so my DK2 is finally here in all of its glory and I know I've covered this thing
to death from different events and even my Oculus overview video from back in
the day if you want to learn things about like low persistence and stuff check that video out if you want to see
what lius Media Group as a whole thinks and a special guest what he thinks as
well carry on in this video we'll see all of their footage and then I'll talk
to you guys more about the finer details of it later on
The Flash Voyager GTX usb3 drive from Corsair provides SSD like performance
and fits comfortably in your pocket click now to learn more yay oh this
makes me happy why does it look like the inside of a vagina W that would
remembers he's the chosen one
who that's pretty
cool I was behind the headrest for a minute oh this me up I feel like I can
touch stuff except that I can't except that there is something here but that's
the desk not like the fence it is it is
actually visually distressing looking down a cliff though like
you there's a real sense of of depth
down there a man this this thumb stick versus head movement yeah is really I
really feel like it you don't think that it should be you just head and then left
thumb stick yeah it's definitely weird to have a controller but then be able to
just turn turn your head and see all
this stuff mhm look at all this stuff around me I'm in a world leaning too far
back oh okay okay I don't think there's any
here I'll take the controller okay here we go all right it's jittering of whoa
yeah I noticed the same
thing wow oh it's terrible terrible let
me know if you want out yeah out there we go terrible who in their right mind wants
to do that yeah this is great I love it who no
seriously does anyone enjoy that last one you just gave me I do I might not be
come on you do not you actually enjoy it I like that one yeah Brandon Brandon
wanted sustain at the most so he's the craziest out of all man do it being a
pentile matrix display instead of a square grid display the screen door
effect isn't nearly as noticeable um you can still see the pixels obviously but
not nearly as much as on the dk1 and
obviously the resolution jumped helped as well but we're still going to need
higher resolutions 4K I'm looking at you
the low persistence is great but its refresh rate could be a little bit
higher we're currently at 75 could do with maybe about 90 and one thing that
we noticed is that frame rate in games needs to be high and it needs to be
consistently High lowf frame rate dips even will really really jar you out of
the game and it's very UNS settling actually games also need to be made for
the rift in mind especially the rift in mind they need to be high quality most
of what we have right now is more Tech demos than anything but something to
remember is that we're using a development kit so that kind of makes
sense another thing that could help is more range on the motion tracking camera
or possibly an array of cameras it's quite easy to get out of the tracking
Zone even in a seated experience which is what it's supposed to be targeted for
also we need more made for VR controllers something like the on the
lines of the control VR would really help because having your hands stuck in
position while your hands are actually moving in real life really disconnects
and breaks the immersion that being said the USB 2.0 Hub on the top of the DK2
does kind of help with that because if you want to ghetto Mount say AAP motion
onto the top of your unit it is possible and that's pretty cool that they're
trying to cater to that type of user due to the new more compact form factor it
actually feels considerably lighter due to less leverage but it still could feel
lighter it's still a little bit heavy on the front of your face considering it is
hanging off of the front of your face also the new cabling system is quite
fantastic and much more easy to deal with than the dk1 but it would be really
nice if you didn't need the cables although I'm not really looking for that
anytime soon I don't expect that to be on cv1 I don't even expect that to be on
like cv3 so I'm not too worried about that speaking of cabling the cable box
that goes in between your Oculus unit and your computer has gotten much more
elegant it used to be this fairly large little bit clunky box that you had to
kind of have a dedicated spot for and now it's an inline module that can just
hang anywhere and it's not really that big of a deal huge Improvement again
speaking of cables they're quite long but maybe not long enough for everyone
but that's actually fine because even with the direct Rift functionality
you'll be able to use extensions as it won't be seen as a different device with
an extension so you can just extend USB 2.0 in HDMI which is quite common and
you'll be fine speaking of direct Rift holy crap this thing's awesome you don't
have to extend your screen anymore and you don't have to have any weird manual
adapter targeting settings on shortcuts for any of your executables it just kind
of works you run an executable that says direct to Rift and it goes to the rift
which will be sitting on your desk in a sleep mode before it's activated and
then once you run that executable it will wake up it will go to the rift
screen and everything will work that is as long as you're not running it through
like an HDMI splitter which shows up as as a different device or something like
a a media capture card which will actually show up as an a media capture
card the computer needs to be able to see that the HDMI plugged in is an
Oculus so I don't know if I would necessarily recommend a DK2 to anyone
right now but I obviously thought it wasn't a terrible idea as I personally
purchased it for myself so what do you guys think let me know in the Forum let
me know in the comments down below would you be interested in buying one right now and speaking of saving money by not
buying a DK2 who wouldn't want to save money on their new phone plan today's

their mobile service their whole thing is they want customers to have the
benefits of a small mobile carrier like personalized customer service where you
