DK2 vs. Mobile VR

Hello there,
in short:
- obviously FOV is much greater, sadly this means motion sickness deluxe for me (max 5 mins inside the rift for me at the moment, outside of racing sims)
- resolution is a lot smaller (as FOV is greater)
- tracking is awesome
- in many demos you can see the pixels very strongly
- I hate that you can just switch between to eye sight strengths
- but you can use it with smallish glasses
- it gets very hot in there
- the feeling of presence is really great
- setup is really easy
You gonna love it and you gonna hate it!

I have a GTX 760 and a i5 (4 real cores) overclocked to 3.8 GHz, that is enough for all the unity demos and hl2 at 75+ fps
also assetto corsa will be OK, and LFS also
BUT I am using a 3d monitor for a year now and I don't know too many recent games where I get this kind of frames with 3d enabled
usually I get around 30 fps at highest settings (that is 1920x1080x30x2 for stereo, I do not know what the actual RIFT rendering resolution is in the end)
Maybe in some games it is OK, if you disable AA and or HBAO and stuff like that
Skyrim without mods should be doable, with mods and 3d, for me it will be impossible to have 75+ fps
time will tell though, what fps are necessary in the Rift DK2, as most games obviously are not supporting it at the moment
---------------
TLDR: make you PC as fast as you can afford at the linear price to value scale (so where price to value is not insane)
I'd go for a i5 - k model (for overclocking) and a 780gtx or r290x or something like that

Just looking up prices for a GTX 780 and that just ain't happening. 770 is probably as high as I will go. I don't need to play games on the highest settings, I don't even have any games and I don't know if I will be able to figure out Vorpx and Tri def anyway. I'm mostly just going to be playing Demos and trying to learn to make my own in Unity. From what I understand playing the demos that are out there is far less taxing than converting these high end games.

Yep, you are totally right. As I said my rig is plenty good for the unity demos.
I have not tried the UE4 ones I have to admit.
this thread could probably point in the right direction for you: https://developer.oculusvr.com/forums/v ... 26&t=12838

Hi all
my first post here.
In a nutshell all you have to do is replace the Oculus stuff with Stefans. Have the Android SDK and Java SDK installed and working as described in the Video.
But that is where the fun starts. As the mobile platform is a much less forgiving space.
Textures:
With Android there are at least 5 different chip sets and there are some exceptions which simply do not "like" certain textures that are fine in every other situation.
Dift:
Reading through the forums there are some issues with drift mainly again because the target chip sets are varied. Looks like thats fixed now.
Menus and controls:
Control systems need to be thought about as do GUIs.
Polygons/Size/Detail:
The amount of detail that the mobile platforms afford is much less than a dedicated PC with a monster graphics card
If your initial piece of work is quite straight forward, does not use monster textures or rely on button bashing then it "should" be straight forward.
Hope this helps and let me know if you get stuck.
Cheers
unclebob
