> "you now connect the headset to your computer using a single cable that includes an HDMI and USB connection" My computer only has a mini-displayport port. Does anybody know if a minidp->hdmi adapter would be suitable for this HDMI/USB pairing?
Fresh new Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 FAQ is here: https://support.oculusvr.com/hc/en-us/articles/201835987 Here's an excerpt: Q: What is the Oculus Rift Development Kit 2, its features, and what does it come with? A: The Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 (DK2) is a development kit meant for developers that want to create virtual reality content for the upcoming consumer version of the Oculus Rift.

Apparently it supports the "Linux 12.04 LTS operating system"!
Does the latest versions make people sick after prolonged use? How similar does it feel to looking at real far away objects? Is it easy to tell it's not 3D and the screen is flat? If I tied a passed out "friend" up and put on the Oculus Rift glasses and played a movie of them being thrown out of a helicopter from 1st person, would they be able to tell that it was fake or is there a perceived feeling of it being real?
The motion sickness feeling is not due to the product itself but the mixed sensory perception by the brain when different senses present contradictory signals: e.g. visual movement perceived by the eyes vs lack of movement by the ears. Therefore, a newer product version is unlikely to address this. Regarding your helicopter question, if you're tied and blind-folded and somebody moves you around, would you be able to…

Earlier quoted context omitted.
I got the chance to play with it a few weeks ago, along with several others in our office. 1) It didn't make any of us sick, but I could see how it still would for users, particular if they didn't try to move their body in roughly the same direction as they would if it was IRL. If you have ever sat in a vehicle and watched the outside via a mirror - it's like that. 2) For me, while it was immersive (we had several us…
I would love a virtual programming environment. If they (eventually) get the resolution high enough, you could use it to replace all of your external monitors, and be able to use your full desktop environment anywhere.
