Could be cool...

I'm afraid they forgot the wires.... it would all tangle up... or your pc would need to be fixed on same platform, to rotate with you. This can knly work with wireless controllers

A 10k arm guillotine with no clear indication how they solve the VR head tracking problem and a noose of wires floating around your head. I'll pass!

They obviously didn't thunk that one through properly. Good for a laugh though, funny how they sped the video up. Should have made it quicker, undo the belt harness and really fly!!!!

I'm throwing money at my screen.

 

One of the youtube quotes from SuperTurbo RobotNinja:

"I'm CTO of the project and a DCS fan, it may go to the simulator market with no throttle\rudder pedals\centered joystick only over my dead body :p"

The Rift camera is mounted to the platform you would sit on, directly in front of you. That solves the head tracking pretty easily. As far as the wires well that's a more interesting problem that I have no idea about either, but I'm pretty sure you won't be strangled by them. I still want one anyways though.

New commercial video released, supporting DCS World (end of the video)

 

 

Neeeeeed!

Let's face it, if you have the money for that, and the room to put it in, surely you can also afford a laptop with a 1080 fitted and have that directly attached to the unit. Certainly appeals to me.

[Frusheen]

Once again they are using a dcs cutscene. DCS output.lua does not support 360 degree rotation. The video you are watching is not a live recording of motion output from DCS it is just marketing hype and false advertising.

 

EDIT: as I've previously posted they have also not shown any form of motion cancelation for the headset. No placing the camera on the platform does NOT solve the problem.

It would be easy enough for ED to add what is needed to output.lua

Im sure oculus is working on motion platform compatability already.

You'd think they'd be all behind something as immersive as this, even if it was only used at trade shows.

A much cheaper and more convenient solution for VR..

That is the only viable solution.

 

 

None of these vaporware motion platforms that keep appearing are doing anything to cancel platform motion from head motion. It would require custom code in the headset SDK. It may be possible with a vive tracker puck at some point but is currently not possible at all on rift without additional hardware. The rift camera only updates at 60hz which is nowhere near fast enough to eliminate unwanted view changes when mounted on a platform. Recent Oculus updates have changed the tracking software to such an extent that the current runtime performs worse on a platform than it did at rift launch.

 

I'm hoping Oculus will use some of the samsung inner ear tech in the future. I think vestibular stimulation would work well with my G-Seat.
