Virtual Reality

After reading through a lot of articles since the Rift was bought out, I am very excited for it's production now.
You can see some key figures in VR development joining the team, and that is one of the things the original Rift team said they could not afford.
The other news is that SOE is 'Hugely Interested' in PS4 Virtual Reality Headset For EverQuest Next
We can already see from that sham of a Sony Demonstration that the Morpheus isn't even being shown on PS4's to begin with, so we will we see if this happens for the PC.

That won't happen for another decade imo. It requires a whole new way of doing VR that hopefully all this new funding going towards the Rift team will solve.
Motion Sickness is caused by so many things with the current tech. FPS fluctuation, low FPS, if the game freezes at any moment , Low res screens, motion Blurring etc.
Just adding the ability to be able to move in an out of space with the new camera helps, but that won't get rid of motion sickness.

Supposedly people playing the crystal cove prototype were able to wear it for hours at a time. According to them, motion sickness was almost entirely caused by latency.
Latency isn't caused by the Rift headset, it's caused by the hardware you are running it off of.
For instance when I play halflife 2 there is no latency. That factors into motion sickness, but isn't even close to solving it.
Even on the DK1 the head tracking is phenomenal as long as your computer can handle a high framerate.
The visual experience needs to be smooth with no hiccups in frames, no motion blur when you turn your head, and extremely clear.
You also need to be able to move in, and out with the head tracking, and have no loading screens.
Loading screens will make you throw up immediately. I'm not sure why that happens other then your brain is set to a certain viewing experience, and when it is lost it throws it all off.
Much like when you take off a VR helmet you feel off balance.

Back to being really clear, the DK2 (crystal cove prototype) isn't that huge of a jump up in visuals from the DK1 according that that 3D chart that Tuco posted.
It only gets good when you move up to 4k.
We obviously can not do 4k right now with they way we render frames from our computers, and keep a good framerate. So a new tech has to be created on the display side.
Being tied to doubling frames will kill VR.

I thought the same thing, but it works really well.
The controller gives you the superhuman speed, and doesn't tire you out. The helmet just gives you immersion, so instead of looking out of a window, you are in the game.

Ignoring the sensationalist and misleading headline, ZeniMax are after cash + shares:
John Carmack accused of stealing tech from id for Oculus Eurogamer.net

Twitter / ID_AA_Carmack: Oculus uses zero lines of code ...
I wonder if they'll have to prove "The proprietary technology and know-how Mr. Carmack developed when he was a ZeniMax employee, and used by Oculus, are owned by ZeniMax.", because I imagine ZeniMax was just a pain in his dick and made him quit in this time period.

Their case is probably, "Carmack was employed under Zenimax under this time period. Carmack developed stuff for Oculus under the same time period."Carmack_sl said:

A lot of companies make you sign something that says you will not work on something in the same industry on the side while you are working for them. I had to sign something like that when I was hired at my engineering job. I don't know how actionable it is, but I think it's pretty common at places like that.
You think that guy is simulating bird flight, but in reality he is having sex with Rosie O'Donnell...

indeed... that's with technology that is not really meant for that... think of what it will be just next year with 1 year better camera, computer and code...
