You probably missed it since its in the Oculus forums and should really be in the general VR section.

People are catching on - slowly but surely. At least people are not posting every single thought in the main Rift thread anymore. Now if only people could start to branch outside the Oculus forum a bit... :lol:

Ahh, i completely missed that.
I looked though the VR General and R&D sections, didnt even think about looking in the Oculus section

I did think it was a bit odd that something that had been out for a few days and hadnt been posted.

Thanks for the link

Makes more sense to discuss it here anyway. Everyone is just a little Rift crazy, which is understandable, and I guess over there you don't need to make the clarification of 'with a Rift' and 'with a HMD'.


I'm curious as to if a left hand and right hand would interfere with each other. As much as individual hand tracking is admirable, having full tracking of both hands with no occlusion issues would be a really nice milestone.
