Working with this. It seemed to be working, but when I launched Lucky's Tale, it said something about the controls, I fumbled some buttons, then it switched to Japanese and became unresponsive.
Deleted and re-downloading. Looks like it should work though.

Real reason I'm posting is to make sure Howard sees Revive. It's open source. It may be useful for injecting wii controller info.

I'll take a look. Right now I'm just trying to get things stable. I think it's my weak system specs, but the headset is giving me some issues. I tried redout and it ran too slowly to be playable, so I tried tweaking the settings in game and that just seemed to make the whole thing unstable and crash. I thought maybe I could go into the game in regular mode, change the settings and then launch in VR, but the demo doesn't appear to save settings. Race the sun runs rock solid and stable and redout isn't that much more intensive graphically, so I'm not sure what the issue is... might just be with that game.

Btw the videos I meant were those huge 4k ones that are stereoscopic and you can look around. You see them on pr0n sites a lot but there are also more traditional videos like roller coasters or swimming with fish. My machine tends to stutter with them even in a regular non-vr media player, so it might be a codec issue or something. It could also be rendering the video onto a sphere as my experiments with it for use with front-ends in the past found that to take a lot of processing power.

Also, do you guys think it would be possible to add better optics to these units? The real thing holding them back seems to be the lenses.... everything else is of pretty high quality. I think it'll be fairly easy to get wiimotes or something similar working as controllers so that part of the equation isn't a big deal.

Howard_Casto:
Dang.... can't do oculus on this pc. It says I need a cpu with sse 4.2 support. I think this one only does three. I might try getting the rig to work on my laptop again but with integrated video I doubt I could play much.

*edit*

Apparently this is one of the first cpus to support sse 4.2 and the software only needs 4.1 anyway. It's a known issue and there is a hacked version that bypasses the check. I'll give that a go.

BadMouth:
Dunno if it would be worth it for you. Getting Revive to work is starting to feel like getting the VR headset to work all over again.
I can launch the games through steam. They show up on the desktop, but not the headset. Lucky's Tale has what looks like the headset not detected screen, but it's in Japanese and doesn't respond to anything.
Spent enough time on it tonight.

Howard_Casto:
Yeah this is a lot of fiddling, but for that price I kind of expected it to be. I'm just playing with it to see what I can get working and to pass the time at night... if it gets too frustrating I'll just box the whole thing up and save it for when I upgrade.
