Is the Dev Oculas Rift worth purchasing?
I heard that my animation course may be getting a Dev Kit for the Oculus rift since a part of the course is 3D animations and Game design is in UDK.

Only if you have more money than sense - the consumer version is going to be better in every way.
Unless you're a developer, of course.

the general rule of thumb is, if you have to ask - it isn't
Anybody have any suggestions of something I could do with the rift for a final year project in Computer Science. Maybe something with Kinect?

Laptop in backpack. Kinect sensor in hand. Rift shows you the 3d point data. Would be like a weird flashlight in a pitch black world.
Hmm, although you'd need some way of tracking the positions of the rift and kinect I guess. Might be more of an engineering project, really.

There is no difference between light from a torch and light from the lighting in your room, the intensity is the variable.

I have this thing on my phone that can adjust the brightness of the screen whenever I want. if im in a dark room I turn it way down because I dont need the full INTENSITY of light the screen can provide.
I didnt know you were a physicist btw.
You talking from an ignorant standpoint
[editline]14th October 2013[/editline]
Plus you dont need to know anything to know that this will be safe to use. It is a commercially sold device. if it was able to blind you with scary scary beams of radiation then thy would get sued up all their collective asses.

seriously mate, everyone is taking the sarcastic piss out of you because you're talking as if you don't know basic concepts that would otherwise be considered common sense
if you didn't let any light near your eyes, you'd never see anything
you're staring at a light source right now; your screen
the light your screen gives off is not at all different from the light the screen in the rift, or the lenseless prototype thing gives off
"It's a bad thing because it's shining a bright focused light in one spot on your retina."
who says its 'bright' (it wouldn't need to be bright at all) or that its focused onto a single spot of your retina like some kind of laser? it uses optics to focus the light such that you can actually see an image
you must avoid glasses, binoculars, microscopes, telescopes, magnifying glasses and camera viewfinders like the plague then (hint: the rift, that other prototype, phone screens, desktop monitors and so on are even safer because they generate all the light they give off themselves; they're ridiculously well within safe limits and can't suddenly look up at the sun or anything)
you're comparing a device with a screen (or screens) designed to display images
to a device designed to put out as much brightness as it can to help illuminate dark areas like rooms or outside at night

putting light into your eyes is literally how you see, light bounces off everything and goes into your eye
it's not at all dangerous
[url]http://www.nokiapoweruser.com/device-specs-and-buying-guide/lumia-1520/[/url]
So the upcoming 1520 is sporting a 1080 OLED screen
Im willing to bet that the OR will be using OLED at this point. it just makes too much sense to do so. Super fast respnse time, perfect blacks, super thin screen, etc. The only limiting factor of oled has been resolution and cost but now thats not so much.
Still doibt that we will get oled monitors anytime soon, since apparent the cost of doing a shadow mask for oled gets astronomically high the bigger you get on the screen. But if i can get a 1080p oled rift, who cares?!

Just a question to anybody who knows.
Can you use the Kinect to gauge when a player is moving?
For example, I would like to use the Unity engine, and Oculus, and have the Kinect check if the player is moving on the spot, and if they are, move them forward in the game.
I wanted to do something like a jogging simulator for my final year project but I can't find anything about the Kinect and movement

Latency is too high.
well if it's just a simple jogging simulator then latency doesnt matter that much does it? You'll mostly be doing a simple and monotonous activity wont you
I really don't know what to do. Doing something with the Rift for a final year project, the supervisor said I should implement another device to make sure I do really well. I thought Kinect would be good but I just can't think of something to do.
Maybe I could use the Kinect to make a game where you have to move the world with the controller. So say there is a hole in the ground, and you need to jump over it, you jump via the Kinect, and move with world with the controller to cross the gap, but I really don't know.
Any ideas?

1:1 climbing simulator with that hand thing.
That could be neat. I think I'll be using the Hydra as it seems like the most supported device with the Rift.
Supervisor said he will buy it with research money so its all good
Is there any indication when the Hydra will be back in stock?
