Minecraft + Oculus Rift video

It's build primarily for games, but can be used for many more applications if built properly for the device. The focus right now is using it as a gaming device though.

Was going to say this topic might be a bit more popular on Gaming side.
I just spent the last few 8 minutes or so reading about this, wonder where the hell I can try one out.

3D MS Publisher would be great
maybe we need 3D to completely understand MS Words formatting clusterfucks

Sheeeiiiiitttt can you imagine a 3d internet? The avatars would be like real and right in my face. That would be some heavy shit man.
Some guy made 3D scans of a nude woman he had pose and then converted it to the OR format. So there's sort of porn available, I guess, if that's your thing.

I really want to try this. I feel like it's something you can't understand until you actually put it on and try it. I just don't get what it's supposed to do at all.

Having tried it at GDC, I must say... It's game changing.

Does turning your head turn your character or just the head of your character?

Can't wait for the consumer version!
Incidentally, I've got pretty good at watching these two-screen videos like they're those stereoscopic 3D pictures. Try crossing your eyes until you see three images and then focus on the centre image. It really looks 3D! And it gives you a little insight into the "feel" of VR that people who try this out are always going on about.

Just the head. In the hawken demo I played, it felt more natural since you were a person INSIDE of a huge mech.

I tried to stare at this for a long time like a Magic Eye thing to see if I could get the stereoscopic effect but all I got was a headache. It almost worked.

Game changer. I cannot wait for this. Hyped beyond compare.
I know it works, but it's so much work to do that. When you get the Rift it will be so much easier on your eyes

It'll be nice when Notch gets to work on an official port. Looks pretty hacked together (clipping on the body, not the smoothest movement) ... pretty cool that it's working in concept tho!
it´s Alpha and i think they play 0.15 or below
we are already at 0.19
Should be way better now and that only 2-3Days later

Holy shit this looks awesome...
If its not in first person it'll be useless for the Rift.
Have they discussed in depth issues with third person cameras?
Not that I know of. I just feel it would break the immersion if the camera was always locked on to a character or in its direction and you couldn't use the 360 view the Rift offers. Sure the 3D could look great but it would be the same as using 3D on a monitor now if you can't look around freely like you can with everything now.

Oh wow O__O
I don't care one iota about minecraft, but I actually got an idea of whats possible with this thing from that..good stuff..
take away the need for camera control on the interaction interface..the possibilities..
the worse case is its used mostly for FPS shooters and acquired by Activision -__-
I'd feel the same way a peace loving scientist would feel when the military weaponizes their discovery.

Minecraft + Oculus Rift is more exciting of a prospect than next gen ever could hope to be.
My body is ready.

Just remember that it's PC only at this point and the game has to support it...
