[The Elite]

Any reason to use earbuds over what is already available?

 

[Tain]

Touch is $199, 12/6.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Touch December 6th

 

[cleveridea]

lol too slow

 

[Gambit61]

Wait, why would I want earbuds? Do people like earbuds?

LOL, I can never keep those things in my ear. I wonder if they are actually good. Look like the RE-00.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

December, yeesh.

 

[Wallach]

december 6th nooooooooooooooo

 

[The Elite]

Touch December 6th

Wow. That's later than expected.

Two bundled titles. That's great.

 

[Foggy]

Ugh

 

[vermadas]

Damn, not happy with that date.

 

[Tain]

Touch supports roomscale.

With a third sensor, wtf? Is that needed?

 

[Zalusithix]

Jeez, they're just barely getting into that H2 2016 launch window for the Touch.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Did I black out for a second, or did he not confirm that a second sensor comes with Touch?

 

[cleveridea]

lol extra third sensor $79 for room scale

so Vive like system is $880

 

[Doc Holliday]

Basically its the price of the Vive when all added up.

 

[DieH@rd]

They require third camera ($80) for room scale.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Did I black out for a second, or did he not confirm that a second sensor comes with Touch?

It does, they confirmed it.

 

[Bookoo]

Nice. People already had the rumored date of 11/23, so it's not like it's that much farther back.

 

[Tain]

The third sensor thing is odd to me. Maybe you need three sensors if you don't want to mount the trackers up high? Two Oculus trackers at high positions (Vive basestation style) seems to do the job fine.

 

[The Elite]

Did I black out for a second, or did he not confirm that a second sensor comes with Touch?

We always knew this.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

It does, they confirmed it.

Ok good. Too bad you need three apparently!

 

[Wallach]

The third sensor thing is odd to me. Maybe you need three sensors if you don't want to mount the trackers to your wall, but two Oculus trackers at high positions (Vive basestation style) seems to do the job fine.

It's probably a combination of what they consider the space size for "room scale" and their occlusion requirements.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Ok good. Too bad you need three apparently!

I'm sure 2 suffices for small areas, but maybe to match the quality of the Vive's roomscale you need 3.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

So how does this work? Do I need more HDMI or USB slots on the computer to get touch and roomscale running or is there a pass through? I'm already running thin on slots.

Probably works fine with 2, 3 just means minimum chance of occlusion.

 

[DieH@rd]

4A Games, it's not a Metro title.

 

[Bookoo]

Ok good. Too bad you need three apparently!

Don't think you need it. Some guy on youtube was doing roomscale with 2 with his dev kit touch.

 

[Zalusithix]

Might be to alleviate the reduced FoV of the Oculus cameras vs the lighthouses? Issues with off-angle viewing of the Touch's LED patterns? It's certainly a bit strange.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Ready at Dawn's game looks ridiculous!

 

[Tain]

Ready at Dawn's new game looks good, even given the dev's pedigree lol

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Hm, I guess we'll see. Weird of them to squeeze that 3-sensor setup in there, as if they were admitting to something.

These games look alright!

 

[GuitarAtomik]

RAD game looks pretty gorgeous.

 

[Tain]

This is probably Epic's Bullet Train team but in a full game

edit: yup

 

[Doc Holliday]

Woah!!!!!!

 

[Sylverstone14]

This Epic Games trailer reminds me of the one for Affordable Space Adventures.

 

[Wallach]

oh man bullet train looks like it became something amazing

 

[Wrestlemania]

Robo Recall looks amazing.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

These games look really high fidelity, visually.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

How muchs Touch?

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Everything was Robots.jpg


Game looks cool though.

 

[The Elite]

How muchs Touch?

$199 USD

 

[Wallach]

How muchs Touch?

200 bucks. Preorders in 4 days, shipping Dec 6th apparently.

 

[The Elite]

200 bucks. Preorders in 4 days, shipping Dec 6th apparently.

Oh, preorders in 4 days. I wonder how our slots in line will be handled. I guess we have a window to preorder to reserve our spot?

 

[Doc Holliday]

Damn all this shit looks really cool

 

[MiamiWesker]

That epic games game is incredible! sad that it's just a free thing, probably just a demo.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Oh snap! Actually talking about diversity.

 

[Gnub]

That "diverse group of people"....

 

[Sylverstone14]

Ah, diversity.

 

[jett]

Touch at 199 comes with two controllers, right?

They have to drop the price of the Rift. Oculus+Touch+Extra Sensor is more expensive than the Vive.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Lucky raging right now lol
