Meant to be Seen

I don't know what to say. You guys are mad geniuses.



Sadly Mon Calamari will only be able to enjoy the Rift with a healthy dose of self-deception.

Just needs better IPD adjustment

HAHA! These are all great. I'm really loving Krenzo's Dr. Palmer Frankenstein with quote and all.

Poor Mon Calamari.

OK now my two favorites are the Titanic and the Shining ones
Palmer Luckey behind the door in that pose is simply stunning

LOL,
I'd love to see TRON2.0 on Rift, but I doubt anyone will ever fix the drivers for that game... (or will they...)

Nice one Dycus!

I'd love to watch Tron: Legacy in 3D on the Rift!!

Once more unto the rift...

LOL!

Only 6 DOF? Those truly were the dark ages!

Ahahaha, so many awesome shopjobs And here I thought the thread had fallen asleep, nice!

silly me, it's 9 isn't it, i'll have to go back and edit it later when i get home, or is it more funny just to leave it as is?

There's no such thing as nine degrees of freedom! (in annoyed Tatl voice)

I have seen some sites claiming it will support 9DOF (even on this very board), and other saying 6DOF. I understand what 6DOF gives you, but i wasn't sure what 9DOF was, which is why i left that out of the pic. Is the 9DOF claim just an exaggeration by some overzealous folks?

They have three ways of measuring 3DOF, which they call 9DOF because everyone else does it too. They don't want Rift to sound inferior to other products.

All IMUs are only 3 DOF (pitch, yaw, roll). 6 and 9 DOF is the trend used to describe how many sensors are in the IMU. Adding a gyroscope gets you 6 DOF, and a magnetometer makes it 9 DOF.

The Rift isn't an IMU though, so we really can't call it 9DOF like IMU vendors dishonestly do. It is currently 3DOF, as far as we know, but we'd all like it to be the maximum 6DOF that reality allows for a single rigid body.

Following the trend, they even have 10 DOF sensors now! I've seen some now with barometric altimeters in them. Hell why don't we just throw a thermometer and a photodetector on there and we'll have an even 12 DOF!

I don't think the world is ready for the freedom a barometer brings.

The Rift uses an IMU for its tracking. I don't really understand how you can equate DOF with the Rift itself unless you're talking about its tracker.

This is just TOO awesome an idea to pass up. Great work so far!

I'm going to make some calls. Please keep up the good work.

I'm flattered my 'shop was chosen for the news page, but it was "mindless" who started the thread, not me!

EDIT: news article has been fixed
I intend to make a few more of these, they're just too fun. Also, I'm really impressed with some people's arty abilities - I was expecting more along the lines of "programmer art"

Guys, what's all this talk about DOF doing in this thread? We should get back to topic!!!

The credit was fixed in the story. Please remember to upload the to gallery in the special album created (detailed in the article linked above). You can use that as graphics source material for your forum posts as well.

Regards,
Neil

Do you also want us to upload videos to this album (I've already posted one to this thread), or just leave them hosted on YouTube?

p.s. Thanks for fixing the credit

Videos are best handled through YouTube. It's just the images that are important. It often happens that people use temporary image sites, and before you know it, you've got posts with missing pictures, etc. I just want to make sure the hard work stands the tests of time! It's also easier for people to refer to and judge.

No need to upload to the forum. Just upload to the gallery, and use that as your image source in the forum.

Regards,
Neil

This is what I pictured in my mind during the Quakecon conference:

Hi Guys,

I think I solved an access problem with the gallery that was preventing uploads. Please give it a try to make sure it works!

Thanks in advance,
Neil

P.S. I wish this thread started earlier. It would have been great presentation material!!!

Haha thats seriously hilarious!

Nice one Omarzuqo!

Also love the TRON one, Dycus.

It seems they have so many futuristic technologies in Avatar, but...

EDIT:
I could do these all day...


EDIT:
Can we only enter one?

Luke attempts to fight a remote, skeptical of the (electrical) power he holds within his head mounted display.

This thread has me in a constant state of LOL. Thanks guys!

One more. I call this one, "Destiny".



Alternative titles, "The Oculus Rift in its infancy" or "Palmer Luckey is a replicant".

Obligatory last supper pic:

A simulated ad for the consumer Rift I imagine a much more professional version made, and it makes my mouth water... or is it too cheezy? Haha. Kind of makes me think of old graphics-card or 3D-application ads.
