Any news on the refresh rate on the final model, I suspect anything above 5-10ms would be disorienting since it is your entire field of view.

Refresh rate is in Hz or frames, no? You seem to be talking about delay.

Very cool!

Super excited to get my hands on one of these.

I suspect people who suffer from motion sickness might have an issue.

How would this work on someone with glasses?

I could be totally off but I read some snippet somewhere that they might be able to adjust for your prescription (perhaps not all prescriptions) in software/hardware (not sure which, or maybe both), so you could play without glasses.

This may be what puts the steam box way ahead of anything Microsoft and Sony are willing to do, and shut them down almost completely outside of their exclusive titles.

Great for fps but i don't think it will replace mouse and keyboard for games like starcraft.

I started a thread a while ago about this and it almost immediately died... curious /shrug.

I ordered a dev kit many months ago, and am expecting mine to arrive in March/April. I've read virtually every video and piece of literature out there about the device, so if you have any questions shoot them my way and I virtually guarantee I'll be able to answer. Some common questions / misconceptions:

  • Isn't it uncomfortable to look at a screen so close to your face?!
    • No. The screen may be close to your face, but the optics you look through are focused at infinity. This means that, for your eyes, it will be as if you are looking at something very far away (it should actually be more comfortable to look at than a computer monitor is).

  • Glasses
    • Because the Rift's optics are focused at infinity, this means those who are short-sighted (have difficulty seeing distant objects) will not get a clear image while using the current developer version of the Rift.
    • The dev version does not have a "nice" way of supporting glasses. Three options are available to you:
      • Wear contact lenses
      • Get a cheap pair of glasses of your prescription, and glue them onto the Rift's lenses
      • Wear your glasses underneath. However, as your eyes are further away from the Rift's optics this comes at the cost of some FOV. There may also be a risk of scratching the Rift's lenses.

    • The Oculus team have stated several times that there WILL be a solution for the consumer version (Palmer Luckey, the creator, is short-sighted himself).

Well this seems sweet as fuck. Would be awesome to have it. Thing that appeals to me is that they care about people with vision problems.

They need to get this to work with Mirror's Edge... The fact that you can see your body in that game and that you do so many crazy stunts makes it seem like the perfect game for virtual reality imo.

Anyway, if I can manage to get a computer that can run the latest games.. at 60 fps... in 3d... (which may be easier said than done) by the time this comes out, I'll by this so fast.

Near sighted and short sighted might not have quite the same meaning..

In any case, I'm really exited about it. I just really hope it's not going to be a "fun little thing with a test map" and no games. If this takes off we could see a huge spike in the technology of these things in the future.

Only 110 fov?
Looks like I won't be playing quake or tribes on it any time soon, especially considering how the screen is closer to your face and thus requires an even larger fov than normal...

"Only" 110 FOV? Have you actually worked out your FOV when looking at your monitor or television?

I'm sitting a fairly standard distance away (70cm) from a 27" monitor, and I calculated my horizontal FOV to be only 46 degrees. The rift is over double that!

yeah, but if you don't count mass effect 3, most computer games have a much larger fov than that in the game itself (I think between 60 and 90?). Humans have about 120 degrees fov in focus and another 60 without depth perception if I remember correctly. Still, I think 110 is plenty for immersion.

And yet my fov is set to 120 degrees in quake and tribes.
I would not be able to play either game as effectively with a lower fov, I guarantee you that.

OMFG. Looks like this will be very good for everyones eyes.

Still, I don't need some fancy "bull shit" technical console to enjoy games. Especially in a time were most of the games get cut in depth, story etc. to get fancy graphics and what not. But this console strikes directly into that way. I don't like it.

That's pretty high, even for Quake. Rapha is the only pro I know with an FOV over 105, he uses 110. Everyone else uses 100 (some 103, some 90).

You realise that you're completely mixing up FOV? You can set your virtual FOV to whatever you want. There's no reason whatsoever you couldn't play quake or tribes on a rift with the game's FOV set to be astronomically high.

People are excited because (amongst other things) the Rift will has a huge physical fov.
