metalnwood Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I have tried the oculus on a sunny day where trackir would glitch and become annoying but I never had the same issues with the rift. I agree the technology in the vive for tracking is pretty cool and gives it a much wider view for the 5x5m space it can use but if you dont need the space, like cockpit games, then that technology doesn't give an inherent advantage in terms of performance.

metalnwood Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I used to use the rift in the lounge where my racing sim was. I dont know how it deals with extra sunlight but I do know that in the same room I had to put up things to block light for TIR to work without some grief. I never had to with the rift. Perhaps it's because the rift has so many individual light sources at known distances/points that it is able to ignore erroneous light.. Dont know..

metalnwood Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Good find and point S3NTRY11!! Being the lenses are plastic, as with almost all plastics, sunlight (UV rays) are very likely to cause some damage, certainly over a period of time. Think plastic automobile headlight lenses, or cheap sunglasses... Like any piece of consumer electronics I have had, it will be replaced for a newer model before the suns UV has any chance to break it. There is not a lot of UV in a house, most doesnt get through the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
average_pilot Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 That´s cool. Do you know how rift deals with the sunlight interference?Every LED flashes with a code, what makes them easier to detect in an environment with lot of other IR interferences, I guess. A steady IR LED just disappears in the middle of the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Python Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Not sure how true this is, but it's looking like the Vive will cost more than the rift by about $200. http://uk.ign.com/articles/2016/02/21/htc-vive-price-and-release-date-leaked [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frusheen Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 It's nothing to do with HTC or Facebook in the case of Rift. All imports to the EU have VAT added. I'd expect the Vive to be about €900 delivered. __________________________________________________Win 10 64bit | i7 7700k delid @ 5.1gHz | 32Gb 3466mhz TridentZ memory | Asus ROG Apex motherboard | Asus ROG Strix 1080Ti overclocked Komodosim Cyclic | C-tek anti torque pedals and collective | Warthog stick and throttle | Oculus Rift CV1 | KW-908 Jetseat | Buttkicker with Simshaker for Aviators RiftFlyer VR G-Seat project: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2733051#post2733051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
average_pilot Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 It sounds like a right price with two VR controllers and two lighthouse bases. Lately I was fearing it would reach 1000$. Next question is when will they begin shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivas Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 800 dollars is a good price for the headset and controllers. Glad to see they are also selling there hardware near cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most DCS fans, the controller won't add much to the value proposition. No doubt, and it's one of the reasons that I've preordered the Oculus hardware. BUT they are still keeping much of final specs of both systems very close to their chests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
