Hi devs off ps2 : )

I just found something that you maybe will like and talk about in the office.

Its the first REAL virtual reality - Sponsored by ALOT of great game companies already: EPIC/VALVE/ID software to just name a few.

So look at the links i send you, Maybe you like it maybe you hate it
I just think it would be AWESOME if it would later down the ps2 road support that to, especially when you are a FPS mmo where you have to be aware of your surroundings.

Here is the links: Enjoy
(if you like it - feel free to send me a pm and say so )

(The official site)

(where you can by the dev kit: I have already ordered mine )


(And a movie where they talk about the virtual reality and interview some devs from other game companies )




And here is some things other devs have said about the device



“What I’ve got now, is, I honestly think the best VR demo probably the world has ever seen”
John Carmack, id Software

“Needless to say, I’m a believer… We’re extremely excited here at Epic Games to get the Unreal Engine integrated with Oculus”
CliffyB, Design Director Epic Games

“I think this will be the coolest way to experience games in the future. Simply that… that big”
David Helgason, CEO Unity

“I’m really looking forward to getting a chance to program with it and see what we can do.”
Michael Abrash, Valve

“It looks incredibly exciting, if anybody’s going to tackle this set of hard problems, we think that Palmer’s going to do it. So we’d strongly encourage you to support this Kickstarter.” Gabe Newell, President and Owner Valve

Exactly my thoughts to : )

Cant wait to play Doom 3 in true virtual reality

Time to get scared out of your pants again

But on topic:

This and ps2 will be so f in awesome if they decide to sponsor it also.
Think about it, Standing in TR warp and see those galaxys BOTH in 3d!!! AND in virtual reality !!!

And IF i understand this right now.... IT DONT track your head movement - It track your eyes and where you are looking, It was the way i understod it ...

And if you look at the site: They are ALREADY A LOT over the cash they need !
So this is reality as i write this, Just have to wait until a company take there thumbs out of there a*** and start to sell it in stores !

Hmm. Is this only a headset? Because if so, i want a full suit or gloves, boots, and helmet so i can control my whole character and it can tell where my hands are so it positions the gun accordingly and such, then i don't have to poke my whole body out of cover just to shoot a guy when all i need to do is poke out head and gun.

But otherwise this is awesome!! We will soon have true virtual reality

What it looks like its only the headset - But what you talk about is not so far away if this "Oculus" become reality....

Lets say that in 1 year this peace of tech is in the stores, THEN i would guess it would be like 2-3 years more until ppl like you and me start to tweek outise the "oculus area" and connect more and more stuff to it

I AM SO HAPPY that "the future" is finally here

I dunno... I'm more than willing to pay the $300 price point, that's honestly lower than I figured it would cost, but it IS a prototype. I'm sure it works but... only one game >.> Well, the VR part anyway. I'd like to think it can act like a 3D monitor for other games that don't support the VR tech.

But I do agree, this kind of thing + PS2 = awesome. If T-ray ever has it in him to tell his team to make helmet boarders for infantry huds, that would be the near ultimate immersing experience!

[Tseralith]

Not wishing to sound negative about this awesome piece of gear, but I sure hope this won't be too dangerous to use for people with epilepsy, not that I have it myself... just wondering since you'll be covering your eyes completely with it.
Apart from that I would love to try it out myself some day.

Some specs 4 the ppl that like know those kind of things

Technical specs of the Dev Kit (subject to change)
Head tracking: 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) ultra low latency
Field of view: 110 degrees diagonal / 90 degrees horizontal
Resolution: 1280×800 (640×800 per eye)
Inputs: DVI/HDMI and USB
Platforms: PC and mobile
Weight: ~0.22 kilograms

Doom3 /Half Life 2 / Portal 1+2 is two games that will support it

[RJTravis]

It looks cool and all but ts kinda at this point atm 300$ for a headset to play like 3 games then it becomes next to useless.

I got a 5 monitor display with almost zero bezel in 3D.

This head set will be great if they can get it to work with any game.

I would totally make a 360 desk with a free moving keyboard & mouse so I could just turn my chair & have my guy do a 360xD

Arma 3 + this headset would just be mind blowing for a combat sim.

What is this Vanu technology!

Playing Portal with virtual reality would be so sweet
