I wonder what their approach is going to be.
Are they going to follow valve and have an interface use two controllers you grip like a wiimote? Are they going to have some fancy glove you can wear and articulate each finger's movement?
I gotta say I'm really curious. To me, user input takes third place place on the podium, with pixel density as first priority and field of view in second.

Gloves would be great but that sounds expensive to do properly. Also, gripping objects would be weird because you would just squeeze throught the object.
Im gonna guess they have something like wiimotes/hydras
Google showed some new tech from their labs. Project Soli, finger tracking using radar, looks quite neat:

(picked the version with subtitles because it's infinitely better)
Anyone have an experience with the Google Cardboard? It seems kinda neat and for 15 bucks, so I figured why the heck not. Worst case scenario I can cannibalize the lenses and 3D print a cooler version myself.
My main worry is that my phone (a galaxy S4) might not really be good enough for the job, has anyone had good luck/horror stories with any particular type of phone?

Ive used it on a nexus phone, 5'7 inch screen or something, was great, also worked pretty well on my x1 compact, (not so well on my cardboard but pretty great with an adjustable plastic "cardboard") It's definately worth it.

The s4 should work fine. Some of the more advanced demos might lag a little, but it'll probably be alright.
Plus, the cardboard is hella worth it just for the fact that in the most recent update they added an official VR cinema app for it, and YouTube will be getting support for it soon. Perfect for laying in bed and watching shows on it, in my experience, even if the file support is a little strange (detects some mkvs and not others)

Ordering a Cardboard now. Which company's worth buying from if I've got an iPhone 6?

I have the unofficial cardboard and like it a lot.

alright cool so Im not the only person that had this exact thing in mind :v:
[editline]2nd June 2015[/editline]
though I could have sworn that I saw a demo somewhere a while back where it had youtube support, did they take that away or something?

It had basic YT support that wasn't very good in the dedicated cardboard app. They removed that and are planning on building cardboard support directly into the yt app (according to IO 2015)

I wish they would actually get on with releasing their narrative experiences already

I finished assembling my Google Cardboard about and hour ago and Ive just been playing this the entire time:

Playing it in the dark (so you dont get bleed in) with a good pair of headphones is just absolutely amazing
pretty sure I have PTSD from the Stuka dive sirens :v:

Hand-tracking?

As someone on the subreddit said, could also be just trying to reach out to touch stuff in the virtual world. Not unlikely.

it's extremely common for first-timers in the rift to be pointing and otherwise motioning around with their hands to explain what they're doing/looking at
Anyone have favorite youtubers for Oculus content?
Anyone with a Cardboard who doesnt already own [url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dejobaangames.caaaaardboard]Caaaaardboard![/url] should absolutely buy it. Its probably my favorite Cardboard app so far.
Bear in mind that you might need a fairly strong stomach to play it for extended periods. Ive been playing for about an hour and I feel pretty dizzy, and it takes a hell of a lot to get me motion sick. :v:

Theres his hyper-active Irish guy named Jacksepticeye that's done some Oculus stuff including Mirrors edge, rollercoasters, windlands, and a bunch of other stuff.

Having a cardboard and an IOS device sucks guys, you don't get cool games like this. :c

Anyone be forewarned, he falls under the Markiplier and Pewdiepie kinda let's players. So if that ain't your cup of tea, steer clear.
That was implied with hyperactive.
There's also Ksic but he's a pewdiepie wannabe. Is subbed to him and everything, and has the same incredibly annoying style, copying pewdiepie in various areas.

Zimtok is a really chill guy for DK2 stuff, not sure if he has a youtube but you can find his twitch streams here: [url]http://www.twitch.tv/zimtok5[/url]
