Yup. Hell of a first time experience, though.
-
Have fun, guys. The Omni really is great.
-
Me too! I'll admit: I'm addicted. So, so, so immersive! I Feel like a complete badass!
-
@KellCam_Virtuix. I sent an email over the weekend about placement. Would greatly appreciate an estimate
-
@GreyAcumen. Yup, followed the directions on the back of the box to the t. There's a 16 lb extreme heavy duty version for anyone who's paranoid about it falling.
-
@CheezWiz. Each of those strips holds 5lb, I used two for added assurance because of the camera base bigger surface area. The camera and base weigh around 1/2 lb -- it should hold fine. One strip should be enough but the camera's so expensive I used…

Nice. Here's my work: Pretty, isn't she.
-
My deepest condolences to international members on this forum who have commented over the years. That being said, I'm sure there are alternative ways of getting the Omni... more expensive, though.

Jan has a personal twitter? Is there a link?

@xxann5. Sure, I agree content is everything. That what's great about PSVR--letting developers establish AAA games on console first before porting to higher end pc hardware. I'm willing to bet some of the exclusive games now will be ported after a …
-
No, because I prefer/need the versatility of PC-based VR. What I am jealous of is the comfort of the PSVR is better than Rift and Vive. The screens are hanging in front of your face and there's no pressure against your face. Sony's ergonomics histor…

@GreyAcumen. Many people have commented when they saw the Omni for the first time they were expecting the cost to be higher. I hate to say it, but even breaking the $1K mark would still be within the realm of expectation for some people. Obviously, …

That would be an airdrop. Air-delivery/air-transit was what I had in mind. This: Not this: (Although, I would prefer this to be honest. No parachute too )
-
AR camera add-on! That would be a surprise. Some people are more excited about AR than VR but IMO, why not combine the two and have the best of both worlds. Probably won't happen with gen 1 but still hoping.
-
This got me thinking about the Omni's modularity. Adding something to the Omni to make it more than a primarily walking experience. Still no hydrolic but it would be a different experience.
-
Damn strip club inflation--the prices are going up there too! Place your bets, boys. I say the pods, harness, rack, boom will go up to the stands' price of $99. The shoes stay the same because that's the average price of new shoes. The Omni package…

Here are agendas for each day and some of the games (no triple As, though ). http://uploadvr.com/oculus-connect-3-schedule/ http://uploadvr.com/38-announced-demos-oc3/

Congrats. You're right about delivery if you're in the first 1000. I actually was commenting about the total orders of Omnis and when everyone can expect to have it delivered to their homes. Too bad it's impossible for air delivery; it would cut the…
-
So much for my end of the year delivery prediction. First half of 2017 is more likely now. I can wait--I'll be messing around with VR in the mean time
-
Don't know too much about this company except seen that CG video a long, long time ago so I assume Virtuix worked with this company to design the Omni we know today. I personally like the design of the Omni today vs. the early prototype; it has a mu…
-
Minimum? Really? I'm pushing 2554 x 2020 max settings with the 1080 and only the shadow set to medium for performance. Frame-rate seems solid IMO.
-
Interesting perspective. I knew this would be highly debatable but that seems to be the norm with crowdfunding.
-
The waiting sucks. Period. But these are the hard numbers: -September: 258 units (5 containers) -October: 810 units (15 containers) -November (estimate): 1,500 units -December (estimate): 2,000 units But to be honest, at this point in the finaliza…
-
I never had a problem with the Pathfinder program because I just thought of it as a beta phase of development; albeit with actual hardware with minor imperfections. That's over and now we have final, consumer-ready hardware ready to go for everyone …
-
This is the hardest part believe it or not--seeing others in front of the line getting theirs first
-
There's even talks of lawsuits from members trying to get their money back. Looks like we made the right choice, boys; payday's coming in the next few months I do feel bad for those guys though. Hope they get at least a percentage of their money b…
-
@GreyAcumen. I was thinking about Virtuix-developed games when I wrote that. I'm also hoping the games will have graphics fidelity/scaling options as well; in those cases recommended/minimum specs would be useful. Then again, hearing their general r…
-
@KellCam_Virtuix. Has Virtuix decided on what's the minimum recommended PC spec (especially the gpu) for the Omni? I'm guessing it's similar to Oculus' and Vive's recommended spec but a confirmation would be nice going into the launch.
-
@xxann5. Coming from the 900 series don't expect to overclock as well as you did jumping to the 1000 series. Nvidia placed a whole bunch of restrictions on oc so most GPU can't past 2.1 GHz; unless you get lucky and win the silicon lottery. Maybe wi…
