As much as I'd like to see that rear end in a top hat fired, if Oculus loses business as a result of not firing him, that is also good.

Well now I'm just confused: http://blog.vive.com/us/2016/09/your-journey-begins-at-viveport/quote:As part of this release, we are introducing Viveport Premieres–titles launching first on Viveport. These titles include Everest VR, Google Spotlight Stories’ Pearl, Lifeliqe, Stonehenge VR, The Music Room, an all-new edition of theBlu and more. e: Also, can someone explain to me how buying exclusives for a store makes any economic sense when there is no vendor lock-in?

I mean, if I wanted to buy a game that was a Viveport Premiere, I would buy that and then immediately go back to Steam. I imagine most gamers would do the same, so I don't see how this scheme makes HTC money.

Yes, but presumably HTC would have paid the developers a boatload of money to not release on Steam.

Cojawfee posted:It gets orientation from the IMUs. This is really accurate and fast but it drifts. I think it was Dan in the GiantBomb stream that was playing some kind of funhouse game with guns. The one gun kept drifting to the left because there was nothing to correct IMU drift. Technically the Move does use a combination of accelerometer and magnetometer to correct gyroscope drift. This is enough to determine the 3 axes of rotation, but it's prone to interference and not particularly accurate.

Actually, now that I think about that "hands blocking the camera" thing... With just the Playstation Camera directly in front of you, it means you could easily mess up the tracking just by putting your hands in front of your face. That's going to be incredibly limiting.

w00tazn posted:If you want to test the IMU then just turn the camera around or cover it and try to use the Rift. You'd be surprised at how good it is and how well it tracks with no correction. Hopefully the same applies to the touch controllers. Nope, IMUs are quite good at angular tracking but they can't do unassisted positional tracking at all.

There is no secret super-IMU with accurate positional tracking in the Rift. Even the heavy duty INS units the military uses have drift on the order of a foot per second.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:70 FPS is not a deal breaker. Honestly, 30 FPS isn't a deal breaker. What is a deal breaker for VR is a fluctuating framerate and while I don't understand the term at all, frame pacing is also important(?). So long as there is consistency it should be more or less fine. Personally I'd like to be able to cap certain performance intensive games to 60 rather than 90, since (to me at least) static 60 and static 90 are indistinguishable, but jolts from 90 to 70 definitely are even though I never drop below 60. SteamVR by default only renders at 90 or 45 FPS, so I don't know what you're talking about. There is also an option to force 45 FPS. It's when a game starts missing frames at 45 FPS that things really go to poo poo.

Do you have an Nvidia GPU? If so, install the SteamVR beta and turn on asynchronous reprojection. This will improve your DCS experience immensely.

OK people, this is the correct way to wall mount the lighthouses. 1. Throw the included drywall anchors in the trash 2. Buy a pack of these:  3. Screw them directly into the wall, they are self-drilling 4. Profit

Ciaphas posted:I know I'm seriously overthinking it but boredom at work does this to a guy. Anyone have a guide or link to said for fitting a Vive on one's head, both as comfortably as possible and in a way that produces good focus? Bonus points for being able to wear glasses while doing so but I'm fairly close to giving up on that one. You're not overthinking it at all, using a good headset donning technique has increased my Vive wearing comfort greatly. Homeless snail has covered adjusting the straps, so I'll tell you my method for putting the thing on without smudging your glasses. 1. Pull the cord up through the loops a bit to create slack in the cord. 2. Firmly grasp the bottom of the strap and the cord going through it with one hand. 3. Pick up the headset with your other hand. 4. Lift the strap out of the way and push the headset straight onto your face from the front. 5. Pull the strap down firmly onto your head. e: Also, do the reverse of that when taking it off. BMan fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Dec 9, 2016 |

Stick100 posted:FYI you don't need to mount or place the lighthouses high. The main reason they suggest it is that it makes it less likely if someone else steps into the area they won't occlude (block) the line of sight between a lighthouse and the headset/controller. If it's just you in a play space you could even put the lighthouses on the ground. You also might need to use the sync cable because your body could block line of sight between the lighthouses.
