I've googled it and everything though... can't find crap.

Anyone else heard about it?

Yeah I don't think there's much info about it out there right now.

Rift CV1 will cost more than $350, but "roughly in that ballpark"

http://www.roadtovr.com/oculus-founder- ... price-350/

In an interview at Connect, I asked Luckey if the consumer Oculus Rift price would come in around that $350 ballpark target that had been discussed by the company long ago. His response is included here in full:

You know, I’m going to be perfectly honest with you. We’re roughly in that ballpark… but it’s going to cost more than that. And the reason for that is that we’ve added a lot of technology to this thing beyond what existed in the DK1 and DK2 days
...
The Rift is a lot of custom hardware. It’s using lenses that are some of the hardest to manufacture lenses in any consumer product you can go out and buy. It’s using custom displays we worked on with Samsung that are optimized for virtual reality, in a lot of ways even beyond what you’re actually seeing on these prototypes on the show floor. And the tracking system, the same thing. We could have made tradeoffs that had… honestly like 90% of the tracking quality we had now, and we decided to do things that would bump that quality up a little bit more even though it raised the cost of the headset. I can’t tell you that it’s going to be $350, and I would say I think people are going to be happy with what they get for the price because I really do think it’s going to be that best VR headset you can buy.

Hopefully that will change in December when the oculus SDK gets to 1.0 and stops changing.

Is that the "really cool" announcement from today?

Bah!!! Things have gone too quiet, I'm getting impatient.

Yeah, that's what they announced at the gaming awards.

Next news event will be an nvidia+HTC presentation on the 8th.

I am thinking of this game, just for the Rift support.

I've just been included on a research grant at work that involves 3D / VR. I'm kinda excited that I'll be able to get one and claim it as a work expense.

They must be getting closer if they are starting to release the bundle information. Pre-orders will be sold pretty quick. Anyone know who's got the Australian distribution?

Sweet. It would be nice to know a price though.

Yeap, if I remember correctly it was going to be around $300-350?

Might have to get a new video card as well..

Let's see as that was stated a long time ago, global markets have changed quite a bit since then. My prediction is it'll be well over that USD & close to $500-$600 AUD.
I hope not but I can't see how it won't be now.

do you get car/sea sick?

richo · Post by **richo** » Tue Jan 05, 2016 12:07 pm

Sea sick in rough seas from time to time not for nearly 20 years and I fish usually 10klm+ offshore.

But I feel worse with some shaky cam stuff .

Pre-Order goes live tomorrow. Fuck it, I am going to pre-order one. Anyone in QLD who wants to try it can contact me and have a go.

If the reports on system requirements are correct, I'd need a new GPU. Fuck that. When I build a PC, I like to get at least 2-3 years use out of it before I need to start throwing more money at it. Not less than 12 months.

Does it really need 4 usb ports? holy fuck

It's 3 USB 3.0 ports you'll need for the "full" Oculus experience.

You'll only need 2 USB 3.0 ports when using the Rift (one for the Rift itself and one for the constellation sensor). The other port would be for the Touch by Oculus controllers.
