Hi,

Didn't know where else to post this, but thought it was a great general interest story. I am the owner of both versions of the Oculus Rift development kit (DK1 and DK2), and am looking forward to trying this out when the author releases it:



What do you guys think?

That is very cool!

You've seen this, correct?

I just love the pixel level detail on the screens of the machines.
