Got my Oculus Rift retail headset yesterday and I fired up CLAZER VR shotgun shooting. Works like a charm. Some initial impressions:
Pros
Resolution is better and the picture is much brighter than the developer’s kit headset
Less of the “screen door” masking effect, but some residual
3D effect is much more pronounced – the topography in the scenes, the shape of the trees, etc. is much more pronounced
Ergonomics good but see Cons below re material used
Latest OR software build appears excellent re FPS, etc.
No motion sickness (Always a good thing !)
Unit turns on when placed on head
Cons
It’s expensive, and since it does not ship with a gun controller, it’s not that much better than a Samsung VR !
Hard plastic head-straps look great ! Feel awful !
Unit turns off when removed
Buzz Killer: No gun controller ! Which is why were a building a full scale controller holder for the HTC gun-like controller
HTC Vive gun controller. Yes, it will have a trigger. . . .
