video through DK2 lens uploading now.

A word of warning, i took one for the team a bit here as i now have a couple of scratches on the lens i was filming through, the lenses on DK2 scratch VERY EASY. I just lightly touched the phone case on it and 2 scratches! they dont seem to show when viewing through it so not the end of the world but if you are going to film through em then might be worth putting the plastic sleeve that came stuck to it back on first.

Its not the best quality but the best i can do with me samsung S3 at the minute. it looks way sharper and better by eye but should give you an idea of how readable the menus are at least, easily playable now.

will update when upload finished..

Unlucky mate :( I used to work in photography software and I was once given a very expensive lens at cost for doing a camera manufacturer a favour. I got a scratch on the front element but it just doesn't show at all and I hope it is the same for you. I looked into it and it is a bit like the way a camera can focus on a chain fence directly in front then focus to infinity and the chain fence disappears. Outside the depth of field everything else just gets further out of focus and eventually completely diffused.

DK2 and Kinect

Jeremy said:
I would like to suggest the following feature for DK2 Oculus, a "Look Through" mode:

The Developer Kit 2 of the Rift has a USB port for "peripherals".

Step 1: Attach a webcam to the USB port on DK2, attack to front of Rift:
Oculus1.png

Oculus2.png


Step 2: Allow users to create an area outline where their controls actually are.

Step 3: In game, when the "area" is in visible screen, composite the webcam image on top, in place: (Excuse the hack job, don't have a panorama screenshot)

Why not combine the DK2 with the Xbox Kinect, then you could use hand gestures to get the pilot in the game to press buttons on the game controls.
That combined with Voice Attack, as well could be good. :eek:
