Because of the initial low pixel density it'd make sense to have a billboard sized screen, which would solve that issue. There's no reason that you'd need the stereo disparity for reading text. In practice, anything that&#x27

Yes it is a problem. Morpheus, Vive and CV1 provide a larger eyebox so you can wear eyeglasses. GearVR has diopter adjustments (something like -4 I think).

Most of the journalists w/ first person demos have given relatively poor descriptions, but Oliver Kreylos a UC Davis VR researcher recently published a very in-depth review of his experience w/ the Hololens hardware, including his

Current HMD lenses collimate the light so you focus on infinity which is isn't too stressful for your eyes. There's still strain from vergence-accommodation conflict, but I think light field displays will outpace the holographic w

Closer than you might think. At 4K, the arc density is about a 14" VGA screen, which was totally usable. At 8K you approach a 24" HD monitor. That's ignoring the additional resolution you get from high refresh rates. Here&#x2

I got tired of waiting for the Dell (and got a bit antsy about the BIOS and other issues) and went with a Lenovo X250 instead. It's fully customizable but takes about 2 weeks to ship. I've actually been traveling since I ordered i

The newest Gopros have a pretty decent API. Sadly, it's on an absolute crap wifi connection. While Canon's USB stack has its issues as well, it's still a heckuva lot more stable than any of the wifi-based cameras I've te

Having re-read Snow Crash last year, I'd have to say that while the books have a bit of overlap (the deleterious effects of post-industrialization is something of a theme from the earliest cyberpunk, it's almost a defining charact

Sadly, the Sputnik version of the XPS 13, the one I was more interested in, still has issues/hasn't come out yet. This 3rd-party article/thread seems to be a good place for tracking those developments: https://majo

Hmm, but none of the former managers or co-workers have managed to recommend positions or leads to you? In anycase, I suggest you pick a specialty, whether it's infosec or something else, and make sure you are participating in the prop

15 years in, formal eduction shouldn't be a big deal. Assuming you made a deep positive impact on successful projects, you should have a deep network or connections and referrals to tap? If not, you need to answer that question. Why ar

There really is a labor shortage in Japan and has been for a long time. Govt data shows as much as a 1.1:1 job:job seeker ratio. However, the parent poster is right in that a big part of the problem is that most of the jobs are crap (part-t

A single 4K2K RGBD sensor at a high enough refresh could generate something in the 100Gbps range. The device has at least 2 (possibly 4?) forward facing sensors. It's presumably also doing inward facing gaze tracking, audio and IMU. As

I'm not trying to be overly harsh or offensive here and I'm heading to a new year's party so I'm not going to write another wall of text, and I don't think any further replies are going to be particularly productive

You're getting pushback (and downvotes) because your posts have been needlessly broad and argumentative, and totally baseless/somewhat bewildering for anyone that's been paying much attention to what Oculus has been up to. Mo
