Is it still possible to be added to the list? I'd be very happy if you could add me to the release list.

 

Regards,

Hi Miles / FireCat.

 

I would like to be added to the list if possible. Good luck with the launch, It sounds like you've done a great deal of development work to get to this point, I'm sure it will pay off.

 

What is the latest. I just cant read the whole thread but did get through half of it.

Wish to be on the list.

Is there a link to a central location for all the pertinent info?

 

You have been added to the list link below.

Thanks for the link! Wow, what a great thread! There's a lot of very talented people out there!!!

 

Did you post anything about how you made the joystick stand in another thread or did I miss that? Or was it a case of raiding your nearest hardware store and trying different pipes to see what worked?

Just a suggestion Firecat/miles

 

For the ordering updates can you guys create a "locked" thread just posting out the groups? trudging through 113 pages is a bit much for most people as is checking this thread every few days. Just have Post 1 how it works. Post 2 serving customers XYZ, post3 serving customers ABC, etc. Easy to check and don't allow other posts there.

Hello,

Your project is awesome and Iam looking for a device to interact wit the vr world. At this time I use a mouse to interacted. Can someone please answer my questions regarding the operation of this great device.

How the device does the device is operated? The same way as a mouse? When I take the mouse under Vr and like to switch a switch I have to freeze any movement until I got the switch in the desired position. Is this like the same with the pointclr ? Is there a video to see how it works?

 

Thanks

Yes, I think that s a great idea. I like this thread for feedback and sharing progress its almost useless for someone like avidflyer to try and figure out the current status. I did not see an option to start a locked thread, Is that something a moderator has to do?.

I will start organizing some data as you suggested and format into an single information post. The same data will be added to the PointCTRL web site wich is WIP.

 

Thanks for the direction Harilwin,

The cursor mostly stays where it is when you move your head, but its not perfect. When you move your head left and keep your hand stationary, the cursor will not follow the headset like a normal mouse. The cursor will sweep right with the rest of the cockpit until it reaches it limits. Its definitely much easier than a mouse.

 

Thanks

In the cockpit, the device is intuitive to use right from the get go. There's not a terrible amount of thought required to use it, which is nice when you are screaming along at under 100' feet setting things for the final pop up.

Yea, I really need to get the web site up.

The additional items are essentially spare parts. If you break an FCU case, you can just replace it. While the batteries just plug in, they are not intended to be quick change. Lipo batteries usually last at least 300 cycles depending on use. The extra batteries are for when they start to degrade. If customers have more than 1 V/R headset the then can purchase another HMS mount and micro USB cable and just switch the PCB between the two.

I hope that helps.

 

Miles

Having Los, Hansang, Mariner, and Firecat on-board is huuuuge, and sped things up so much. I had tunnel vision on so many things because I was not really flying with it much. Los, Hansang, and Mariner would point out the real world stuff I was missing.

 

Los is always anticipating "What would the average user do", Mariner spends countless hours setting up, testing, and working through issues over the phone with me, Hansang is focused on updating documentation to ensure users don't get frustrated, and of course his awesome videos, and FireCat jumped in on his own initiative to keep everybody in "que", answers questions, or directs members where they can find the answer.

 

I often thanked the community their support and jumping in to assist others, and while Los, Hansang, Mariner, and Firecat know I thanked them a lot privately, I want to thank them publicly, Thanks Guys, I would still be screwing around with stuff if it weren't for you.

 

Now, I just have to deliver, and keep this train on the tracks.

Hi Miles, do you know if this will fit a HP Reverb? If not, do you need measurements? I should be getting mine tomorrow.

Rage,

That would be great, I will post a pic of the Reverb with what I need to scale it. Once the model is done I will post for your review.

 

Thank you, this is very helpful.
