I was feeling like a lazy hacker when I saw all the work this person put into the headset, then I realized who wrote the article and relaxed.
Removing the EMI shielding is just dumb.
The virtual desktop thing looks cool. Has anyone been able to use it as an external monitor for coding ? I have neck problems and this seems like a great replacement
The Mobile Computing Keyboard is fascinating ! I'm curious of people's reactions in public transport.
I wonder what kinds of fumes the dye lets off when heated.
What is the field of view?
(Note that humans have 210 degrees FOV, and from the looks of those goggles, it seems to be a lot less, but I could be wrong)
I wonder why the original headset wasn’t just made in black?
I know we think it’s right and noble to consider ideas separately from their authors, but I find it hard to read and especially promote this guy’s blog, knowing full well what kind of future he wants for my country.
> wait just a little bit longer for the vestibular fix I have been talking about.
If this is what I think it is, it is going to be huge. The buzz is that someone has discovered a cure for motion sickness, and it's incredibly simple: just wear a small vibrating device on the back of your head, sending a continuous vibration signal to your inner ear. For reasons unknown this seems to deactivate whatever part of the vestibular system is responsible for motion sickness. It is supposedly effective in >99% of people and does not disrupt balance.
Read the inventor's description here: https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/9ywify/inventor_may... Of course a cure for motion sickness will be great for VR but the applications in everyday life will be much, much bigger.
