Just playing with my code

[myoung]

I have never touched an Oculus Rift. But I have tried to get my code ready for it anyway...

If anyone can give me any points that would be great.

Cool man! Is this going to turn into a game, or is it something you are just messing with?

[myoung]

Really just something I'm playing around with it at this stage. The virtual texture render runs at a super high frame rate. (over 120 fps on my 460 gtx). So I was thinking it would be a good fit for VR.

Just started playing with some head positioning stuff, but nothing to report yet.
Any one getting any data out of a duel shock 3 gyroscope ?

Neat looking!
I swapped the eyes on the YouTube video and was able to view it in 3D, crosseyed.. heh

Although, I think your 3D depth may be a bit off, at least in that video. It seems slightly weak, but sometimes it was hard to even notice a 3D effect at all.
I'm not sure if that's due to having the virtual-cameras/eyes too close together in-game, but that might be my guess. Have you tried increasing that a tiny bit?

It could just be because we have different eye separations tho, so it'd seem fine to you.

I just viewed it "wall-eyed" with default left-right view and the depth seemed fine. Maybe try viewing it on a smartphone and let your eyes relax til they've diverged and then converge the image. I think that viewing method automatically increases your IPD since your pupils are further away from each other.

That's a very good idea! Perfect way to test that theory too!

Only one problem.. I have a Nexus 7.. but I can't seem to get it to play YouTube videos with 3D properly, it just shows 1 eye or the other, sometimes glitching between both.. @_@..

convergence should be none for rift use.

Ah, that's a shame. Is there any difference between viewing it on the web and viewing it on an app (if you have both options on android)?

True, but unfortunately there's no way to simulate that without 3D glasses, an HMD, or Fov2Go. Viewing the video crosseyed will make the video look flat and viewing it walleyed will make it "pop out" more than normal... I think. So hopefully that means viewing it through lenses will make it just perfect. We'll need someone with a 3DTV to confirm, or better yet someone with a DIY Rift.

myoung, do you use a homemade engine ?

[Dakor]

Crazy, I just watched your clip on YT some days ago!
And I was wondering, you don't use Unity or UDK which would be the easiest way for Oculus support.
It looks nice so far

Now I think about it you are right. I'll give that a try. Thanks

I have been working on that render for a while. You can see my progress on my you-tube channel or on my blog.

You are right using Unity or UDK would be a lot easier. But I already had this renderer and it wasn't that hard to add the stereo code.

Its been a long time but my kit is finally here.
So I now have a video that actually works
Right now I'm trying to get a demo together that people can try out for themselves.
