phant Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Zero Point Zero Point is the first 3D 360 degree movie created for the Oculus Rift on PC. In the film, we follow the pioneers of virtual reality; the researchers and developers creating an entirely new digital dimension. From combat training simulations at the Department of Defense, to research labs at Stanford, to indie game developers and hackers, this immersive video experience will bring viewers into the future of virtual reality. Watch in full screen. Bye Phant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasyl00 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Very interesting idea - hand tracking on the cheap. If the time latency was low enough I could see it used to track finger switching in DCS.

BHawthorne Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) I'm getting a major chuckle out of all the butt hurt. People really are willing to throw out their VR experience just because Facebook might subsidize it? The Rift was born in the hacker segment of the internet. Not like Facebook can force any tracking or content on people with the hacker segment of the population. They'll just use their own drivers with it. I welcome the insane boatloads of cash they have now. Anxious for July to be here already so I can start toying with DK2. Getting purchased by Facebook is not a betrayal of anyone in the community. It's the fulfillment of infinite amounts of cash to get it done right and produced in scale affordably.

Cowboy10uk Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I must be getting too excited. It's only March, and I've just dismantled my Quad screen setup and moved the computer room around, in preparation for the DK2 arriving in July hopefully. :) Figured I better get used to gaming on a single screen again for those games that don't support OR. Luckily most of my flight sims do, just keeping my fingers crossed that we get COD working with it. While I would prefer Facebook not to have bought OR, I'm still very very positive about what the future of VR will bring. Especially with such an amazing VR team working on one project.

bongodriver Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 it's going to be a while before Facebook actually begin to screw Oculus up, CV1 is going to be better than initially anticipated and when it does go tits up VR will be mainstream enough that there will be other options feeding off the new components brought to market.

Frusheen Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Bongodriver hit the nail on the head with that last comment. I'm looking forward to seeing what 1.2.8 brings. It will hopefully keep me happy until July and I think once I try DK2 I won't care about the big blue and white F logo on the front of it. :-p __________________________________________________Win 10 64bit | i7 7700k delid @ 5.1gHz | 32Gb 3466mhz TridentZ memory | Asus ROG Apex motherboard | Asus ROG Strix 1080Ti overclocked Komodosim Cyclic | C-tek anti torque pedals and collective | Warthog stick and throttle | Oculus Rift CV1 | KW-908 Jetseat | Buttkicker with Simshaker for Aviators RiftFlyer VR G-Seat project: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2733051#post2733051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongodriver Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 They actually have a company website, but reading the spec list it's clear they just cherry picked a list of features that appealed to the main concerns. time will tell but I am very sceptical on this one. http://www.trueplayergear.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a post a few weeks back stating(actually guessing) that Hawk was being delayed because they had to go back and add rift support,that post and all replies to it were deleted.

There must be special relationship between Oculus and ED since probably only handful of Devs had access to HD prototype.
