OculusRift

Post by itch »

Did you know an OculusRift development kit is only $300?


I think I found my Christmas present to myself.

Wow thanks I just wasted time looking at pics of Nicholas Cage.

What are you talking about, looking at pictures of Nicolas Cage is never a waste a time.

yeah, I've been toying with the idea of picking one up, but I reckon I'll wait for the next revision with better resolution.

But what if the next version is more expensive and you can't get this version anymore?

if you have tried both versions you'd never consider getting the current dev kit.

I figure it's like a phone screen. I could never go back to a WVGA 4.3" screen after experiencing even qHD, or even 720p screens at the same size. I can't even look at my 720p tablet screen anymore after having the same amount of pixels on a phone screen...

Wouldn't the current version surely appear on ebay anyway, if you really did want to save that money?

I was put in the TF2 training room to try it out for the first time. I had to ask people what to do because even the training text was illegible.

Yep, spent 15 mins on the original, and a few mins with the HD prototype. Chalk & cheese

So you're saying that 720p looks better on a smaller screen?

Picking up an Oculus DK2 is pretty tempting. John Carmack is talking a lot about Android on Twitter though, so it sounds like he's working on Oculus being capable of operating as a standalone device. That'd be awesome if true - I'd get one just so I can watch movies in bed without disturbing the missus.

467.50 was the price to Australia I knew 350 was too good to be true. I'll give impressions when it arrives in late September bit of a waiting list unfortunately.
