How do the samsung tv's work?
Another update, the problem is definitely software. I tried VR player and I manged to get it working with a movie. When zoomed in i was able to push out the borders to the point where they weren't distracting. So i'm assuming the included Tuscany demo has some strange setting for some reason.
You tell me! lol
Talking about curved TV's? I think a slightly curved display viewed from a distance isn't the same as wrapping an image around your periphery.
The people who've gotten Elite to work have also not said anything about the FOV so yeah, it might really be a software issue.

In this Road to VR Elite Dangerous video, he touches on the smearing briefly starting at 3:00: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxyfWtFoHkE
From his description of the issue, it sounds as though it should be less of a problem in darker games.
Oculus has a fix for the "back smearing" coming.

Stuck on Processing for over 3 days now..
Hmm might be a glitch and yours already shipped. There's a fair few who have received their DK2s and it still says on their order page that its processing.

This is also a (lesser) problem with a flat displays. as you rotate your eyes, the position of our pupils and retina changes.
The only real way to solve this to adapt the distortion shaders with eye-tracking, but there is a solutions to at least make the image look correct for the point you're looking at.
Mine is stuck on processing too. I'm hoping it shipped already and will be here Monday.
Something similar happened to me with the DK1 as well. Before the website had updated the status unexpectedly there suddenly was a guy outside my door with a package..
Mine is Thursday.
Chicagoan here and apparently, UPS Ground takes forever. Last location was Ontario, CA.Mine is Thursday.
Thursday here as well. Mississippi.
From the looks of it, I'm not even that impatient anymore. By Thursday a lot of the kinks will have been worked out and there will be more playable builds to try.

Same, it hasn't changed in days
and I pre-ordered within the first 3 hours tooAll those throwbacks but nobody seems really amaze to try a VR device more avdanced than anything before, and the DK1 made people crazy with less rez, features, slower response..
Is it weird ? Or are just people trying it already used to all that
I think pretty much everyone who's gotten their DK2 so far has been following for a long time and either owns or has extensively used DK1. The laymen will absolutely be blown away even more than the DK1. But to those that have used it, DK1 set a standard that pretty much didn't exist before it. DK2 is definitely above that standard, but it's not shocking to the seasoned users. They know pretty much what to expect, it isn't the wonderous mystery that DK1 was for a lot of us. When newbies start getting their DK2s and/or trying them places, they will still rave about it.
Glad to be in this group

Just be prepared to do a little bit of tinkering and try not get bothered if things aren't working perfectly when you first boot a demo up. You want your first VR experience to be this seemless, perfect thing. I know because I've been there. But chances are you're not going to be able to just plug it in and put it on and BAM you're having a perfect VR experience. But once it works, it WORKS.

Your location?
It's like having sex the first time. It was awesome, but the 2nd and 3rd time was much better. The experience still felt new.
As a shortsighted person (-1.5 on both eyes), should I instantly try the C cups first?
This might be a stupid question, but can you technically put screen protectors on the lenses. Like the ones you put on an iPhone. Or will the quality degrade too much?

So what is the latest order time that's been processed so far? I ordered at 5 on the 19th (was at work all day) and I'm still pending.
Just finished reading the review,
it seems honest and thorough. Most of the things discussed have already been mentioned in this thread, though:

I guess you'll find out soon. I hope they do.
I'm not sure, but that may be tricky if the DK2 also has lens curved on both sides, like the DK1 does.
Well I would only put it on the side that faces the user. I'm afraid of scratching the lenses if I wear my glasses with the first set of lenses.
The thing is, do you know of any convex screen protectors?
-edit-
You do bring up a good point on scratching the lens/glasses, I wonder if someone has or will do some testing on that.
For the Elite beta, obviously.
I'm talking about Oculus's R&D money, not our purchasing money. There's more for Oculus than just Elite.
I think you can buy protective lenses for the oculus. They are made of gel of some sort.
Contact lenses. lol sorry.

We should try and maintain a master list of everything working in DK2. Or does one already exist?
I don't understand your post then. Surely we can agree that DK1 is inadequate for developers since it lacks positional tracking, not to mention that the resolution is too low for designing legible UIs. Would you have developers hold off on their games until the hardware design is complete? I can't see how DK2 is a bad idea.
Cymatic Bruce (God bless him) has already compiled a linked list of everything compatible with DK2 so far:

Checked my mail for the first time in a couple of days.
You're receiving this email because your Oculus Pre-order is about to ship, and we've charged the remaining balance to the credit card on file.
Thanks for the link!

Having an anti-scratch coating on the lenses does not in any way affect development. You do realize that's what I was referring to, yes? The complaints about the lenses, not the existence of the DK2.
APPARENTLY NOT
I'll go back to waiting until Wednesday if it's all the same to you guys!
lol You need the SDK and the drivers. Every enthusiast faked being a developer and registered a fake project.
It's just a product that you have an idea for. So you can come up with a random title, for a game that you COULD, theoretically, in a few years, start developing.
If all goes well.It's just a product that you have an idea for. So you can come up with a random title, for a game that you COULD, theoretically, in a few years, start developing.
It is kind of odd that you can't add more projects or even really do anything with them..
Also, I'm not sure which of you guys here actually active in the Oculus forums, but there's basically a narrative that most of the Oculus employees are more active on the Oculus subreddit than the official forums. lol

I think this is the main line of thinking most need to come in with. We are getting unprecedented early access for a pretty revolutionary new device. The kinks are being ironed out.
I will say this, the point of all this is to have a seamless experience minus tweaking some settings to cater to each persons taste. I don't want to be talking about issues like this post release.
