Available for anyone who wants to try the Oculus Rift

Chaoss · 31 Jul 2013 at 06:51

I have had my Oculus Rift development kit for a while now and really been enjoying it, but I know that I'd have killed to get a demo of it before receiving it. So if anyone wants to demo it I invite them to come over and try it for themselves, live in the Islington area in London just PM me for more info

The Oculus Looks awesome, I have heard some awesome stuff about them. Would love to demo it but being all the way down in south west would never have time! Haha.

From someone who was skeptical about it I can tell you it's REALLY awesome.

I tried playing Half Life 2 on it, and the characters were PEOPLE sized, rather than just looking at an image on a screen I felt they were actually there in front of me. Although when they talk to me as if there having a conversation with me without me saying anything is quite strange. Also being completely ignored by some of the characters/NPC's does trigger an emotional response. That should give you a small idea of what it's like.

No but there will be Vodka

Hmm this is tempting. Quite busy at the moment and will require some travel to get there. Will update if I can get a few hours out to stop by. Do you prefer weekdays or weekends?

Turn up to a strangers house and basically be blindfolded, no thanks Jeff. Should I bring some handcuffs too?

Ryan-3 · 31 Jul 2013 at 15:32

I would if I was closer.

But Suarez7's idea does worry

Joking aside...No actually it went through my head too.

lol A: I'm way to skinny and weak and B: I live in a shared house heh. Funny thought though

edit: the only dungeon your likely to see here is a virtual one inside the Rift

Suarez7 · 1 Aug 2013 at 13:08

My joking aside, it's a very nice gesture from you and if I lived darn souf I would probably have a test as it looks interesting.

Hi Chaoss,

I'm looking for a demo of the Oculus Rift in London, if the offer still stands. I'm hugely interested in the Oculus Rift and nearly backed the Kickstarter myself and would been keen to try it out.

I'll drop you a PM with my details.

... I'm new, how does one do that exactly?
