If you have seen any interesting VR videos around, please post them up. I sometimes see stuff that's been around for ages but I didn't know about so wanted to have a place where people could post up interesting videos on VR progress.

(To embed youtube videos use: [ youtube ] Video link [ / youtube]

Here's a few from me:

Mod Box (A little like Garry's Mod in VR):

FSX with Leap Motion:

Project Cars:

Archery (Just looks like fun. )

Holoportation: virtual 3D teleportation in real-time (Microsoft Research):

Valve Intro for the Vive:

Developer playing around with weapons:

How bad does pcars look on the rift? Its trwlly the only reason I'm keeping my rift tbh.

Is it low res and low texture?

I ran it on my DK2 and thought it was excellent. Shadows got funky with certain settings but there's been a big update I haven't tried (I'm hoping it's nearer what they show in their new video, but I guess we'll have to wait to see the truth). I'd imagine with the CV1 and update it'll be awesome and the DK2 will benefit from it too. The only slight drawback of the DK2 is seeing the track in the distance as corners come up, it's not a big thing at all but the resolution is juuuuust a tiny bit low res to be perfect. Same goes for AC to though.

Personally I preferred Assetto Corsa, I thought the driving model and graphics were better overall although the rain effects in PCars is really cool.

Here's me trying out AC on the DK2 (I have a G27 now, that Microsoft wheel was quite something!):

Would this be the thread for me to show off Dreams VR? Not sure if there are many videos that directly show off that environment in VR but it should be something damn interesting...

Absolutely, post up some videos on it. I did a quick YouTube search and it does look cool.

Just to update my last post. Errr sorta a retraction haha . that youtube video actually is the CV1 playing Project Cars (its posted by the developers of the game and why would they post a monitor display version when announcing it for the CV1?) and **** me it looks fabulous! In the DK2 you do not get that level of clarity/crispness/resolution. So i am pretty stoked to play this in the CV1!

my bad!

My bad on Assetto Corsa too, seems they're not supporting VR for a while. One of the devs tweeted last night saying that it's on the list of things to do. Big shame as when it was running on the DK2 it was one of my favourite experiences.
