PointCTRL - Finger Mounted VR Controller


Recommended Posts

Can't see why not. Expected to work with 2D configs as well.

 

 

Thanks for continued responsiveness to the community Miles.

 

I agree Chic, From what I gathered it should work fine. I will be moving on to development for 2D monitors once VR production is going smooth.

 

The production stencil and another 1600 PCBS are almost done.

Every time I fly the F-14 I think about what it'll be like with PointCTRL and I pull this face:

same here, I think it is a close as clicking the switches for real. I have a lot of functions now setup with Viacom but it is not the same. I love the F14 with all the switches in the RIO cockpit

Excited to use this:D

 

Any guess on an ETA?

 

Thanks :thumbup:

 

Hey Farmer Tom, I think you have been here from the beginning.

Solder paste stencil for re-flow, and more production boards are almost complete. See last board processing below. I believe the last item in quantity I am waiting for is the Lipo safe bags for FCU shipment, storage, and charging.

 

I know a lot of you are anxious to try out PointCTRL and please know I am at this full time, its not something I am doing on the side. I really just want it to go out right.

 

About a month ago I thought "two weeks", but I must have messed up the order for the stencil, so here we are delayed. I can say we are very close, and I have a room full of components.

 

Thanks for your patience, and I hope it will be worth your wait.

 

 

Miles

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

 

Looking forward to trying this out, when the time is right!

Pimax pics

 

Hi MilesD, will pics of this type do? I tried different ways to show the dimensions laying a ruler, set square etc but in truth even with the camera zoomed in and held from a distance I could not get visible measurements to line up and show accurately in the pictures.

 

The 2 profiles shown side and top-down view give the dimensions of the area I presume you will need for the mounting if you need more I will get some graph paper and give it a try as you suggested.

 

As you can see the finish quality of the Pimax leaves a bit to be desired this is a problem Pimax is supposed to have addressed, it makes taking angles and dimensions tricky, to say the least, as there are ridges where the case seams should join flush, so I suggest to work to +/- 1mm and the same with the angles +/- 1-2 degrees.

 

If you need more let me know.

 

Regards Firecat.

Wow,

Thank you so much Firecat. What you did is perfect. No need for anything else. If you have the time, After I make the 3D model I would like to send you a PDF with 3 views and cutaways that you can cut out and test fit to check if we are close. Actually, I will post in forum for feed back from anyone.

 

 

I cant seem to find good dimensions, 3 view drawings, or 3d models of the oddesy. If anyone has the oddesy or any other HMD they would like an HMS mount for, just send me some pics like Firecat did.

You dont have to worry about measuring the angles, I will overlay the pic in the 3d design environment. The pictures should be taken as far away as possible while zoomed in to reduce perspective distortion. The views should be square to the HMD like a 3 view drawing, and the area of interest should be in the center of the pic.

 

Thanks again Firecat, this is a big help.

 

Thanks,

Miles

Glad to be of help Miles, when you have the cutaways I will test them for you to ensure they fit correctly.

 

 

Great work Sir. Please add me to the list.

 

You have been added.

Any thoughts on this working with the new HP Reverb HMD?

It looks rift-ish... So I'm guessing it should be fine, I just don't know if your IR tracking is gonna mess with the cameras.
