They've shown up numerous times presenting this technology with an attempt to garner easy money. They already suckered in Australian government with a $2 million grant. They haven't really produced anything new and are just presenting the same polished demos without making efforts to tackle any of the issues inherent in such voxel-based engines.
I've found with my Note 3 with Otterbox case that I would either need to use the speaker function or have a bluetooth earpiece to call in a convenient manner. Putting the phone up to my ear is just embarrassing.
Of course, that's not what I got the Note 3 for, otherwise I would've stuck with my old dialpad phone. I got it for PDA functionality, for which it performs the task wonderfully.
Don't be deceived: it's a devious ploy to get you to snatch the knight for an easy kill, only to get baited into an ambush. I've been the victim of it once too many in Chessmaster.
The best thing about the game is their dedication to implement good Oculus Rift support, which is perfect for a game like this. Too many games haphazardly slap Rift support onto them and it becomes a mess trying to deal with menus designed for monitors being displayed on the Rift and other things that makes the Rift experience real poor. These devs, however, realize the obstacles with Rift support and are willing to put the extra effort into making it worthwhile.
I recommend you read more on it than just a single ad from someone. Glassdoor.com has some reviews from it. From that and other sources I've found that there's some heavy cronyism that takes place there. So unless you wanna relocate to Iceland for the job...
What I'm interested in is whether this will expedite getting a consumer version out due to increased staffing for R&D and production, or delay it further by increasing features to be implemented into the final product. TBH, I'd be happy either way.
That's what I recall they covered in the SXSW Panel Discussion, that certain genres like adventure and exploration games are going to greatly benefit from the Rift.
Are you talking about the VorpX/VireIO drivers for games that don't officially support Rift? If so, I can understand why that would be a problem, since the drivers are still being worked on and are not fleshed out entirely. I hear that VireIO is the worst of the two but that's only because it's also the earliest and rudimentary.
Btw, what computer are you using to render the games? I know framerate is a factor in it all.
One last thing is that Palmer did mention in a panel discussion at SXSW that he's interested in looking at things like inner ear stimulation methods to emulate motion and position. Though he's also aware that's just one of many ways to approach the same problem, and that he's willing to experiment in anything as long as it means getting something feasible for a consumer product.
The dev kit version already has latency tackled very well, so it's not really much of an issue. The HD prototype even further reduced it as well as adding the high res and removal of the screen door effect of the dev kit versions (due to low res display) that would exacerbate the issue.
Though understand that a lot of the motion sickness comes from the sudden, jarring and quick motions that are common with games nowadays. Games and demos being developed for the Rift are being designed with slower movement in mind to alleviate strain that the eyes may have. It really comes down not so much to the Rift itself but the developers and how they decide to design their games. Rift would work a whole lot better with Halo than it would Unreal Tournament.

Fraudulent.

Annnnnnnnd it's gone.
Is that the W3W tag for their building?
Well, I did see that they shook hands over the agreement.
Nautical drifting?
You really need to ask this question? Or you just playing stewpit?
Honestly! Redundant questions like that really get me steamed up.

Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING.

Hobbes: If nobody makes you do it, it counts as fun.
Just wait until Oculus Rift comes out, as it'll render theaters completely obsolete.
That's because he's the DM.
The article doesn't mention it, but this is actually why he is in prison.
If that really were the case, Slashdot members would have a lot more prison stories to tell.

I'd like to try this out on southerners. You think showing them a picture of a fridge rusting out in someone's backyard will work?
