Both do room-scale fine, and both support using more than 2 stations. At least with Oculus (haven't heard from Vive, though I expect them to be similar), using more cameras can be used to increase the tracking volume.

HTC Vive wins if it less than $599. But it also wins if its a more robust hardware thats under $800

You're already putting $900 to $1200 on VR ready gaming PC. When you're willing to put that much on it, plus $600, its better to go for higher tech version with extra $200.

Oculus Rift is a budget version of luxury. Its basicly for people who pretend they can afford luxury.

Rift just shouldn't have gone over $450, because thats where the console market is at and willing to pay.

>>323215932
That's a hell of a compelling case you've displayed

I don't know how I can ever hope to refute any of those well researched points

>>323216714
There are conflicting reports coming from people who tried both at CES. Some say the Rift's screen is better, some say Vive's is better. Some say the tracking was better on VIve, other says they're identical. Some said they had technical issues with their Vive demos.

If you don't want to commit to one right now, wait until the consumer Vive and Oculus Touch are both out and make a decision then.

>>323217168
Yes, they do. Glasses don't just refocus, they cause a a slightly wider FOV to be compressed into a smaller one, at least for short-sighted people. Far sighted ones and reading glasses have the opposite effect.

This is aimed for pc gamers all the way trough, rift is luxury VR just has better specs cause its coming out later.

>>323213938 (OP)
vive is going to be more expensive, but its much closer to virtual reality than the rift will ever be. the two towers, the two controllers, the headset, the ability to walk around within a small environment, its all much better. Plus, if they will release the headset on its own for cheaper or the same pricepoint.

The question now is why get the Oculus when the VIVE does everything better and has more options.

>>323215441
sony is the only one actually improving VR by giving it built in hardware. You won't need a 6000$ gaming pc with Sonys VR. It will just work, also sony is the only one pushing technology while Rift and Valve are just using software tricks and HQ monitors to make their VR.

>>323220247
Sure but you'll need at least $800 for just the headset.

So close

Why don't they just make the screens upgradeable?
Can't be that difficult to use something like Display Port, except smaller, and having a connector inside the VR goggles and one on the screens.
If a better screen gets released, take out your obsolete one and replace it with the new one.

Maybe that's Vive's huge breakthrough and why their CEO talked about the Vive being an investment.

Meanwhile, the husband, overjoyed, waddles over hastily to his computer to share the wonderful news with his internet surrogate buddies, eagerly looking forward to his new kid's toy while his wife continues to treat him like the juvenile, pathetic little manchild he is, siphoning dough from his wallet to pay for the chlamydia treatments from all the extensive cuckolding. Fucking faggot. If it was up to me I'd urinate on that worthless fag. I would wipe my shoes on his face. Then, I'd do him a solid and put one metal slug in his dome.

Man, it makes me kinda sad how people are reacting to the Rift being expensive and the Vive being better (in terms of features and included hardware, no one really knows which consumer pro duct is better because no one has tried the consumer rift or consumer vive).

People who had all this faith in Oculus want the Vive to be bad, but no one has any idea at the moment. Just goes to show how strong cognitive dissonance is—people will passionately defend or shit-talk either product, having tried neither, just because they are emotionally and/or financially invested in one.

Anyway, I hope the Vive is better because I'd rather my money go to Valve than Facebook, but if it's not I'll buy a Rift.

Enjoy your drama and shitposting <3

I think the guy is just noticing the narrower vertical FoV? Most people say they're comparable FoV wise. Vive having a more square FoV and Rift CV1 being wider. Maybe Vive has a larger sweet spot?

I remember the time they talked about wanting to make VR affordable for a lot of people. Granted this was before they sold out. Rift is shit. VR in general will have no place for a long time.

There is no such thing as financial investment in the Rift. It's a preorder that doesn't even charge your card until it ships. If Vive turns out to be better, you can just cancel. Exactly what I plan on doing.

I'd buy a VR set for $300-$350 just to watch movies on and do stupid things. Gaming aspect doesn't remotely interest me. $100 worth of screens, decent optics, and cheapo package and call it day.

What matters is that Valve built the groundwork for ANY hardware company to make their own Lighthouse VR system which is both superior and cheaper than IR cameras.

It automatically wins in the long term.

>>323232741
But that also accounts for people without the glasses that need the different A or B cups as well as distance for focus. It shouldn't make a big enough difference as you're making it out to be.

>>323235260
It does, Oculus has said this in many a interview.

>>323235024
>>It automatically wins in the long term.

Thing about Oculus' use of cameras is that they can upgrade them later on for Kinect style tracking giving you full body immersion. You don't have that upgrade path with Lighthouse.

This shit isn't going to determine a winner early on. 1% of people will give a enough of a fuck and actually be able to dedicate a room to this. What matters early on is price and quality and if you take the lighthouse shit out they're not that different and vive will likely be much more expensive.

Probably not so much considering 8k at 60fps is nearly impossible if at all

>>323236708
I would say that the lateral movement is so that when you move your head in real life sideways, it registers in the game. Unlike the Rift, where your head is mounted on a stick with a gun.

>>323237685
That's wrong, though.

>>323237468
Foveated rendering would fix that. Also you need 90fps.

It's a terrible purchase even if it takes 2 years for Rift/Vive 2.0.

>>323237468
You dumb? It's wireless UP TO 8k, it doesn't matter if it's 2k right now, it will still work wirelessly.

The Rift is compatible with OpenVR, right?

Wouldn't that mean that the Rift can play all VR games whereas the Vive is limited to the ones made with the OpenVR SDK?

>>323236708
>vive's only benefit is walking around, i.e. a gimmick

You've never used VR before if you think walking is a gimmick. It makes a big fucking difference, it's the difference between actually feeling (presence) there as VR should be and just feeling really immersed, unless it's a cockpit game.

>>323238195
Not anymore it's not. They specifically said no porn.

>>323238195
Compatible doesn't mean work well. We'll have to see when we actually get some OpenVR games released.

>Oculus inflating the price with useless headphones and a controller people would already have

>>323239110
There are MMOs that support VR already, like Elite Dangerous.

>>323239251
A lot of people wish we would sell a bundle without “useless extras” like high-end audio, a carrying case, the bundled games, etc, but those just don’t significantly impact the cost. The core technology in the Rift is the main driver - two built-for-VR OLED displays with very high refresh rate and pixel density, a very precise tracking system, mechanical adjustment systems that must be lightweight, durable, and precise, and cutting-edge optics that are more complex to manufacture than many high end DSLR lenses. It is expensive, but for the $599 you spend, you get a lot more than spending $599 on pretty much any other consumer electronics devices - phones that cost $599 cost a fraction of that to make, same with mid-range TVs that cost $599.

>>323239207
That was already ripped apart in the previous thread.
It has angle and range problems which pretty much break the experience.
And Oculus doesn't even support it officially so don't expect a single room-scale game for Rift.

You are comparing a room setup to a seated one. If you want a room experience with oculus you will need to do the same and put each camera in a corner.

>>323239647
What in the SDK shows support for room scale? All it is is the camera's having a wide enough FoV to track is all.

>>323239647
At what maximum range? Because the tracking quality drops off in precision very quickly the farther you are.
There IS a reason why the CES 2016 demos are confined to a tiny square, you know.

>>323239534
Not to mention you need to set up the camera's in opposite corners to have it really work. Not as easy as with Lighthouse which only needs a power connection.

>post yfw umemaro gets VR support

>>323239970
It is mostly constrained by system noise. The current implementation has enough power to track beyond 6 metres range from a base, but the quality of the fix degrades with range. How much is complex. There are interacting trade-offs surrounding limits on eye-safe optical power, choice of carrier frequency, spin rate, spin jitter, sensor bandwidth, sensitivity and noise, etc. With today's implementation of Lighthouse we are mostly constrained by what all of those end up looking like: Noise in the reported bearing angles of each sensor. A reasonable figure is say 50 microradians 1-sigma, even if it is often better than that.

>>323239917
>>323239786
The tracking quality just isn't good enough, read the article from 2015, the cameras can't track close to the ground for example and that was just from a quick demo, so imagine what other problems it might have.

And that's not even factoring in the fact that IR cameras are more expensive than lighthouse stations.

>>323239934
Thanks to the DK2 reverse engineering and github code Oliver Kreylos published, we know a lot more about the actual Oculus DK2 tracking than we know about the Lighthouse devkit implementation. Oculus did not document emissions and driver interfaces, but their systems does not lend itself to 3rd party solutions due to the need to sync and ID the markers.
If you want to foster interoperability after the fact, documenting emissions and driver interfaces once the hardware is on the shelves is quite possibly going to fall short of facilitating/encouraging conformance when it mattered. In that case, you will have to count on having clear license to the IP.

>>323240326
>cameras on the same wall
Okay.

So I was thinking.

Anyone know the specifications of the Vive front-facing camera?

I'm assuming it uses IR?

We can scan models with those cameras. It's completely feasible to scan your dick while watching POV animu porn, import your dick and live animate to your movements and have the animu character react to it.


I'm a developer working on Intel RealSense tech, so yes it's possible; I promise.

>>323240329
Aaaand what does that have to do with room scale?

How is an R9 290 enough to run the Rift?

I have that card and it struggles to run Fallout 4 consistently at 60fps on max graphics.

For the rift to work it would need to run at fucking 95fps TWICE

>people saying oculus doesn't support room scale
>in reality you can just add more sensors and it just werks, making room scale experiences possible on rift
Vive will be better at it, but for a price
But don't go around saying oculus can't do it, its a lie

There's always an active thread in /t/. I've posted links in the last three. Check it out.

LOL. Good fucking luck with that unless he weighs 400lbs.

>>323240441
Cameras on opposite walls won't fix its vertical fov problem and if it really was better then why didn't they ever show a fully working room scale demo? That would stop Vive dead in its tracks.
The answer is obvious: the tracking quality for room-scale is not satisfactory.

>>323240819
>Rift's touch controllers will have better battery life

Do we know at all what the battery life is like? I haven't seen any reported info. It could be worse than the Vive, they aren't commenting on it.

>Wanting to actually stand up and walk around while playing VR

Vive also technically is less impressive since they said it has noticeable screendoor effect.

They did, it was called Toybox. They've been showing it off since Crescent Bay.

Do people really want to use all that stupid motion tracking bullshit?

I was just going to wear it on my face and use a mouse and keyboard, or a wheel if a racing game.

This is why I don't get it when people talk about lack of compatible games, it's a monitor strapped to your face so every game is compatible???

Why do you need IR cameras when you can do all the headmovement with accelerometers?

In fact IR cameras worry me. I have a TrackIR and honestly it's shit.

Vive fanboys are the new sonyggers

Literally everyone who's tried both say the rift is better

>>323216246
In theory, same can be said for VIVE.
Add two more lighthouses to each area you want to walk to.
Problem for me is that Im poor and dont have any rooms that are 15x15.
My room that I game in at most has 6x6ft so either headset would work.
But if my wife would let me set up lighthouses and my PC in the living room that might be a different story, but shes happy to keep me contained in the office/gaming room as it is.

>>323241593
Do you know what the lighthouse is?
It's literally a laser on a spinning motor, that's how ridiculously simple it is.

>>323241579
The PS Camera for example is $60 MSRP and has often dropped to $25. The RIft's camera doesn't even have depth sensing or dual cameras so it will be even cheaper.

>>323230095
This.

People seem to be forgetting that Valve has turned some of their most beloved games into toy capsule machines. People also seem to be forgetting that Valve tried to charge for mods. If you think they wont pull some money-grubbing shit with their VR platform, then I look forward to rubbing it in your face when they do.

>>323241607
You can't accurately track your position in 3D space simply with gyros and stuff.

>>323241579
DK2's tracking, for example, as low volume as it is compared to CV1, is an amazing feat- 0.05mm precision using a modified 480p webcam with an IR filter as the sensor.

But can they do porn?

>>323241607
>Why do you need IR cameras when you can do all the headmovement with accelerometers?

Doesn't work for positional tracking. You need 6 degrees of freedom. That only gives you three.

>>323237468
b-but pascal...dx12?...vulcan...

>>323241275
2 cameras means less occlusion. Let's say you place your hand in front of you and your back to the camera, the camera won't see your hand (in case of Touch for example). This is simplified, but ti's the idea of occlusion.

Additional cameras also means bigger tracking space, as you can orientate the cameras' field of view so that they see more of your room, allowing you to move more (should you want to).

No, it failed because it didn't have enough developer support.

>>323242392
It's an interesting piece of tech at best.

In terms of practicality, it's shit. No one has a huge amount of just empty space lying around.

If you have to constantly be reminded about shit in the space you play in and break your immersion and always have to backtrack or move around unnaturally to avoid obstacles, then you're not going to have fun regardless. You also will still have to move at a comfortable pace because the "by the way you're going to run into shit" warning will only happen so fast.

How "fine"? A dismissive tweet from a guy known to be an idiot that talks too much is not proof of anything.

The fact that they avoid showing off room scale already proves that it doesn't work well enough.

>>323242780
Both systems have the same output and controls, it's simply a matter of hooking up both SDKs properly with minimal changes at worst.

VR is a niche market so no developer will be stupid enough to only support one system if not absolutely necessary.

As for lists of compatible games Vive's is smaller because its dev kits are a lot more limited in quantity and it came out later.
When both systems are out expect a very similar list for both.
