From what I've seen, Microsoft's upcoming wall projection thing is a joke in comparison to the Oculus.
I wanted this from the first time I saw it on kickstarter, but now, seeing how different people react, I want to try it so badly and I am thinking of buying the dev kit!
I know I should WAIT for consumer release, but crap, I need this in my life.
I've waited for so long...this was always my dream....
2013(14), year of the best built PC I have ever owned.

Hahaha, they enabled spectators mode. Sensation of flying above that mediaval castle must be insane!
Also, they confirmed that this original developer kit uses screen with 30ms pixel latency. That is really bad. 7" devkit will be better [probably ~14 or 10].
With Oculus you focus your eyes on infinity. Eyes are very relaxed in that state.

Portal with the Oculus will be the ultimate test for motion sickness.
I personally feel the bigger problem won't be console maker but developers who have to program it from group up.

They are two completely separate things with totally different objectives. No need to compare.

Yeah, they said the next models will be better and it'd be a lot better for the consumer version.

Does anyone know the ship eatimates are for those who weren't part of the kickstarter but still preordered the dev kit? I heard the first production run only covered the kickstarter...

I wonder what the target is for the consumer unit.
I think that is ever changing. The lowest possible but no set limit I guess.

I was talking about it in a different thread, getting your head lopped off in Chivalry would be a terrifying experience with the Oculus Rift.

You could do that in theory. But you would be using less of what is already a low resolution panel. It wouln't be a good idea. Oculus excels at field of view and motion tracking, watching movies negates both of these things.

So it's only going to get better. Fab.

Well, I guess I'm just frustrated that the big guys aren't the ones advancing tech the way I want them to as they have way more money and connections at their disposal. I really disliked the Kinect and feel like the projector thing is another haphazard and ultra casually focused attempt at innovation. Problem is, innovation doesn't usually play it safe.

Apple and orange compare. You have a choice. You can't use both.
The question is which it is better.

Same. Kinect 2.0 with this would be interesting. Even for a simple demo where you look at environments. If they have it where if you walk in place with kinect that you walk in the game. Also use your legs and hands to move objects around.
If not, I might have to go for something like steam box(if sold at the right price) since I don't have a good pc..
Yeah, I hope so too. That has always been my main issue with all the 3D stuff and headsets over the years.
I will even wear motion tracking balls on the my hands. Three on one finger.
One on tip, one on the middle joint and beggining of the finger.
I would like to INTERACT with stuff by moving my hand and seeing it!
Many people will ly dow.
ed: just the notion of beeing able to operate or open PIPBOY when clicking "it" on "my" forearm....hhhnnggg

Can't wait to try it. This is where gaming is ultimately headed--true immersion in a virtual environment.
It's a shame I can't experience the technology without actually trying it, but I'd easily spend $200-300 on a consumer version.
And Skyrim is the perfect game to experience something like this. Imagine exploring that world with no screen borders.

So let me understand something, if I preoder the Oculus Rift Dev kit, these games would work out of the box?

Yeah. I would imagine there is zero chance that MS or Sony will support this device. Which is a crying shame.

Now imagine an interface using OR + Gestures. That would be so amazing!
Man this is incredible. I want one. NOW.

It looks like a really cool piece of tech but I don't understand the appeal. That's not a knock against it but I have been thinking about why so many people are enamored by the idea of wearing a headset like this and having the display be so close to you face.

I want to fly down the starwars deathstar trench wearing these. It would be fecking epic. In fact. Any space game would be truly amazing.
yeahe but never as good as games that develop with VR in mind.
And when over 10.000 Devs (and non Devs who can´t wait for consumer version) have their hands on it you will easily see 40-100 old games supporting OR after 1-2 months

Most 2D games would suck on this thing, as would 3D games with fixed cameras. And the super low resolution display would suck as well. And say goodbye to games with local multiplayer - you won't get your entire family to wear these things to play Mario Party or even Dance Central.
For a certain specific niche genre, the Oculus Rift will rock. For everything else, it'll just make the games worse.
You don't understand the appeal of virtual reality?
(also, optically, the display isn't close to your face)
Somewhat. I believe those are community mods to add support.
But it's not like a display that's really close to your face. Due to the optics and head tracking it's like you're in the game. There are no edges, the game world is all around you.

Wouldn't games that are already built for nVidia 3D Vision be more easily adaptable to the Rift, or are the two a little too separate for that?

So once they solve all the current problems, like color refreshing and resolution, what is this thing going to cost?
Nope. Stereoscopy is just one of many things that have to be done for Rift integration, and even for that NV's proprietary stuff isn't really usable for anyone else.
