Farmville 3d ;) Oh the Horror ! It really depends if this deal makes the Oculus Rift easily affordable then its a good deal. Jon says it addresses some scaling issues which I am assuming to be getting it ready for mass distribution.

What a shitty way to treat all the people that funded the kickstarter with Luckey's vision of a completely open VR platform. We'll probably still continue with the Fabric extension as even if we eventually change to a different VR system a lot of the work will remain valid. Meh.

As you said Paul, there are a lot of possibilities for mixing different kind of tech available to all that would provide better tools for vfx artists and supervisors. F.

With the extension system we have, it's possible for anyone to hook up custom hardware or build on top of our reference implementations. The Sixens guys have some cool technology coming in the summer (they developed the Razer Hydra) that should be great to work with. Man, now I'm all excited again :) On 27 February 2014 12:32, Francisco Criado <[email protected]> wrote: Well guys if you run out of geeks for betatesting i don't have any trouble for burning my eyes with softimage and the rift!

Right now we're just thinking about a smooth path to get production data viewable - then we start thinking about interaction models and approaches. Scene assembly and lighting could start getting quite interesting :) For now it's just a science project to stop Helge going mad implementing various file extensions...
