willibeu Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I would say this will go to textbooks as one of the biggest cons and pyramid scams in a history of Kickstarter. Summed up bluntly and without political correctness: 1- Palmer took idea from forums that was available for free 2- sold it on kickstarter 3- swindled hundreds of thousands people out of milions $ with false promises 4- sold out, pocketed the money and left without delivering what he got the money for Wow....been having a blast with the DK1 for many months ...now finding out I got swindled. Google ...I got swindled with the DK1 ...watch for all the hits you get.....Rise of Flight with Tridef looks and feels awesome even with the low resolution. Should have the Riftup kit in any day now for full 1080p glory. NOW IF DCS COULD JUST GET THEIR PRODUCT WORKING WITH THE RIFT AND AMD USERS!!!!! Please at least acknowledge the problem. Will it be working with DK2????
Mnemonic Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 ...Riftup kit in any day now for full 1080p glory... Half 1080p, not full, it's just half of the screen per eye anyway.
willibeu Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Half 1080p, not full, it's just half of the screen per eye anyway. I realize that ...full was an adjective describing glory not 1080p...not clear ..my bad.
SkateZilla Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Those accelerometers are to know the down direction. You can't get any useful position data from them. It's a common error to think otherwise.

Facebook is also going to risk their multi-billion dollar corporation over this also right? Why is anyone even entertaining this guy.Go troll somewhere else.

He's a rep from these guys http://www.simpit.co.nz/ ..so, it kinda makes sense, in that he has a commercial reason to spread FUD to feed his kids or something (with $67,000 projector system sales..) EDIT: I'm amazed Matt is ok with leaving stuff like libel against OR on this board. I have friends and old colleagues that now work at OR and I know for a fact this isn't some sort of criminal 'scam'. Maybe the relationship with ED has changed, which is a real shame as there was plenty of potential. Edited July 4, 2014 by fearlessfrog Unmoderated boards ~~~ http://www.mudspike.com
sobek Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Half 1080p, not full, it's just half of the screen per eye anyway. And both of those halves feature a pixel row count of 1080. :) Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
SkateZilla Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Half 1080p, not full, it's just half of the screen per eye anyway. it's still 1080 scan lines per eye. You'd be surprised how many devices say 1080p and are actually Compressed/HDV 1080p (1440x1080, instead of Full Resolution 1920x1080) Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs
zahry Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Those accelerometers are to know the down direction. You can't get any useful position data from them. It's a common error to think otherwise. thats how vuzix presented the technology at that time and i didn't physically took it apart (it is some time since i've sold it - 4 years). It definitelly had a pitch, yaw, roll and i distincly remember the "fun"when i was trying to read the instruments by bringing my head close enough forward to be able to read it. I'll look into it.
superdeluxo Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Hi, new to the forums, having just purchased Flaming Cliffs 3 I'm really eager to hear whether the issue with AMD Cards and the black screen with the oculus rift will ever be resolved? Does anybody know if there has ever been any official response on this? My guess is no as I could not find any.
npole Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Half 1080p, not full, it's just half of the screen per eye anyway. You wrong. 1080p means 1080 lines with progressive scan, that is the current vertical resolution of DK2 (for each eye). It's the horizontal resolution that is split: 1920 / 2 = 960. It makes a big difference.

Does anybody know if there has ever been any official response on this? My guess is no as I could not find any. No word on it just yet. It is driving me mad. I so want to order DK2 but until i can get DK1 working with DCS or hear that DK2 works with AMD cards i dont think i will. Black Shark is one of the main reasons i want the Rift. Please help us.....

Python Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Finally got to try a rift at RAF Waddington Airshow yesterday. I'm certain it was the first dev kit and it was displaying a very basic walk around program so I didn't really get a good sense of what it can offer unfortunately. One thing I did notice though is that my face got incredibly hot during the short time I had it on. I hope they add a bit of ventilation to production models. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Don't know if it's the case itself or the foam
