread starter Sir.Tj
- Start date
Just having a nose around in anticipation for my OR turning up in July (fingers crossed.)
I was curious on how the OR would work with 3D films and found a bit of software called VRplayer.
http://vrplayer.codeplex.com/
Has anyone with a DK1 had any experience with this?
Seems quite promising.
Didn't try that one, but did use the virtual cinema one - http://www.uxground.com/. Needless to say resolution was the main issue but it was a nice wee demo showing possibilities outside of gaming. And it is weird watching a 3D film on a 2D screen that only existed in a 3D generated world!
But it definitely does work.I suspect the difference with what you linked to is that it'd be like showing the cinema screen only and none of the rest of the environment, and that the image would be fixed in place.
Second in the queue! Although, I suspect there may be others before us elsewhere.

I gave it a try on my work PC and it seems to do a good job of conversion, until I actually have the DK2 it's hard to tell. Might be worth someone who still has DK1 to give it a try and report back.
Here are a couple of screengrabs

The rotten swines!!!!
Hope we are in the 1st batch to receive them.
No way of finding out how many were before us I suppose?
Last person on the list has somehow managed to pre-order their pre-order.
Knew I should have paid a bit more attention.
Although at 9:10 theres only 100 before that time so.....
Would this thread serve?

yep, held off the DK1 but with a higher resolution and full tracking there was no way i was not getting DK2.
It's more designed for developers to create content on ahead of the launch of the first consumer device, rather than as a beta test unit. I'm sure developers do report any issues with the SDK though.
DK1 was 720p 60Hz LCD, 3DOF
DK2 is 1080p low persistence OLED (60, 72 and 75Hz), 6DOF
So DK2 is far in advance of the DK1.
Since I'm here, how would one of these displays fare in a CV1?
Feast your PUNY eyes on highest resolution phone display EVER.

Pretty damn well I should think
A friend of mine attended GDC this year and had a chance to try out the DK2 for himself, he said it is far above the quality of the DK1. It didn't make him dizzy, the resolution and motion tracking was good enough that it was not really noticed, and the only time he was disoriented was when he actually took the goggles off.
