Oculus Rift Arriving Today
- Thread starter Dad Rock
- Start date
Inb4 the move to the VR forum but OP, your life is about to change forever. You have every reason to be excited!
As with any new VR ownership announcement ... I'm incredibly excited for you, the next few days (weeks, months) are going to be very VERY exciting for you.
Are you getting the touch controllers too?

My brand new Oculus Rift is arriving today and I wanted to shout it from the rooftops! So excited right now
Can't wait to get this thing hooked up tonight and try out Elite: Dangerous.
Wait till u see the size of everything thru the rift....it blew my mind, im sure it will blow yours too lol
It's amazing, you'll love it. I'm also pretty excited cause I haven't been able to use my rift in a while cause I have no contact lenses (I wore my first rift with glasses and they actually scratched the rifts lenses, I got a free replacement). I ordered a pair of lenses from the VR lens lab (lenses that fit into the rift) and they should be arriving any day now, so it's like I'm getting my rift again since it's been about 2 months since I could use it.
Yeah i tried mine with glasses on, seems it wasnt designed for people that use glasses. Well, for me anyway, my glasses are like sunglasses, they arent exactly tiny lol. But, im going to keep trying different settings on the headset, see if i can find that sweet spot where i can have my glasses on.

Yes, I have! Not sure whether we'll ever be able to use them in Elite, but it would be nice to one day.

Also, once you've finished marvelling at Elite and want to try something else, absolute must-have recommendations ...
- Google Earth VR (free and AMAZING, the world is truly your oyster)
- Tilt Brush (everyone should have at least one VR painting program, this is my favoruite, brilliant intuitive use of Touch controllers)
- Robo Recall (insane amount of fun using touch controller to destroy robots in 100's of imaginative and amusing different ways)
- Lone Echo (the single best Oculus Touch game out there - proper AAA content - absolutely stunning!)
- Valve's "The Lab" (available from SteamVR) - packed full of amazing mini-games and demos, all done with Valve's hilarious and inimitable style)
- Aircar (free tech demo - imagine being able to fly around Blade Runner's rainy city in an air car - it's like that)
- Showdown (simple early free VR tech demo - non interactive but a brilliant quick demo to show people when they come around your house)
- Allumette (free animated movie, really beautiful and moving, nice one to give other people a short VR experience - child friendly)
- The Rose and I (ditto)
Welcome to VR!
As people said, it is a whole new world.
Only problem I have is that every time i come out of hyperspace I get a star in the face...
Oh well, you get used to it!

Congrats! My replacement headset should be arriving this week after the first one was DoA. Looking forward to joining the VR club! Thanks for the app tips Alec, will test them all
Thanks! That must have been such a buzz kill. Hope you get yours soon!
Looking forward to it! I'd run out of fake names to give the sales people at the Rift Stand in John Lewis
