I love it

This is a clip of a reviewer testing out the Rift for the first time, and he also interviews the oculus rift inventor palmer Luckey

Taught you guys should check this out, impressive what developers are coming up with already for the Oculus VR

This is an interesting concept that works and imagine the possibilities, a demonstration of this in action follows in the next video link

And what better than to watch the reaction of a 90yr old woman taking a trail of the built in demo.

Considering the price of the developers kid it is quite low, you can ha e your developers kit for $300, which is very low considering I payed nearly €600 on a early VR headset a couple of yrs bk that I felt like smashing with a hammer on many occasions, I know it's crazy but iv being a VR fanatic since the lawnmore man movie all those yrs ago

That was meant to say fbx converter

Yeah I did that for a while but I drew the security on myself twice, it was funny at first but the more it happened the more annoying it became, so I just joined the smokers, lol

I'm sure they are, I believe NASA are also testing out the oculus also as it's better than what they developed for their own needs, oculus rift seems to be taking the lead very quickly, and I'm sure once the consumer version that follows will be second to non, Im guessing we will all have at least 1 of these in our homes by next yr

I found myself in a nite club Saturday wk, and in a packed smoking area I was getting some odd looks, but I was approached on many occasion with queries on the matter, I think I convinced them, I'm wondering now if I go bk to the same club will there be a vapouring area, lol

And saying that iv converted many in my work already, most of the soldiers in my barracks vapour now instead is smoking, I feel like I'm a rep for the the e-cig half the time, lol

R I'm very impressed with this and see alot of potentional in it, ideas are flowing, never would of taught of it myself, I applaud you on a great plugin, well done and look forward to updates, seriously, well done.

Ummm, lets convert all 3 of them, 3 reviewers with 3 different products, now that would be very interesting, beta on who will cave first

I strongly believe in VR also, it works with game engines such as cryengine, udk and unity, unity is idea for sketchup models as it's a tri mesh based game engine, so we can virtually walk around and inside buildings that we create in sketchup, but yes I would like to be able to use the oculus inside sketchup itself for modelling purposes, gloves are already being worked on for the oculus by I dependant developers, it's only a matter of time, also bare in mind the oculus is also 3d, so u can see depth as you would with the naked eye, I'm looking forward to testing this out but I can't see it work in sketchup just yet but it would be great to see this happen at some stage, which I don't think will be too long

I have being importing my files into maya for sometime now and it works fine for me, that includes components, I don't use groups tho so not sure if they import into maya, I usually export the the model them use the fix converter by auto desk which is free to use, and it imports straight into maya with no flaws

Thanks lads, And I hope ye are all aven success with it as I am, ummm solo that's a great idea, does Mike smoke tho? I know Rich smokes, maybe we could convert him to using a E-Cig and right a review, lol

That's brilliant, lol, great find Rich, ill ave to pay a visit to give you a demo of the oculus when it arrives, you may have to give Mike a call too, maybe even write a review

I'm off the smokes 20 days now and saved myself from smoking 404 cigarettes, saved €187 and gained myself 3days life, now that's not bad, but I can't live without my e-cig, with out it I'd be smoking already, I have already started to dislike the smell of smoke, had to clean out my love nest due to the smell of smoke, my life has completely changed, and all this because I tried someone else's e-cig and decided to get my own the next day, not once ave I looked bk and I'm never gonna smoke again, even my 4 yr old noticed and he is happy I'm vapouring and not smoking, lads if ye haven't started on a e-fag I suggest you do, it's far better, I feel great

Ah well I just placed my order, I'm interested in this type of tech and am very willing to learn what can be done with it, maybe even use it for modelling in sketchup, oculus say I should have it within a month, if all goes well, and if this beauty is as good as the reviews iv seen I'd like to see if there can be any integration into sketchup itself, but it's just the developers kit so who knows, but yeah I'm a VR freak so ill keep ye all up to date on how I get in with it in the coming month, I hope

That is fantastic, I'm all over this already, Cheers R

It is amazing, I recommend watching people's reactions and reviews on YouTube, iv even listened to a guy who was on a beach in a game and he felt so relaxed and being there tru the VR headset that he felt as tho he should crack open a beer and enjoy the view, gameplay with the oculus is the future of gaming but I see this as a great tool for modelling in sketchup, also I am aware that developers are already developing projects using the oculus rift with the leap, kinect, 360 degree treadmills and gloves where u can pick up and interact with objects, the developments are already shooting up on the web, some guy already made a superman simulation where you use you head to stear, now that's something I'd like to try for myself.

I'm not sure if you are aware of the oculus rift which was a successful project on kickstarter late last yr http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1523379957/oculus-rift-step-into-the-game

The developer kits started shipping out last week and already reviews are popping up all over the web and even a 90yr old woman on YouTube tries it out, amazing tech and it's only gonna get better.
Has anyone here invested in the oculus rift and can you tell us what your impressions are and have you used sketchup in anyway with this amazing piece of technology.

I also may add that you can still order the developers kit at a very reasonable price, I'm still thinking will I or won't I...
