LibreVR has just released a beta version of the ReVive injector for Oculus Touch

There are a couple of apps on the Oculus store that can be used to test this.

He has segmented off the touchpads of Vive wands into virtual buttons and thumbsticks

Cool, stick that in your pipe and smoke it Oculus.

15ms is what i saw on reddit earlier too. It sounds like quite a lot tbh, but let's see how reviews pan out.

TP cast are stating less than 2ms... Believe it or not :eek:

Time will tell!

You think we might see Vive v2 by summer next year? I'm hoping for a much higher resolution and screen

I'd be happy if they just up the pixel density of the screens to reduce the SDE and leave the actual rendering resolution the same.

Not a chance. What you may see is an updated version of the current release with improved ergonomics, head strap etc.

If they keep punting out high end units it won't help PC VR at all.

They need to lower the cost to bring in the masses. Wether it's lower manufacturing costs or a lower spec HMD.

There's a vive refresh in the pipeline with a massively reduced component count they say will lower the price.

Heads up; Google Earth VR now available through steam. Quite impressive.

Vive exclusive too :eek:

edit:CrossVR has now removed the hardware check

Just popped on /r/oculus to see about this and by god there are right mentalists on that subreddit, worse than the graphics forums here

Fan boys be fan boys... People have to defend their purchase. Known psychology

It's a bit strange that Google forced a check on the hardware rather than just allow any SteamVR-compatible device to work (although given the hodgepodge of VR peripherals out there that may or may not work properly, perhaps understandable to protect the end-user experience).

Ah well, I'm not complaining - can't wait to try this out tonight!

just tried google earth and it's fantastic, was only expecting a few featured places but works everywhere *not checked the entire globe yet

ArmitageShanks · 18 Nov 2016 at 15:27

Google Earth VR is very nice indeed! Bit disappointed with some of the models (especially some of the buildings), but overall impressed.

Anyone tried out the async reprojection in the latest SteamVR yet?

Gave it a go last night and I have to say I think it makes the experience worse (jerky animation, slowdowns and lag). Will need to do some more comparative testing.

Do you have both allow asynchronous reprojection and allow interleaved reprojection on in the settings? If so turn off interleaved reprojection.

Just AR enabled (interleaved reprojection is the old method). Will tinker with it again later today.

Great news for VR as a whole. The TPCAST looks to be genuine and actually provides a good wireless VR solution:

How are the touch controllers compared to rift?

redkrptonite · 29 Dec 2016 at 19:29

Hello. I wondered if anyone could help me. I'm having really bad tracking issues with my vive. If the headsets not losing tracking the controllers do. I've uninstalled software and drivers multiple times. It only ever seems to work on first set up when I install the software. As soon as I restart my pc I get the issues. Just wondering if it's the USB ports on my motherboard I've tried all of them. My motherboards an ASUS RVE 10. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Turn the camera off. And read through this thread for other ideas.
