Don't listen to the haters of this forum. Post as you want until the mods message you. 

Or just read the rules and don't have the mods message you...

Didn't see them when i went to do so. My mistake Again still rather new.

Looks like it's doing well, and you even needed to provide your Vive serial to buy one.

this is seriously amazing

hopefully it comes to fruition, and doesn't end up being terrible

It's fine, everyone makes mistakes, I was just frustrated with someone saying that you should break the rules all you want until someone messages you to stop.

Wirless D,

It's a bit ironic. That your post doesn't meet post standards

This isn't even breaking the rules, a simple repost? Shit this happens like 1000 times per day and no one ever got a warning point because of it. Stop being a hater and try having a good time on the forum instead of looking at every microscopic fraction of the Community Standards and reporting it. 

1. Yes, this is breaking the rules; look at the sticky right at the top of the section that even has capital letters.

2. How am I a hater for saying that someone broke the rules? I don't even dislike them. I'm just trying to keep the forum organized.

As previously noted, reposts of news items specifically, are indeed, against the rules.

 

Furthermore, you yourself quite simply noted why we should discourage reposting: "Shit like this happens like 1000 times per day"

 

Basically, by encouraging reposts, it means the Mods have to work way harder to try and clean up all the reposts and lock or merge as necessary. That's a lot of unnecessary work. Imagine how horrible the News sub forum would be if they didn't tackle reposts? You'd have 10 of the same topic on every page.

 

Now, I'm not gonna harp on the OP. He's been informed of the rules (which he himself states he didn't know about, so he learned something), but furthermore, the post has already been reported as a repost (Don't worry OP, you won't get in trouble for this).

 

Ideally, people would just report the post and move on with life without "backseat modding", but lots of times, the Mods can take hours to get around to locking a repost thread.

Idk how much more friendly i can get telling a new user about news standards than with toast flying into a cieling =P 

And i did say repost, i said retoast. Is different.

I don't encourage reposts I'm just saying we shouldn't get too technical about rules all the time. I encourage new posters to stay here and have a good time and be active instead of worrying "does this post break an implied point of the community standards?"

I understand your general sentiment, and I overall agree with your point. But this isn't "implied". It's quite explicitly against the rules.

 

In the other forums outside of news, I'm very much relaxed about the rules, and if I see a problem, I prefer to report it and just let the Mods deal with it behind the scenes. I take the same stance here in News, but I also understand that it's more important to educate newer News posters, so that they learn from their accidental mistakes, and thus next time they can make an even better news post.

15ms is not good. Rule of thumb is the maximum total latency that's acceptable for VR is 20ms. We're currently barely hitting that number with wires. Adding 15ms with WiFi...

According to whom? Total latency is nowhere near 20ms. The display alone has at least 11ms latency. Game engines adds way more than 20ms by themselves.

The controller you get with the Oculus Rift has like 70ms latency by itself.

The controller is irrelevant. We're not talking about traditional input latency, we're talking about head movement to photons latency. Which is in the 20ms range with the Vive and Rift. That's why we have various advanced reprojection and warp features, otherwise indeed the rendering would take way too long.

 

The problem is it took a lot of work to get us to a good spot for latency across wires. Going wireless suddenly adds extra latency that may be very, very difficult to deal with.

 

But we'll see when it's tested. I would absolutely love to see wireless PC VR upgrade kits.

...

It would be cool if they could fit the reprojection and warp features inside the headset (or next to the battery in your pocket etc.) eliminating latency on that end while still transmitting actual new frames wirelessly.

I saw this headline elsewhere yesterday morning and it absolutely made my day. I got to play around with the Vive at a friend's house and literally the only negative part of the experience was having to deal with the wires getting snarled up while playing Holopoint. So if this wireless adapter works properly, count me in.
