are you ready /g/
what are the alternatives? I don't support zuckerjew
It'd be good to know what the price of the thing is, finally.
And to see preorder statistics, because that's going to set the stage for VR over the next decade.
If they ship a million+ units, we VR now I guess.
>>52231504

>>52231504
This shit will NEVER EVER be profitable, it's the fucking definition of memetech. They'll sell a few thousand units at the beginning, people will realize it's about as functional as the Ouya, then it will slowly fade into obscurity like so many retarded, barely useful or interesting ideas before it.
Shill all you fucking want, this piece of shit will never turn a profit.
>>52231961
htc = good steam support
Is it going to be 399 US dollars?
>>52231504
It's a very interesting way to interact with games, but the problem is that it doesn't actually allow you to interact very well yet.
It's very immersive, but the controllers will be what separate the new VR tech from pic related.
>>52232013
You are same people who said smartphones were a fad and saw no reason why cell phones would reach 700+ dollars for way less battery life and no real apps to speak of yet.
What will make VR successful?
Cross platform compatibility will certainly help. If all the cool shit is on one platform the other will fail. If it's split then it causes confusion in the marketplace. That is not to say they won't still be successful (witness PC vs X Box One vs PS4).
Porn! It sold most other tech innovations.
Gaming (well duuh!)
Augmented reality (only if it's actually useful).
Movies and events (being in the best seat at the superbowl for instance).
>>52232126
If you think the Cockulus Shit is in any way comparable to a fully-functional smart phone you're retarded. It's a peripheral, a better comparison would be the "smart watch" bullshit that (unsurprisingly) fucking flopped like clubbed seal. Hype doesn't define a good product, functionality and practicality does, and Zuckervision has neither.
wait wait wait, i thought it was meant to be used as a display on pc, why are you faggot talking about smertfune

>>52232275
>mai loli waifu!
>>52232275
I think hobbyists will buy more of these things than gaymers will. Multiplayer is the gaming moneymaker right now and that's one field that the Oculus just can't break into. It's a gimmick.

How does this shit work for people that are short sighted and wear spectacles?

that's a pretty good idea. avatar seemed to be the only promising 3d movie in history. an avatar 2 would blow everyones mind
>>52232645
you can wear glasses and contactlenses with them or they might have an option later on for dioptrie customised lenses
>>52232476
>>52232659
Avatar 2 through like 4 are already in development, even though everyone has more or less forgotten the first one.
>>52232645
Half of the dev team wears glasses.
You use different lenses in the device.
>>52232679
perfect. i still remember parts of it. there's this one disabled soldier which found a new purpose and this was to infiltrate this new found species and find wounding points to take over them or the whole planet maybe (evil humanity) and then the soldier got in love with how cool everything was if nature is your ally and defend it against a mech-fighter machine in the last part

Pretty excited, though.
Facebook is going to pricegouge the fuck out of these retards out of nowhere after building up so much hope
It's going to be beautiful
>>52232816
It's probably gonna take a while until you get those. One thing I seem to hear from pretty much everyone making VR movies is "we have no idea what the fuck we are doing".
>>52232835

Relatively speaking, I take it?

I'm probably just going to spend the money I set aside for VR on a quadrotor instead. This shit is turning out to be gay and stupid by comparison.

>>52231824
They'll break a million. That doesn't prove VR will catch on. Look at how many Kinects and Wiis were sold. But motion controls are still just a gimmick.
It might catch on. It might not. Just sales is not enough to be certain.
>>52232944
I think this isn't the original purpose
Interested in possibly getting one, but how does it interact with your computer's hardware as far as games are concerned?
why does everybody freaks out about VR when augmented reality is way more useful?
>>52233195
what do you mean? games have to be made specifically for VR, you can't just plug and play any game
>>52233213
Because virtual reality is actually happening.
>>52233213
because it's still way too early for AR to be good
>>52233146
>has /g/ ever been right about anything?
Kind of. Tablets SHOULD NOT have caught on. /g/ does not understand the market whatsoever, but they were correct that tablets are a useless meme device.
Hell, even smartphones are more popular than they should be. They are still vastly inferior to real computers.
>>52233090
Why not Wifi reaches 300+ mbits already easily
>>52232944
You will never experience this on Cuckulus Rift.
>>52233107
Yeah, but now that you can't see your main input devices you're basically a potato.
>>52233213
Because Magic Leap isn't out yet.
>>52233223
I understand, but what I'm asking is basically, does it require a really high end pc to use? I ask because from what I can tell, it's having to render the same thing twice at the same time, which adds on extra stain on lower end hardware.
>>52233146
It's just the normies that bought this shit without thinking. Now they're collectively collectiong dust in a drawer.
>>52233261
No, not really, that's retarded. Do you look at your controller when playing games? How does that work, you suddenly forget where the left stick is or how to find the right shoulder button?
Even with mouse/kb, do you forget how to left click and have to look at the mouse to reposition your hand or some shit?
>>52233255
>They are still vastly inferior to real computers.
What kind of a retarded argument is that? That's like saying cars shouldn't have caught on because their engines are orders of magnitude less powerful than those of oil tankers.
>>52233176
Why are motion controls a gimmick? For example targeting in fps wii games with the nunchuck is much better and more accurate than using analog sticks. Are you sure you know what a gimmick is?
>>52233275
the recommended specs are on the website. It also has to render at a higher res than the actual screen because of lens distortion
>>52233090
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70pusNNunMA
>>52233275
>does it require a really high end pc to use?
For the full Rift experience, we recommend the following system:
Video Card NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD 290 equivalent or greater
CPU Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater
Memory 8GB+ RAM
Video Output Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output
USB Ports 3x USB 3.0 ports plus 1x USB 2.0 port
OS Windows 7 SP1 64 bit or newer
>>52233302
All the fucking time
>>52233304
But its true, stop bying cars, buy oil tankers!
>>52233302
That's why I'm saying that the new controllers will be what make VR worthwhile to play games with as opposed to just watch movies.
>>52233146
People are dropping tablets and moving towards this decades version of netbooks.
>>52233311
The real reason that motion controls aren't a gimmick is because practically everyone who wears a good VR headset for the first time will at some point reach for a virtual object and then realize he can't see his hand.
>>52233358
first they removed the keyboards, now they're putting them back on. Can't they decide what they want?
>>52231504
>Any VR devices
VR is trend that died in 2015, appears that mainstream interest has actually been declining(i dont remember posts about Morpheus or the other devices); some people still caring because the want a real holodeck or nergear, when that devices are of fictional tv shows.

Most people aren't using them like "real computers" though. Most people that use tablets use them for mostly passive activities like reading and watching video and if you haven't noticed there is a fuck lot of video and text content online.

>>52232330
flight sim players will be the strongest party, mark my words.
>>52233176
i totally agree that motion control was a gimmick when all you could control with it was a character on a tv
and it's still not there yet, but with VR there is really no other way that feels truly immersive
it'll get there, at least that's what I believe
>>52232476
Uhh, James Cameron literally called VR boring tech. He probably feels threatened by it. The 3D in VR actually doesn't feel like a gimmick.
http://www.cinemablend.com/new/James-Cameron-Hilariously-Insults-Virtual-Reality-Oculus-Rift-Technology-67959.html
>>52234115
>feels truly immersive
You'll never feel truly immersed when you cant see below your nose or above your nose or smell anything or feel impacts other than rumble. Good try tho
>>52233311
Motion controls for rail shooters like time crisis work great and are faster and more accurate than wothout, but I can tell you, if you try to use them in an actual shooter like what kill zone 3 or DUST 514 did without some sort or targeting assistance, you're going to have a bad time.
Aim assist needs to be so strong it makes using game pads feel like you're a 9 year quake tournament winner
>>52234148
He's right and also he's not threatened by it. Goggle tech will never threaten the cinema
>>52234361
There will be a lot fewer "actual shooters" in VR than you think.
>>52234361
>if you try to use them in an actual shooter like what kill zone 3 or DUST 514 did without some sort or targeting assistance, you're going to have a bad time.
playstation move with killzone 3 and resistance 3 is a much more natural and fun way to play. There are multiple types of aim assist built in to the games that you can choose from
>>52231504
No, I'll get one after their motion controllers are available
VR gaming without motion controllers is a gimmick
>>52234376
>Goggle tech will never threaten the cinema
Never is a strong word. Eventually we'll get microOLEDs with dense enough pixel densities to simulate a cinema experience with light field lenses which are the size of glasses, not goggles.
Also it might not threaten cinema as a whole but is sure as hell will threaten the type of cinema Cameron makes which are more like rides than movies. VR just does that better.
>>52234357
well you gotta appreciate the small steps too
add some kind of haptic response suit/device and bigger and better displays and we're almost there
for my taste it's still a bit too basic and crude, but that wont stop me from buying an oculus or a hive just to mess around with it and have some fun... we'll see what the first consumer reviews say
>>52234394
True. Where VR really shines is vehicular gameplay.
It's the fact that Ace Combat 7 will support it, and EVE Valkyrie is being built around it that I'm buying into the fad. RIGS looks pretty cool and I saw some mech games that looked interesting as well.
>"You must login to Facebook to continue"
>everything you do on Oculus gets auto-published on Facebook
Normies will find this perfectly acceptable but I don't.
>>52234405
I tried playing resistance with the PlayStation gun for the move, and it was terrible. The lack of precision and input lag made it much too frustrating and ended up just playing with the controller. The technology is nowhere near making motion controls more enjoyable than the alternatives, unless you consider aim assist playing the game for you enjoyable.
What's the reason for buying this over the vive? Vive seems so much better.
>>52234440
nobody cares about this shit except hardcore gamers and porn enthusiasts. It will never hit mainstream.
>>52234554
>The lack of precision and input lag
Neither of those are an issue with the kind of motion controls we're talking about here.
Jan 6
that's CES right?
other companies will probably showcase their own products to try to put off oculus' orders. Vive is due for april, correct?
>>52232013
just because of porn field its gonna be successful. unless zuckerberg somehow gonna try to fight it.
>>52234583
It's been a while but all I remember is turning valves in killzone and trying to shoot in resistance. What are you referring to? Is enthusiastic about it to start but in practice it was a disappointment.
>>52234588
Vive is Q2, so April is the optimistic estimate.

I'm talking about stuff like Oculus' Toybox demo or anything anyone has ever done with the HTC Vive.
Since they already need to track the headset with high precision and extremely low latency, it's not that big a deal to track their controllers with the same system. There's a video of a guy juggling the Vive's controllers while wearing the headset.

>>52234476
>True. Where VR really shines is vehicular gameplay.
I agree, it seems also that horror works really well in vr since a lot of the fear factor comes from the level of immersion. Additionally, horror games tend not to need as pinpoint accurate controls.

that article title is pure clickbait, what he's saying is totally reasonable
Still, he does underplay the importance of audiovisual immersion, and we're a damn long way from going much further than what he's looking for.
Hell, films like Avatar would probably be a pretty damn good fit for a VR experience, or at least would allow people to get the big-screen 3D at home experience that you'd really need to enjoy it (Avatar is a good 10x better in 3D in the theater than in 2D, it's a really mediocre if not terrible movie when you're watching it at home on your TV, but it's a satisfying ride when you see the very impressive 3D work).

>will be crap to use with laptops
Why do people assume that laptops can do everything? And I haven't seen a laptop newer than 5 years old that does not have HDMI or DP.

The fuck? Even when jewbook is behind this, motherfucking Carmack is behind the tech of that, I bet you won't get a better experience without a man that good on board.
>>52233259
>Implying you can lock hardware running on PC
>>52235648
you don't get to watch shows in 1080p nigger, if you want to watch shows the virtual screen will only be like 480p at best.
there's no point buying this if all you want to do is watch flicks
>>52235668
Carmack actually only joined to work on mobile VR, he spends most of his time working on the GearVR
>>52235733
There is no way his influence on whatever he is working wont affect main oculuss development, he will try it and complain if it isn't good enough until they fix their shit.
>>52235733
I tried the gear vr for about 15 min over the holidays since a family member had bought it. Its shit. Real shit. Carmack knows nothing.
>>52235847
The Problem with the gear is its head tracking...no motion sensors = problem
You can make a sensor out of a kinect or just use the one they give you....
It supposedly is way better than the gear...
>>52233191
Quite honestly, I think that it is, at least in part.
Carmack isn't a retard, he knows that porn - in all shapes, forms and dimensions - is a big industry that rolls metric fucktons of cash.
Why stop at video gaming when your product attracts a (presumably) much larger audience?
>>52231504

so..... what will it cost?
>>52234476
>Where VR really shines is vehicular gameplay
Absolutely, especially if you're using a gamepad.
I think there will be a large surge in flight combat games and games revolving around movement in 3D space rather than simply walking around on the ground all the time.
Making FPS games in VR is certainally possible and there might some good titles but it's just not suited for the technology much in the same that platforming isn't suited for 3D which is why it's rarely done.
>>52235907
It has better optics and screen utilization. Everyone that has tried GearVR and CV1 says CV1 is way better. Better FoV, less to no screendoor, and sharper.
>>52233176
Kinect is and always was shit from the beginning, the Wii motion controls were cool back in the day but people started to notice they were also shit and you didn't even have to get up to win against people in tennis or just dance.
>>52235935
>it's just not suited for the technology much in the same that platforming isn't suited for 3D which is why it's rarely done.
>implying
>>52235907
>>52235953
This guy is right...the screen while yes is lower in pixel count it uses distance, angle and glass material to meld in way better... An illiusion like that guy in the Matrix said..."BUT IT WAS REAL TO ME!"
>>52235914
Wait 41 hours and you'll have your answer.
>>52231504
what is the breakthrough that HTC VIVE hyped about?
>>52235984
The kinect for xbox one was never fully tapped into...You have a full thousand nodes of contact with a body... It is literally a case of bad localisation of noding
>>52235953
M8 I doubt optics can increase the pixel density without shrinking the size of the screen
perhaps google glass really is that shit. I'll have to try it out for myself but I'm a doubter
>>52236025
the breakthrough is that, oh wait, it's being pushed by an actual gaming company and not facebook
>>52236025
the "breakthrough" is "we fucked up somewhere and had to start over"
>>52236042
>M8 I doubt optics can increase the pixel density
Of course not, where the hell did you even get that idea from? Do you know how this even works?
The better optics and screen utilization can account for a sharper image and less screen door. It doesn't change the screen. Go ahead and look at what people that have tried both have said. I've even tried Crescent Bay myself against the S6 GearVR.
so should I buy this or wait for the HTC Vive?
>>52231504
Hell yeah, oh wait it's the Oculus not Vive.
I'll pass
>>52236116
Alright...we will take your word for it...
The nice thing is we can use this to watch movies in a massive cinema together on a server ... if it works
We better start making some marketing noise...I wan't a future with VR damnit!

Don't take mine, take the word of the collective that has tried them.
Also VR cinema is pretty shit, pixel density makes it so it's basically watching sub-HD resolution. I guess for the people where YIFY rips are fine it's alright. Beyond that it's a gimmick.
>>52236116
let me make this clear
I've used google cardboard on my phone with a 5.2" 1440p display. the screen door effect was noticeable and honestly I couldn't imagine watching a movie or game on it beyond the gimmick solely due to the screen door shit
I REALLY doubt that optics can make a less quality screen look better than the one I already have
>>52232013
You're not accounting for 3d porn, nigga.

He's busy busy busy auditing mobile games and posting reviews of them on jewbook.
This is the guy who's released netcode for quake and so on, giving a lot to the community. Then he ends up working for cucks who are building a walled garden if I ever saw one.
Sadly, because I had huge respect for him.
Fuck no, valvs VIVE is far better in everything: resolution/tracking/support/etc. Fuck ocufacebook.

>>52236201
>I REALLY doubt that optics
Well change that doubt because optics are key. You're also missing the fact it has far better screen utilization than with cell phone screens. I forget the exact numbers but iirc something like 40% is lost due to the optics on DK2.
>>52235703
it's not 480p at best, the image looks still accurate as you're watching it from 2 meters away. anti aliasing makes it possible.
you can even downscale the video to get better results in a vr theatre
>>52236302
I forgot about the anti aliasing...
Well looks like I will see you gents in VR

Not really. I mean you can, but definitely not at any sort of decent video quality. These things still use a regular screen, y'know, with pixels on it. Their resolution definitely won't be high enough to display both a cinema and have enough resolution left over for decent video quality on the virtual projection screen. In terms of quality, you'd be much, MUCH better off watching the movie on your typical 1080p display.

If you use it in bed you wont be able to turn around or use motion controls, negating VR in two places as well as giving you pitiful resolution. Even my ipad 2 would be better
>>52231504
yes
>>52236683
double yes
>>52236572
that the resolution of VR cinema movies are/will be terrible
>>52236742
Wait. Is this something as dumb as faking watching a movie in a theater instead of just watching it in "static" 3D.
Who's the idiot that came up with that?
Buy the real version of VR, not the cuckbookerberg version

>>52236599
you'd actually be surprised of how clean watching television in the DK2 looks like.. it almost eliminates the screendor barrier because the pixels comfort you looking on a screen rather than reality
hearing the cv1 eliminates screendoor effects, watching a movie could be a really pleasurable experience now.
i own a DK1 with RiftUp 1920x1080p display so i know what i'm talking about
>>52236949
Because I want to support the entire VR industry.
>>52236572
The VR headset displays an image 1440 lines tall. With all the epic cinema around the actual movie, there are only 400 lines available to display the actual movie. I'm sure you can tell that there are a lot less lines of movie than on an actual 1080p display.
tl;dr: The movie is going to look like shit because the resolution of the 3D headsets is too low for it to display both movie and cinema around the movie.
>>52236794
Is there any porn on it? Vive dev kits have been out for a while.
>>52236976
So are you planning on getting OSVR, PSVR, Claire, FOVE, and StarVR too?

I am getting the bloody device
You can simply install higher res screens!?
Damn Indiegogo was fast on the trigger...
Coupled with the new optics
this is TOP LVL STUFF
>>52236975
you know what else is shit? picking the last row in a cinema
>>52233311
>Why are motion controls a gimmick?
Because there's no physical feedback.
I'm personally still interested in VR headsets purely as 3D monitors but I'll avoid motion controls like the plague.

Are you telling me there's a hardware-lock for VR shit?

Those shitty headphones are removable right?
Either way ill be picking up the Vive instead. I wont let Dinkleburg jew me this time
>>52236260
>walled garden
Except facebook released a lot of source codes and actually does a lot for open software. Do you guys just buy into the evil jewbook meme without checking your facts?
>>52236975
Screen door shouldn't even be much of an issue on CV.
There's no way around it though, you don't have the resolution to properly display video on these headsets in a virtual cinema. You can like it, that's fine, but you'll get better quality watching on a proper monitor or probably watching 3D movies that are meant to be viewed on one of these things (in "full screen" with no cinema).
Also, resolution is one thing, it doesn't even get into other issues such as proper frame timing. How are you going to display a 23.976FPS video properly on a 90Hz display? There's going to be judder, much like watching 24FPS video on a 60Hz screen. This is exactly why TVs specifically support 1080p24, so you can properly display video at one of the most commonly occurring frame rates.
Don't get me wrong though, people watch horrible-looking crap all the time and gush about how amazing it is, I can totally see lots of people enjoying this sort of "VR cinema" despite the actual movie on display being butchered, I'm almost certain it won't be the thing for me however.

>>52237045
in vr it's not much about the resolution anymore.
you just perceive it as a fluid and detailed picture just like in real life from a certain distance
you have to see it to understand it
>>52237139
yes they are removable
but let me tell you, your current headphones will probably disrupt the experience as they as probably bulky as fuck
>>52237100
Porn devs don't have access to Vive devkits, at least for now.
Whereas companies like KISS already implemented Oculus support in their latest games.
>>52236917
As someone who has seen this, Dennou Coil is a better descriptor of Magic Leap than you might think. Cool things are happening, and sooner than almost anyone expects.
>>52237081
Not what I mean.
Imagine you're swinging a sword in a video game and it's blocked by a shield. What happens? Either the sword bounces/glances off the shield and is out of sync with your hand, or it just passes through the shield.
Without some kind of system, that would likely be huge and expensive, to give the player physical feedback, motion controls are a gimmick.
>>52232850
And that's a beautiful part of this whole thing.
It's a new medium. A new way of figuring out how to tell a story. When was the last time we had an actual paradigm shift in how a story could be told? We're talking about a literal breakdown of the fourth wall.
>>52232205
Augmentee reality, make that virtual reality,
AR is real life extensions (eg MS hololens), while VR is well fake virtual source
>>52237508
http://youtu.be/Y-P1zZAcPuw
This will make a solid node wall of sound midair and the latest versions can make it feel almost like a block of cement. Your shield will bounce your sword if you use this tech right...
>>52237422
No bulkier than the headsets themselves. Besides, the best genres for this will be space-sims, racing-sims, etc where your in-game avatar is usually wearing a bulky helmet anyway.
In my opinion high quality audio is going to be just as important to VR as the visuals and I don't want to use the shitty headphones it comes with.
That's why I'm leaning away form the Vive, it's current design won't be compatible with non-vive headphones without serious modifications.
Sometimes it feels good to be a poor fag because at least you know that you won't fall for some expensive memes.
>>52237508
Did you watch the video in the first link on Google? It can simulate that. You can set it to react hard enough that it will jerk your hand back I imagine. When my Novint Falcon worked it could do exactly that. You could actually feel objects with it.
Also there's places like The Void that will use real environments.
http://www.kitguru.net/components/vr/jon-martindale/consumer-oculus-rift-will-have-built-in-dac-and-headphone-amp/
>>52237603
i'm not sure if your hi-fi equipment is calibrated for their vr low latency stuff which probably works best with their inbuilt DAC though..
not only that, it is always a hassle to remove the headphones and then the rift. you will experience it your own when you have it.. it simply sucks and i'm sure the compromise on audio quality isn't too sacrificial
>>52237586
>This will make a solid node wall of sound midair and the latest versions can make it feel almost like a block of cement. Your shield will bounce your sword if you use this tech right.
Ok,
1. Show me this technology working with that much force.
2. It would have to be significantly larger to provide physical feedback across the reach of your arms.
3. I imagine that would be expensive as hell.
So it would be huge and expensive.
>>52237655
and also to mention, people which tried the CV1 never complained about the sound quality of those things. i can predict them to have better soundquality than Koss Porta Pro
>>52232013
you've just never used it
it's entire new fucking level of immersion for every game that features sitting in seat - racing games, space sims (sweet jesus elite:dangerous looks incredible in this shit), and even shooters are getting new "depth" (leaning in hl2).
Try it one day - rent it or whatever, you'll understand that it's future of video games. I was sprouting same kind of bullshit as you do now, then i rented it and now i understand just how great it is.
>>52237603
>it's current design won't be compatible with non-vive headphones without serious modifications.
What are you talking about? Vive works fine with any headphones.
>>52237695
The masses are ignorant of audio quality, Beats are considered good, and most are using it in a noisy expo environment. That said, Palmer owns Stax and HD800s and he says the drivers they used are good, better than most shitty headsets that people have.
>>52237655
Show me the measurements. I have never in my life noticed audio latency playing a video game.
>>52237695
Oh great, Porta Pro's. The world's best disposable headphones.
>>52237821
maybe hrtf in oculus audio sdk will change this a bit
>>52237508
Are you baiting ? Lack of physical feeback on a display device similarl to a television doesn't mean that a gimmick is happening.

No it can't, otherwise it would be potentially dangerous and the kinky possibilities, oh the kinky possibilities.
>>52237883
Learn to read, shitface. I'm saying motion controls are still just a gimmick. I very much like the idea of VR headsets.
>>52237936
you dont even know what a gimmick is, especially something that controls the vision / hearing medium which defines television and its offshoots which may include "VR". Physical feedback isnt a requirement dude
