Oculus DK2 demos near you

There are a lot of us with DK2s, and quite a few more Elite fans thinking about getting one. Like the matrix, these things have to be experienced to be understood. Screenshots and reviews really don't convey what it is like, and the technology is so new that people need to go in with their eyes open (sorry) to the limitations.

I let a couple of forum members try my setup last week at the premiere, and I understand both are now getting their own DK2s.

As a community we can help each other out here, and maybe raise a little charity cash along the way.

I'm suggesting that anyone who is willing to be contacted through the forum to give a 1:1 rift demo should post their rough location in this thread. Anybody who is reading this who would like to try ED in the rift can then drop a PM to you. The rest is up to individuals - obviously you stay safe when meeting people from the internet, but my experience so far is that this community are a friendly bunch.

I think a £5-$10 donation to Special Effect would be a reasonable thing for a rift demo, no?


I'll start. I'm just south of Cambridge, UK.
 
Neat idea. I'm quite hesitant to invite strangers to my place, but I'm always up for supporting charitable foundations and sharing the rift experience. If there's interest, we could probably work something out via PM on an individual basis.

Western Austria here.

I was one of those forum members. :) I was so impressed I've had my own DK2 since Thursday!

I'll add my name to this initiative when my house is in a fit state for visitors (renovating presently). I'm in the Northampton, UK area.
 
If there was a BYOD demo area, and if I had a cargo van for my setup, I would be willing. I could rent the van for a day.

- Obutto Revolution
- HOTAS
- Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
- Oculus Rift
- Triple Monitors *soon*
- 12u Rack with mounted equipment (2 computers, battery backup, NAS) *soon*
 
Well I am out near Dubai (Bahrain) Probably won't help most people, if anyone is in this region I have the full HOTAS/pedels & BKGamer setup. Anyone is more than welcome, plenty of food & Beer too ;)

Will also have an identical setup in London around February (South East, Crystal Palace)

good thread. I have mentioned in other threads I am happy to demo mine.

I am in Haverhill near Cambridge (UK). All being well from tomorrow I will be running it using a GTX980 as well so I can crack up the eye candy.
 
if I had a cargo van...

This seems legit
