hey guys I know you all expected an Oculus video from me at E3 2014 but what

6
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:25,599
I didn't expect and what I don't think you expected was an interview with Palmer luckily I was able to catch him

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:30,320
for an interview and I hope you guys check that out all right guys we're here at the Oculus Booth with Palmer which is

8
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:35,600
fantastic thank you for taking time on your day to have this interview and I wanted to ask you a question we we see

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,039
certain games all the time going oh 30 FPS is fine we're on the Xbox 30 FPS is

10
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:43,920
fine and then we see on the VR side Oculus and everybody else is thumping in

11
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:47,760
the complete opposite direction so what are your thoughts on refresh rate

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,680
monitors and F High FPS games for virtual reality you need much higher

13
00:00:49,199 --> 00:00:56,000
frame rate than you need on a typical screen 60 FPS definitely is enough you

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,160
see huge improvements up to 90 or 120

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,519
hertz and even beyond that you can see small improvements um so VR is going to

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:08,280
need much higher frame rates than consoles although I even for consoles or

17
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:13,159
or or normal P traditional PC games I don't think 30 FPS is is smart I don't

18
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,520
it's not a good artist artistic decision it's a failure that's a that's an

19
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,840
amazing quote I love that now in terms of virtual reality where do you see like

20
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,799
far in the future where do you see refresh rate going what what's kind of

21
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:31,200
the the limit of improvement I think that you see diminishing returns between

22
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:33,200
90 and 120 Herz so I think that in the

23
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:37,439
in the foreseeable future VR is going to end up somewhere in that range right

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,560
okay now in terms of interacting with virtual reality I know the first thing

25
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:44,320
everyone does when they put a headset on is try to see their fingers now we we've

26
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:50,040
seen stuff here like control VR what are your thoughts on on like body tracking

27
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:53,680
motion tracking and uh haptic feedback I think that there's a lot of interesting

28
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:56,880
R&D being done in public and in private and the best Solutions are not

29
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:02,439
necessarily yet announced so there's a lot of stuff in the pipe that's going to be pretty amazing because R isn't just

30
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:06,159
about what you're seeing it is about being able to interact with the world in

31
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:10,119
a natural way that's as natural as looking around it with the headset for

32
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:14,200
sure and then another thing is I know you guys have been playing around with

33
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:17,200
Android STK for Oculus and there's going to have to be a vast difference in the

34
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,599
experience between what happens on Android and PC what kind of stuff do you

35
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:25,959
expect to come into the Android in I think you're going to see things like uh

36
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:30,440
panoramic photo capture you're going to see virtual movie theaters and a lot of

37
00:02:28,519 --> 00:02:33,160
more simple communication and gaming experiences then you're going to see on

38
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,800
PC or you're going to be able to really crank up the graphics and do some cool

39
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:41,040
stuff like alien isolation that's just not going to happen on a mobile device

40
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,959
so if you ordered a DK2 early on your order will still be shipping in July if

41
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:49,040
you ordered your DK2 after the August shipping announcement your shipping is

42
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,360
still on track and if you buy one now you should be getting one in August as

43
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,599
well arus is still flexing their strength with the Facebook acquisition

44
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:59,599
they have hired even more people they recently hired on a co-founder of

45
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:02,599
naughty dog every single time they hire someone I'm just like holy crap you

46
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:06,200
could run your own company and you're being hired by Oculus extremely

47
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:10,120
impressive I'm extremely excited to see what Oculus has to show us in the future

48
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,840
I know Palmer was kind of hinting on a few things both on the game side and on

49
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,959
the interaction side so I'm extremely excited to see what that is and I hope we see some of that in the future thank

50
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,760
