Hey guys,
Long time lurker, first post, can’t wait for BMS like the rest of u.
I thought this news could be very interesting to peeps around here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1523379957/oculus-rift-step-into-the-game/
This oculus HMD has been developed in collaboration with John Carmack and demo’d to a few other very big names in the industry who seem very excited about it’s capabilities, as am I.
The main things about it are the technical aspects it has addressed, and ofcourse the support it has by game developers going forward.
Low latency:
This was a major problem (and still is) with other HMD units where the image position wouldn’t update fast enough to maintain the immersion in the world
High FOV
90degrees horizontal FOV is way above anything I’ve seen out there atm, and this is just the dev kit. This will most likely improve in the near future with new low latency LCD being developed all the time.
Software support
The dev kit comes with doom3 BFG edition, with JC’s integration work done for the head tracking. The main factor here is that it’s not a hack which emulates the mouse movement! It’s a model of how the head moves seperately from your aim in the game, aswell as how it moves in relation to your neck, so it can mimic this movement within the game world.
Open source development
An SDK is being prepared to support integration into games, and is being fielded by the likes of Valve, Epic, id, etc
Overall very exciting and long overdue for something like this to make it’s way into the gaming world! 
What do you guys think? will it change gaming as we know it?
