News: neXt - CGM rc Heli Simulator » How to use next with occulus rift DK2

Hi William,

these build works only with the Oculus Runtime 0.8.0.0. So, simply remove all other runtimes and install these. Then you start the neXt and it will work automatically.

I know that there are problems with deinstallation of newer Oculus runtimes. So, it's best to use a clean install.

At the moment I'm working on using the latest Oculus libraries. So, the next update brings this in the regular version and the HTC Valve is then also supported.

All the best,
Klaus

Hi Tim,

that's a hardware problem. The DK2 has still a low image resolution. So, when the helicopter is 50m away, only a few pixels can be used to render it. The DK2 has only 441 dpi and final Oculus Rift has 540 dpi. In future we need for a perfect view 1500 dpi. At the moment, the neXt zooms in a bit while you are flying away, to get the helicopter bigger. The final release will have this adjustable. Then you can increase the zoom level.

The low image resolution is the reason why we display the menu still on the computer monitor.

All the best,
Klaus
