Oculus Rift - Will Aces High Support This?

[guncrasher]

AH has a lot of button and or key inputs.  Do these things have a way to see things like the Cougar MDF and the keyboard?

you cannot even see your own hands.

If HTC decides to support these I absolutely plan on getting a set.  Being able to  sit in the virtual cockpit sounds like it will be a lot of fun.

hell ya

I think it would be sick...add that to a "Dream Flyer"....

[Fulcrum]

Oculus would be outrageous added to a motion chair like the Dreamflyer.  I'd probably barf playing AH!

This would be comical in its own way...tho' I doubt the wife would see it as such.

Dreamflyer would screw with the head tracking.

Just a note DayZ is insane on the Rift    Zombies + VR =

That is a problem, I hope there is a way to disable Occulus native tracking to use a reference point tracker like TrackIR or it will be useless for any sort of vehicle motion simulator.

Sixense trackers appear to have a base station that provides relative tracking:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxSZ0fk_ubA

Can't watch the vid right now but it will be necessay to mount the reference point on the motion platform so it tracks head position and not platform position

Pretty sure the Oculus is inertial.  Kind of hard to move the reference point.

Exactly, that is why you would need to be able to disable it in favor of trackIR or something similar and mount your sensor in the simulator so it would move with the platform along with you and only respond to head movement.

Ugh...  Profuse apologies for not reading the whole thread.  Misunderstood what your post was saying.  Yeah, hopefully it'll be optional.

I've never hooked up multiple tracking sensors to a PC before.  I've also never seen an option in any game ever to choose which head tracking device to use...  Sounds like the time may come where that will need to be there.

Is it  just track Ir nearer your eyes?

sit inside a tube of flexible screen when its properly developed in 5 years time.

Its a gadget so it must be good, I need one

there is a lot of software out there that will feed sensors into a compatible output (ie freetrack or trackir emulation).

Most of the time I use OpenTrack, there are other options such as OpenPIE and GlovePIE.

DirectInput also supports such devices, so if the game supports trackers via DirectInput you're also good.

Sounds configuration intensive.  Now that I think about it, I assume the head tracker for the oculus must have a USB connection.  Could probably just leave that unplugged and use whatever other device you saw fit.

Install Opentrack, click on rift as source, TrackIR as output, click start.
