The Oculus Rift

Anyone tried out the Oculus Rift VR headset?

I acquired one recently, and it sure is interesting.

Is anyone developing something for it?

Yeah, I’ve tried one of the older kits. I’m keen to see how the new ones have improved.

I helped develop and test a bubl + Rift prototype and it’s made me realize the VR film has a lot of potential. Imagine a horror movie where you hear and see something something over your shoulder, creeping up behind you…

It’s also fairly easy to get up and running with vr.js or the Unity plugins.

I started implementing support for it in State of Fortune some 8 months ago after I got mine. I never finished it though because I had to rewrite the whole UI to not just be a 2D overlay but in 3D and some other things. I’ll brush it up when the consumer version is out :slight_smile:
