..........................Do you....................................?
But they should also note that according to photoshop that mockup was last edited on April 24th 2015. So I would bet that most of the product shots are going to be what is revealed on Thursday. Unless maybe they were using old shots just for the mock up.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
It seems you're not quite so lightning fast yourself. Was edited in ages ago chap.

What's the little lens thing on the front?
He didn't say you used Beats. He correctly pointed out that many people seem to not know shit about audio and just judge headphones based on what they look like.
I liked better the ski mask thing to hold it in your head, cause i think plastic isn't that confortable to wear, i have a HMZ-T1 from Sony which i disassembled and mounted into a ski mask, and now is way better. But i think it'll be confortable too or they wouldn't have chosen this design. After watching what Vive looks like, and especially those 2 wired pad and the lighthouse stuff to put in your room, i'm all in with Oculus, it looks way more simple to set up and use

We'll find out in 46 hours, 50 minutes. My money's on a camera so you can look around your room without having to take the headset off, maybe even mix VR with real-life living spaces or use as an extra sensor for controller movement or something.
As someone who has a DK1 & 2, the ability to quickly look in my room without taking the headset off would be a godsend, especially if I need to type something or find a button on a controller.
Put it at the top of the OP. It works best that way so people can get a heads up right off the bat.
At the bottom it apparently has no effect.
I assume a front facing camera, so you can toggle between the game and being able to see around you via a video feed.
Don't forget hand tracking (pls pls pls pls pls pls)
The April-updated image was not the mockup of the Rift, but of the OS looking image.

Can you do away with the passive aggressive attitude and just answer me normally? If you have a CV1, how are the headphones? That's all I want to know.
Well I prefer over the ear headphones. My favorite headphones are Bose and Sennheisers. Does that make me some kind of sound idiot? If so that will be news to me.
Anyway If these sound great that would be a huge surprise to me. It sounds like bj00rn has some insider information about this set so if he knows differently I'd love to hear more.

Palmer has claimed these to be very good headphones since they announced it would be getting headphones, and specifically called out people who would dismiss them for their appearance. This is why people are reacting to your comments in this way.

The Crescent Bay prototype that's been demoed multiple times has these headphones already integrated. There's been positive impressions of them for a long while now.
Why would it be a huge surprise? Some excellent sounding headphones out there look average as hell, a nice looking plastic cover over the headphones isn't going to suddenly make them sound better. Don't understand how you can look at the headphones and somehow come to the conclusion that they probably won't sound very good.

If Palmer doesn't walk on stage wearing a powerglove I've be pretty disappointed all the same. Would be an amazing way to start the presentation as a 'How far we've come' point. Maybe take it seriously but actually using in in an Oculus demo.

OK thanks guys. I appreciate the straight answers rather than being insulted. I'm sorry I said they looked shitty.
As we've established I don't know anything about audio but thanks for adding to the dogpile. =(

Curved screen?
Concept mockup?
It's two screens. The curved piece is just the front panel.
There's no screen in the mockup. It's very dark, but if you up the brightness you can see inside those hollow cups. So this breakdown is missing the screen. Which is weird.
edit: Okay, I see it now, two screens had been confirmed in Crescent Bay, disregard, I suck mocks.
Dude, everybody knows that bulky plastic and flashing LEDs are what make quality headphones.
This has been shown for almost a month, it isn't new.
Well, yea. It was first shown silhouetted with their blog post I believe?

Just a quick question, do all these VR headsets use 3D?
ThatsMytrunks
Member
yes
flipswitch

Awesome. So 3D isn't dead after all.
Well, yea. Both the Rift and the Vive have a screen per eye that have slightly different angles to create a stereoscopic 3D effect. I'm sure someone else could go into better detail on how it works but, yes, they use 3D.
If they didn't, it would be like staring at a very large flat screen inches from your eyes.
It's just a remote for basic apps.

Won't the bright green color around the optics be a distraction? Surely black would be better...
Exactly.
They've got no counter to a proper VR controller.
People aren't going to wait around a year for Oculus to reveal their new VR controllers with CV2. Some might... but many will want and will get a proper full fledged VR experience through their competitors.
Well, Thursday at 10am Pacific we will see what all they have planned. It is very possible that the basic package doesn't come with a more gaming focused controller.
No because that's the area where the headset will pressing against your face. You simply won't see that.

Wait til Thursday for the Oculus press conference. They are going to show their input solution.
It's nice to know that most of the VR headsets are going to have a passthrough out of the gate. It's very necessary, especially for mainstream devices to stand a chance.

What's the use of the camera?
Dreamwriter

Or, it's a full 3D controller that can communicate its position and orientation in space with the Rift while including an integrated Steam Controller-like touchpad. We know literally nothing about it except what's in that picture, except it *might* be called the "Simple Input Device". We'll know everything in around 39 hours!

If they don't have hand tracking w/ gloves and haptic feedback, then it's negative points for Oculus. If they don't have full room tracking...it's ALSO another negative point.
If they don't have both...i don't see myself getting Oculus Rift. I am favoring Vive.

Vive doesn't have hand tracking with gloves and haptic feedback. Why do you want gloves anyways? And do you actually have a full room you can dedicate for VR? I wish I did.
Theonik

Hand-tracking probably.
same as it's been since the beginning: video passthrough.
I think he was alluding to Palmer Luckey hinting (might be an overblown toying) about a powerglove solution on his twitter a few days back. No need to rise expectations if they are not delivering on that.
