sooo then the question is... oculus or htc? xDDD
i mean oculus looks a bit heavy (physical weight)
vr should be light weight for not putting so much pressure on neck for longer use.

OR, IMO, (that's any good anyway) like that is several years away. Someday though.....
Unboxing images. The "Escort unpredictable, untracked objects from the space" made me smile - not sure if they were referring to the cat or wife

Vive should be in Cambridge by now
With all of the Unboxing videos available now it would seem reasonable to suspect that Frontier are now in possession of their very own Vive. I for one would very much like to know how it plays and any Devs thoughts on the tech vs Elite dangerous.
Cmon Michael ... I know you are reading this!
Maybe this ?

indeed.... assuming they are not under an NDA it would be cool to have a little section in Michael's Dev update post regarding all things VR.
Not officially, but im 90% certain
How are you 90% certain?
The fact that they appeared on Steam just after Steam/HTC announced the Vive and that games need to be on Steam for devs to get access to devkits is a clue.

By being 10% unsure?

Lol
A Q&A session with DB I attended... Reading between the lines i believe that they have a VIVE at Frontier. I think there is a non disclosure agreement in place though. Like I said though, I've been here a while poking, prodding and generally nosying and am 90% sure. Lets ask them though...

Inferential observation.

Reading between the lines of various things going on regarding the history between Oculus and Valve then add in stuff like SteamVR then to be quite honest i am 99.9% sure Elite will be on Vive. Possibly official partner
That's what I was thinking. Not sure about official but considering there was no mention of ED when Oculus presented the (pre-release) CV1 maybe FD have jumped ship on thinking the CV1 is the go to VR unit. Vive does "sound" a lot better regarding resolution and from reviews I've read where people have experienced it they sound blown away compared to the pre-release Oculus.
The res of the release Oculus isn't much better than Dk2 and only software will help to hide those pixels. It does seem odd they've had so much time to develop and with so much of a money injection from Facebook it just doesn't really make a lot of sense why they seem to have stalled at the last hurdle.
I'm only basing my views on reactions from people that have used the pre-release versions (or as near as at this stage) and from what I've seen on video presentations from Oculus etc. I guess time will tell !
