Just thought about Silent Hills with VR compatibility......OMG! 😱

I could barely play the damn PT game as is, imagining that in VR, I'll have a heart attack.

I meant like for my Playstation elite headset or beats. It looks like it might get in the way.

Earbuds are better than nothing though.

The headphone band would go around the headset which isn't that big on the sides.

I would LOVE it if there was some way to implement something similar for most games and let me use my HD598s.

If I understand it right, the headphone doesn't really matter, it's the game that need to be made with 3d audio in mind.

Urgh, I know you're probably joking at this point, but just in case nobody has explained how timewarp works (or "reprojection" as Sony is calling it), it's not the same as frame interpolation on your TV.

On your TV, you have two frames and you figure out an approximated middle frame, kind of doubling your framerate and incurring a heavy latency hit.

On the Oculus/Morpheus, you have your finished frame and you have your depth buffer (which has values indicating how far away a pixel is), with both of those, you can calculate at what position a pixel is at in 3D space. You can then treat the pixels as you do any other object in 3D programming, and rerender the scene with new camera data.

This can be used for two things, lowering latency and increasing the effective framerate. Essentially, after you've rendered your scene, you wait until just before the render gets presented to your screen, then you grab the newest rotation data from the HMD and you re-render the scene with those adjustments (which lowers the latency between head movement and screen update). You can then do the same thing again 8.3 milliseconds later using the same rendered image, which kind of gives you a refresh rate of 120fps.

The drawbacks are:
- Positional movements of the camera are ignored (the parallaxing would cause artifacts).
- The only thing changing in your "free" frame is the camera orientation.
- If you make a huge head movement, it's possible for you to get a glimpse of outside the rendered field of view.

Luckily, due to how short a period 60fps is, the drawbacks generally won't be that noticeable.

Thanks for the explanation. I suspected that's basically how it worked, but I really had no idea. lol

Edit: This should go in the OP.

lol same, can't imagine.. don't want to. Reminds me of that guy trying an oculus's roller coaster sims... how he freaked out just looking down and someone pushing him a little. lol
I imagine.. i would be 10 times worse than this guy's reaction

Just caught up with the thread.

Was really shocked by the new specs. It all sounds really great and 2016 seems like a good time for release since I already have enough to buy this year The impressions from C4EMGEN were also very exciting. Can't wait for this to release. Here's hoping for an affordable price point and somehow PC support (although that seems unlikely :/)

I really hope that my two Move controllers still work in 2016...
I'm kinda worried that the batteries will be dead due to lack of usage...
