[QUOTE=Orkel;48859833]Blurriness is caused by a few things: 1) The dude didn't clean the lenses. Or you touched your forehead with the lenses before dropping them on your eyes, causing skin grease to mess it up 2) It's simply low resolution and has a screendoor effect. Which has been greatly improved in CV1. 3) The IPD not being set properly, this is the case if it was a public demo (they use the average IPD)[/QUOTE] He cleaned the lenses and yes it was a public demo so I guess it was the IPD setting. But even then it was awesome and I can't wait to get my hands on a properly adjusted and consumer ready VR device :hypeisreal:

[QUOTE=EcksDee;48856039]Fairly sure it is.[/QUOTE] thinking with the gamepad, if one could hack it into a mouse with the track pad as the left mouse button as a wacom tablet alternative.
Wonder how that HTC conference is coming along. They were planning it for this month, but no update what's up. Also Chet wrote a post on the SteamVR group: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/games/250820/announcements/detail/99435295439301607[/url]. He says they'll have new content announcements later this month before PGW, maybe that will be it.

[QUOTE=EliteGuy;48861486]My bet is on the HTC mobile event, it's a major event prior to PGW[/QUOTE] October 20th (8 days before Paris Game Week starts), for those not aware. It's a dubbed by tech media as the HTC A9 Launch event but I'm definitely hoping for some Vive content as well seeing HTC is advertising it as a [i]"virtual event"[/i].
Virtual event, as in it will be livestreamed only. This is what some of the press are saying and I'm going to believe them for now, otherwise they would have speculated that "virtual event, ....oh VR then".

This is not your traditional smartphone so we aren’t hosting a traditional launch event. We will be unveiling the smartphone via a virtual event held at [url]http://www.htc.com/launch[/url] at noon ET.[/quote] The heavy emphasis on "virtual" might mean that the phone has something to do with VR, which would not be that surprising as there's already a bunch of hints that point toward this. Also seeing as we were promised Vive announcements in October.
We'll see. It's not like I'd mind. Also, Chet will host a panel at Dutch VR Days: [url]https://twitter.com/chetfaliszek/status/652530650763755520[/url]

[editline]10th October 2015[/editline] EVE: Valkyrie pre-alpha testing signups are live: [url]https://account.evevalkyrie.com/[/url] They ask for your Oculus DK2 serial number. You can get this from the diagnostic log in the Oculus Configuration Utility (Tools -> Advanced), if you have your Rift connected.

I want those damn Touch controllers.
I think if vive had controllers like the Touch, it'd be an easy pick between the two for me. Is there going to be some sort of a redesign for the vive controllers?
[QUOTE=Str4fe;48895571]I think if vive had controllers like the Touch, it'd be an easy pick between the two for me. Is there going to be some sort of a redesign for the vive controllers?[/QUOTE] I've heard the giant things at the top of those controllers are at least going to chance.
They're gonna be disks and they're gonna be the diameter of the main wand afaik don't quote me I don't even remember my source
[QUOTE=Str4fe;48895571]I think if vive had controllers like the Touch, it'd be an easy pick between the two for me.

HTC decided that if you look kind of silly when you use VR, you might as well go all the way and look completely ridiculous.

[QUOTE=Orkel;48896927][hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbYP4bhKr2M[/hd][/QUOTE] This looks like so much fun. I'm really torn over whether I'd enjoy the rift or vive's peripherals and setup more.
[QUOTE=Elspin;48896994]This looks like so much fun. I'm really torn over whether I'd enjoy the rift or vive's peripherals and setup more.[/QUOTE] You can actually feel the competition. With every Vive video I want the Vive more, with every Oculus one I want a rift :v: .

If they do announce all the details for the HTC Vive next week at the HTC event, do you think they will have pre-orders?
