[Rafy]

Daaaaamn!

 

[Canis lupus]

Is the one with Crystal Cove tech? When can I order it lol.

- consumer version unlikely in 2014

 

[Kouriozan]

Sounds awesome, but I'm waiting the consummer version.

 

[YuShtink]

Oh fuck yes, pre-ordering immediately

 

[Clott]

Let me preorder the damn thing!!

 

[Durante]

$350 including the camera? Bought.

Do people who supported the kickstarter way back when get early shipping?

Edit:
What the Hz? I need to know!

 

[Soi-Fong]

I'm all in on VR. Both Sony and OR's works!! Give me the damn page to order!!!!

 

[Triple U]

Looks cool buy eww at $350. Whats in the dev kit?

 

[TAJ]

No tracking markers? I mean, it has some distinguishing features, but not ones that could be reliably picked up in low light.

 

[Soi-Fong]

No tracking markers?

Hidden infrared.

 

[T.O.P]

It's a must that i upgrade my PC before the retailer version drops, can't wait

 

[ZetaEpyon]

Full specs and such on the new info page:
http://www.oculusvr.com/dk2/

Looks like 60, 72, 75Hz support.

 

[Freeman]

Where are the leds?

 

[B-B-Bomba!]

I wonder if Sony making noises will hurry these guys up.

 

[gofreak]

I wonder if 'consumer version unlikely in 2014' is messaging from Oculus or T3's speculation.

 

[SMOK3Y]

Oh fuck yes, pre-ordering immediately

Same here soon as ya can

 

[Durante]

What the Hz? I need to know!

Clearly I'm so excited I can't get basic grammar right.

Anyway, I really want to know if this one is low-persistence, and if so at what frequency it operates. If it is, I'll buy it Day 0.

Edit:

Fuck yeah!!

 

[kartu]

Let the war begin.

PS
Tried and was very unimpressed by the previous version of OR.

 

[Dr.Schlomo]

$350 is perfect in my opinion. If had something greater than a 660 I would probably pre-order one.

 

[gofreak]

Where are the leds?

Positional Tracking
Sensors Near Infrared CMOS Sensor
Update Rate 60 Hz

The page also says the field of view is 100 degrees...is that diagonal or horizontal? If diagonal it would be slightly narrower than DK1, no?

 

[rrs]

If only I had a spare $350 around, this would so be mine. Guess I know what I'm buying for Christmas ;3

 

[Man]

Cool! Can't wait to get a hold of it.

Price has risen tho...

 

[Hyb]

So when this gets release end of the year probably. Is there enough content for it? Or does it only have techdemo's?

 

[justsomeguy]

If I buy one, what kind of software can I use it with today? Is it just tech demos and a couple of games modded for it?

 

[Soi-Fong]

Hmm.. I thought so. 960 x 1080 on each eye on this DK2. People were riling on the Morpheus for being like that.

 

[Triple U]

Full specs and such on the new info page:

Looks like 60, 72, 75Hz support.

Seems pretty bare bones, accessory-wise. How expensive if the Rift going to be?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Great price.

 

[Soi-Fong]

That pre-order button isn't working...

 

[Panda Rin]

man, this is really tempting, but i have to hold out until the CV1, which is looking like a 2015 Q1/Q2 release at this point.

 

[StuBurns]

Slower than I expected, great spec for the price though.

Sony, OLED, don't be cheap.

 

[Durante]

That pre-order button isn't working...

You can go directly to the order page, but the paypal checkout is spazzing out on me :/

 

[PlumCantaloupe]

Looks really good though I am really concerned about having to set up an external camera to use the device. I know what it does is important but I wish there was some way to internalize it to make setup and its use in more dynamic environments more accessible.

 

[The_Super_Inframan]

Almost 500$ with taxes and shipping to Germany

Way to much for me at the moment, no VR for me this year... sigh

 

[Dennis]

- 1920*1080p AMOLED

- consumer version unlikely in 2014

GAF, you magnificent industry insiders, can anyone hook a brother up for a 1080p prototype?

 

[GeoGonzo]

Will be mine, no doubt.

 

[TheRealTalker]

so the Epic news is for that VR demo


pretty rad

 

[FlyinJ]

Seems like there is a problem ordering. The final "agree to terms" is missing copy, and the "submit" button is 2 pixels high. I hit submit, and it says there is an error.


I want to order RIGHT NOW.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Booo! Page is down!

Yay! Got it. Although there weren't any terms and the submit button was nothing ... plus the "Thank You" page isn't even showing anything.

But it's in!

 

[Soi-Fong]

Does this charge immediately?

 

[Durante]

Heh, the exact same thing happened to me.

Anyway:

Resolution 960 x 1080 per eye
Refresh Rate 75 Hz, 72 Hz, 60 Hz
Persistence 2 ms, 3 ms, full

Now we know the duty cycles available for the low persistence display!
Should hopefully be user selectable.

 

[scitek]

Just bought a PS4 last week, so I can't really justify the expense right now. That, and I need money to upgrade to the 800 series when Nvidia launches it later this year. I don't think a single 670 would be very good for the Rift at 1080p. Tough to do, but I'm gonna hold off.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

So conflicted... Don't have a gpu good enough for this yet (but most certainly could by the time this comes out). Hmm indeed lol. If the wait for consumer version isn't that much longer will probably just wait for that. You tease me too much Oculus!

 

[Phawx]

Paypal es el borked.

 

[TIMtationX]

YES. DEFINITELY getting this.

Just gotta figure out what I'm gonna do with my DK1.

 

[Stinkles]

Let the war begin.

PS
Tried and was very unimpressed by the previous version of OR.

you are literally the first person I have seen say that. And what war?

 

[Zeknurn]

Almost 500$ with taxes and shipping to Germany

Way to much for me at the moment, no VR for me this year... sigh

This.

I thought they were shipping them from inside the EU? I would have jumped on 350$+ shipping but for over 500$ eeeh.

 

[Canis lupus]

Do they take the money now or when it's shipped?
