Support NeoGAF

[Lakuza]

oh nice, desktop support in dash

 

[Soulstar]

I forgot this was happening and got here in time to see Oculus Dash. What did I miss?

 

[stoke1863]

Oculus Dash lets you run Desktop apps! finally

 

[Bsigg12]

Oooooh I really like the new Dash stuff.

 

[terrible]

Whoa, the dash basically has an integrated virtual desktop. This sounds amazing.

 

[HellBlazer]

Oh, I thought this thread was about playing Connect Four in VR...

check the updates in the first post for everything you've missed. Trying to keep it updated

 

[Billy Big Bollocks]

Can look at gash with Oculus Dash?

Dash-ception

Pinned to the side while you shoot robots even.

 

[Wollan]

So are they basically admitting up front that Santa Cruz tracking will not be as good as Rift?

No, not at all. Since the camera tracking is moving with you as a person, anywhere, and the tracking radius is huge (going behind your head even) you are basically walking in endless tracking volume.

 

[Lakuza]

Dash uses React VR tech they announced last year.

 

[stoke1863]

New home

 

[Soulstar]

Nice. Thanks.

 

[stoke1863]

Basically dash has replaced home, and the new home is just a sandbox

 

[Plasma]

Oh man that's awesome.

 

[bomb]

come on FPP PUBG.

 

[Bsigg12]

The apps as cartridges is a neat little touch.

 

[stoke1863]

home looks like its going to be really cool to demo VR to a first timer, i currently use the Touch Demo for this purpose.

 

[Wollan]

Did Oculus Home just switch from Unity to Unreal Engine 4?
(I'm pretty sure it was Unity powered before)

 

[terrible]

The apps as cartridges is a neat little touch.

I'm gonna boot all my games like this, no regrets.

 

[vermadas]

Hmm, can we import our own models and artwork?

 

[RRockman]

I was coming to make this joke, but you got me beat.

 

[stoke1863]

Beta out in December.

Also Oculus please open the rift store to other HMD's!

 

[Lakuza]

Hmm, can we import our own models and artwork?

I hope so, it can compete with steam vr environments that way.

 

[Soroc]

permanent price of rift $399

Excellent, I figured they would stick with that price since they couldn't keep them stocked during the summer at that price. I impulse bought at that price point.

 

[Ionic]

Avatars being usable on Steam is probably the first platform inclusive decision I've ever heard Oculus make. I wonder if they'll go further with that.

 

[Bookoo]

Interesting that the oculus avatar will be able to work cross platform. It would be awesome if they opened the store for other headsets.

 

[Lakuza]

2 dev tools released:

• lost frame capture - shows where fps drops occur
• multiview - boosts framerate

new avatars announced. More options, custom clothing, cross platform

 

[Wollan]

Oculus Avatars coming to both Steam and Daydream platforms. Interesting political move.

 

[Plasma]

I just want a mute button for my microphone so it isn't on all the time, right now I just disable it entirely.

 

[Kaako]

Hell yea universal creep blocker.

 

[stoke1863]

New Oculus store coming soon

 

[Shifty]

In for Carmack making everyone else look comparatively stupid.

 

[Plasma]

Heh if they make an actual virtual game store that you can pick up games from a shelf and look at box art that would be pretty neat.

 

[Lakuza]

explore api is already on gear vr, good to see it coming to rift too.
live streaming features coming to rift next year

 

[stoke1863]

meh social media stuff now..... PASS

adding these to op too.

 

[Wollan]

Facebook Spaces coming 'to other platforms soon' (beyond Rift).

 

[Lakuza]

quill art in facebook spaces is a good idea.
Would be nice if they do they same for AnimVR too.

EDIT: didn't realise quill allows for animations :O

does anyone really care about Facebook in 2017?

 

[Wollan]

does anyone really care about Facebook in 2017?

About ~2 billion last I heard.

 

[Lakuza]

Facebook 3d posts sounds great Competing with sketchfab

https://youtu.be/e6-bMz0I0Ag

Oh ok, i have seen this one before. Just didn't click it was with quill too when i skimmed through it lol. I saw it on a facebook animation club i'm part of where a lot of animVR stuff is posted so got it confused for that.

 

[stoke1863]

About ~2 billion last I heard.

and are they sort of people to watch a Keynote event about VR?

 

[Bookoo]

About ~2 billion last I heard.

And they can eventually expand this tech outward to their other popular things such as instagram.

Spaces is actually really neat, but it was just super limited in its current state so this news is pretty cool.

 

[Lakuza]

7k people watching on facebook livestream last time i checked which is more than twitch stream

 

[cleveridea]

yes jason rubin

 

[Lakuza]

Time for game announcements

 

[stoke1863]

7k people watching on facebook livestream last time i checked which is more than twitch stream

It was at 15K when they were talking about games and headsets and died to 6k when they started to blart about social media.

Still haven't been able to play Killing Floor since it bugged out on me.
