I am Brand new to this. (DIY HMD)
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2012 1:11 am
I would like to ask a seasoned veteran a number of things.
-Could you possibly write out a nice simple tutorial for me.
-This would consist of some nicely taken pictures and, in"lamen's terms" ( floabw ), what exact parts I would need to build and maintain a working HMD which can be used on a macbook pro.
-If this is not possible I would still like the concept of doing this or something that would work for someone with many consoles/ tvs/ computers of mac nature.I am easily described as broke most of the time so cheap as possible. I have this nice photograph of a cardboard cutout I did that is 4x2x2" Ill include it here.
-I have a preferred budget of about 200 dollars and I would like to be able to have at least a diagonal fov of 50 or 60 degrees. head tracking may be on a different bill haha oh and craigslist postings and ebay is friendly so if you know what I need send the link to me.
-Any integrating that I need to do would go nicely with the rest.
etc etc.
In retrospect. I have been toying around the site for a while but I haven't posted on anything because I just haven't found a simple step by step (with pics) tutorial on a DIY HMD which is, (what I think) what most people would like to see right now because were all itching for the oculus. well I definitely am anyway.
