I'm not a programmer so am only looking at 'using' one to get a feel for just how good these things are/could/will be in the future.

So....as I can't really justify the outlay at this point, anyone got an Occulus V1 they want to part with cheaply 8)

When DK2 will have arrived, there'll be plenty of cheap DK1s on the market, I reckon.

Still hoping for a bit sooner for mine. At least I can fund this one through work 'SDK' will get past the accountant. Not sure I can do the same for the PS4 headset I'm now going to need too...

yeh I'm guessing it's due to me being late to the DK2 party. Maybe they'll surprise me. Who knows.

I just put my Rift on and zoomed into the screenshots til everything fits somehow - and it looks very nice. Love the particles (never doubted that there will be particles, though...) :)
The background grid - does it move?
Since it is quite near, any wobbling/moving grid could make for quite a nice effect, I reckon.

Ach, I'll will go for my hols in Italy this weekend - shit. Will totally miss the launch.

You can even try it f you don't have an oculus - just press P to go to non stereo graphic mode and use the mouse to simulate head turning.

Will check on another system later.

Like I said above I haven't got an Oculus.

I've just been playing this though and it is great. First I played it 'normal' then put the Nvidia 3d biz on (using an old red/blue pair of paper glasses) and it was even better.

Can only imagine what it must be like with a proper VR headset. :cry:
