Re: GDC 2013 - News and impressions
Palmer has something up his sleeve that is going to blow us away. He was hesitant when asked what his current favorite game was on the Rift. I have a feeling the Rift is going to get an explosion of support from developers.MaxPalmer wrote:
That's a great video. Lots of leading questions that made me smile. Thanks for sharing the link.
Do you guys also notice from all the GDC videos and photos that the Oculus booth is really attracting the attention from the crowd. Seems like most booths are empty, but there is always a crowd around the Oculus booth. Such an exciting time for Virtual Reality.
Cheers to Oculus VR!

Re: GDC 2013 - News and impressions
I got the same feeling. It really seems like developers are on the Oculus wagon so to speak. The future is very bright for VR.
Did you see the line for trying the Rift? It was literally more than 100 people waiting to try it out. That must truly capture the attention of other developers attending GDC. I'll bet we end up having so much support for the Rift it will be hard to choose a favorite game.
Palmer revealed that the military is very interested in the Rift. I'll bet they already has a lot of funding from there. That it the perfect way to finance our VR experience![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

I seriously hope they will release consumer version of OR as soon as possible (the end of 2013 or early 2014 would be great).

Re: GDC 2013 - News and impressions
I'm looking forward this the most. My father-in-law was "blown away" when I demoed him my DIY FOV2GO style HMD using my measly little iphone screen. It was awesome seeing how excited he was just by that little demo. I plan on filming all of my demos when I get my Rift Dev Kit and making a montage of all of their reactions!!brantlew wrote:
Giving demos to the general public is really fun because the reaction is near universal awe - especially from the the completely unprepared. I think after all the repetitious press demos it's probably a breath of fresh air to go do the public ones. I've dragged damn-near perfect strangers into the Rift just to get that reaction - often with the only preparation being "close your eyes...now open them". All of you guys are going to be grinning like Nate when you show off your new toy to your wife/girlfriend/dad/friends/etc...

Re: GDC 2013 - News and impressions
That's a good idea. I might have to film the reactions from family and friends when my Rift kit arrives too.
Strange really - A few years ago, we were hoping to get close to this sort of reaction...
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQeHPnMCKWY[/youtube]
And now we're finally there, but at a fraction of the cost, no giant screens, and fluffy slippers not mandatory!
This is my favourite reaction vid to the Rift so far (Anthony is a funny guy. "Like you're f*cking Morpheus." lol)...

Consumer version can't be released without a bunch of VR ready games on the market. Since devs kits will be available in a few days, don't expect to see Oculus in store before around 18 or 24 months.Paintbrush wrote:I seriously hope they will release consumer version of OR as soon as possible (the end of 2013 or early 2014 would be great).

VR is simply the only logical next step in computer evolution.
Honestly, the only thing that's stopping me from buying dev OR right now, is that I'd have to wait for it till July (or more) anyway

Re: GDC 2013 - News and impressions
If you think you might not resist forever, then order soon - who knows, by october the ETA might be sometime 2014! Orders are bound to rise - look at GDC, people try it, tell people "you have to try it", suddenly there are people waiting for hours. the same is likely to happen with preorders.Paintbrush wrote:I think there's no stopping for VR anymore.

Right now they just have 10k orders stacked. Soon they will be able to produce more units than new orders.

Re: GDC 2013 - News and impressions
Valve is a smart company, they've got plans. How I read the current situation with them is that they are carefully picking the tech apart and very likely developing their own solutions.MrGreen wrote:So... Those VR-deams-crushing talks by Valve yesterday? Anything came out of this?
That would explain why they are so hung up on current hardware limitations rather than looking at what's viable with software right now. Of course, everyone who develops wants the "perfect" VR experience but a larger majority are willing to accept the flaws and limitations to get a taste of where things are going right now.
Thankfully Oculus is being the disruptive force here and getting ahead of the normally super secretive and long-winded backroom development process.

Ha! Loved that Palmer mentioned Chrono Trigger.
I was reading an article the other day about how much money Square-Enix was losing. The first thing I thought of is how bad they need to make a Chrono Trigger 3.
...but then I realized they'd probably ruin the franchise like they have with Final Fantasy.

No question. I was actually hoping for some announcements this week. I kind of expected Bioshock Infinite support. Palmer mentioned many times that they're leaving software announcements to the developers/publishers. So, we'll just have to wait and see.Moggle69 wrote:Palmer has something up his sleeve that is going to blow us away. He was hesitant when asked what his current favorite game was on the Rift.

Re: GDC 2013 - News and impressions
I just want to follow up on this now that everything is nailed down with the SDK release. I know there has been some hand-wringing and theorizing about reported yaw drift in Hawken and I want to clarify that. Magnetometer fused drift correction did not quite make it into this release, so no drift correction was being demonstrated at GDC, but I can tell you that generally magnetometer fusion does a very good job of stabilizing yaw. It's currently listed as an Upcoming Feature of the SDK and is a high priority. If you have more questions about it you should head over to the Oculus Dev Center.brantlew wrote:Just a short comment to say that sensor fusion is incorporated into the SDK and is not something that we are asking developers to solve.

That's probably pretty aggravating. Your boss asks you to work on VR and you come back and say "Well, it's gonna be a mess until we resolve X, Y and Z." And then some punk 19 year old comes up with something that doesn't resolve those issues but is totally fun and workable.Bishop51 wrote:Valve is a smart company, they've got plans.

Well that is to say back in January I took a best guess at the release date of the consumer version to be earliest mid 2014 and thats simply too long to wait. I'll happily burn $300 to experience the birth of consumer VR with the dev kit and all the early content.

Actually, that's very disappointing news. I expected that they had already implemented sensor fusion. But it's good that they are working on it.

Bishop,
One thing I noticed in the Hydra Gallery demo was how dead hands look. Any thoughts on dealing with that? Maybe triggers could close the hand? Also an idle animation?
