Young ignorant founder here. If a good email practice can be obtained by taking all those measures, but slack doesn't need the understanding, training, policies etc then surely slack is the better alternative. Just because it 'can

Haven't we gotten over the 'if X has failed then Y must fail too' argument yet? Technology progression doesn't always follow such simple rules. Eg. Since the Newton failed, the iPhone must fail too.

Because... Why? I sometimes spend 8 hours at a time in my Rift.

SteamVR doesn't support Linux yet AFAIK. Here are the min requirements: http://store.steampowered.com/app/323910/

Consumer Rift? It's worlds better than the DKs. My opinion is that the consumer headsets launching this year already offer too good of an experience for VR to 'fail' this time around. Virtual boy was a miserable experience fr

Not only is it supported but it has been confirmed that an extra camera will ship with the Touch controllers. Every time I have used Touch it has been with multiple cameras. At Oculus Connect 2 they had ~50 stations setup with multiple came

But that argument is true for the Rift cameras too. You can place Rift cameras in a similar setup to Lighthouses and achieve similar tracking volumes.

You could say the same with movie theatres vs TVs though right? Having tried experiences like The Void I'm confident these out of home experiences will be able to offer significantly more features to warrant leaving the house. Features

Having tried the CV1 multiple times I can say the headphones are surprisingly incredible. Every time I use them I'm impressed. I doubt I will ever use other headphones with the Rift.

For interest's sake, what's the latest VR HMD you've tried?

by haydenlee 11y ago
As far as platform support goes: - Oculus Home works with the Rift. - SteamVR works with the Rift and Vive. It gets a little trickier with which games support which types of controllers though.

No problem! As a VR developer I'm pretty bummed that Vive isn't including integrated headphones. It's such a pain to put on headphones and the headset at the same time.

The Vive's tracking does not magically get around the constraint of having to be within field of view of the tracking devices. The lighthouses also have FOV.

Context for people not following VR religiously: the Vive is $200 more than the Oculus Rift however it includes hand controllers and an extra tracking device. Both come bundled with 2 games if you pre-order. The Rift also has integrated hea

Before that... Smartphones. Did anybody actually like 3D TV?

The optics involved mean you aren't focusing 2 inches from your face, with the DK2 you're focusing at 1.3m and the DK1 was at infinity (not sure about CV1). So you could argue its better for eye strain.

They have already started their own studios called Oculus Studios and Oculus Story Studio. There will be at least 20 Oculus Studios games released this year.

Not sure if trolling but... The first Oculus dev kit shipped 50k in 2013. Cardboard wasn't announced until I/O 2014.

I've tried both (and own a Vive) and the Touch definitely has better ergonomics and is more analogous to having your hand in the world whereas the Vive 'wands' feel like you are holding a stick. It's not a clear cut deci

As opposed to a screen that you keep in your pocket that will be obsolete in a year or two? When you boil down a product to simple terms its really easy to make it sound pointless.

People have been waiting for this for years, if they had just opened the pre-orders without a pre-announcment there would have been (virtual) riots.

Minecraft, Rock Band VR and Eve Valkerie are coming to the Rift. I'd consider them all AAA games nowadays.

I've used the consumer Rift with and without Touch and it really just comes down to the specific applications. There are plenty of applications where it doesn't make sense to use hand controllers (like space sims or car racing gam
