Of course :D Got a little motion sick the first few minutes, but you get used to the experience pretty fast.

I also gave it another try yesterday. How about sharing some good applications for testing it? Here are my favorites:

  • Hawken: Free (to play), excellently ported and a very comfortable VR experience because it feels rather natural to sit in a mech cockpit while you control the mech with a gamepad.
  • Aaaaculus (Oculus Rift port of Aaaa for the Awesome): Sky diving in virtual reality is awesome.
  • Dumpy going elephants: Weird demo, but very fun.
Also, the Crystal Cove prototype of Oculus Rift is looking awesome. And rumor has it that Valve is toying around with an even better prototype. This is going to be so big.

I have only had the time to test some very basic demos like the Tuscany demo, and some small stuff I found on the developer portal like the VR Cinema and "Blocked In".
Today I've been working on porting the original OLN, which is looking pretty good so far. Though I gotta take a break now, you can only play around with it for so long before you start feeling a bit sick :P Luckily my motion sickness is very light and gradually getting lighter, but I don't want to push it.

Yeah, you can really get quite dizzy if you use it too long.

Proper calibration can help. The Oculus SDK includes a tool for calibration of the magnetometer and a tool to measure your eye distance. Both should help to reduce simulator sickness.

A fast computer and low graphics settings help to keep latency low.

Also, you should have a look at this official best practice guide if you are developing for the Rift.

Yea, calibrating was the first thing I did when I plugged it in :)
I just tried out some Rollercoaster rides and it was pretty awesome. You definitely get a feeling in the stomach.

Has anyone seen this engine? Pretty impressive considering the demo dates back to 2005.


and this one from 2000

There is nothing particularly impressive there, not even for 2005. Its just some in house engine used for no particularly well-known game.

I for one can't recall having seen any other 14 year old engine that looked like that.

On my mind was that I haven't been here in about roughly 8 years and it's nice seeing this community again.
