Oculus Rift Dev Kit 2 pre-orders open today, priced at $350

Official Website：http://www.oculusvr.com/dk2/

Announcing the Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 (DK2)

Since the launch of the Oculus Kickstarter, we’ve been focused on building the best virtual reality platform. The original development kit was a strong starting point that showed the world a glimpse of presence, but its shortcomings prevented it from delivering great VR.

Almost exactly one year after shipping the original dev kit, we’re pleased to announce DK2, the second development kit for the Oculus Rift!

The second development kit features many of the key technical breakthroughs and core elements of the consumer Rift including a low-persistence, high-definition display and precise, low-latency positional head tracking.

DK2 isn’t identical to the consumer Rift, but the fundamental building blocks for great VR are there. All the content developed using DK2 will work with the consumer Rift. And while the overall experience still needs to improve before it’s consumer-ready, we’re getting closer everyday — DK2 is not the Holodeck yet, but it’s a major step in the right direction.

Like the Crystal Cove prototype, DK2 uses a low persistence OLED display to eliminate motion blur and judder, two of the biggest contributors to simulator sickness. Low persistence also makes the scene appear more visually stable, increasing the potential for presence. The high-definition 960×1080 per-eye display reduces the screen-door effect and improves clarity, color, and contrast.

DK2 also integrates precise, low-latency positional head tracking using an external camera that allows you to move with 6-degrees-of-freedom and opens up all sorts of new gameplay opportunities like peering around corners, leaning in to get a closer look at objects in the world, and kicking back on a virtual beach.

Precise positional tracking is another key requirement for comfortable virtual reality; without it, an enormous amount of your real world movement is lost. We’re looking forward to seeing the new experiences the community creates now that positional head tracking is a core element of the platform.

We’ve also included updated orientation tracking, a built-in latency tester, an on-headset USB accessory port, new optics, elimination of the infamous control box, a redesigned SDK and further optimized Unity and Unreal Engine 4 integrations.

All in, DK2 delivers a massive leap forward in terms of the quality of the VR experiences you’re able to create and enjoy. The consumer Rift will be another major step beyond that, but in the meantime DK2 brings the world closer to great consumer virtual reality than ever before.

Even with all these changes, we’ve tried to keep the price as low as possible. DK2 will be $350 at launch and you can pre-order the hardware, reserving your spot in the queue, starting today at www.oculusvr.com/order. We expect to begin shipping the first batch of DK2s in July, and we’ll ramp up production based on interest.

GDC 2014

We’re debuting the second development kit this week at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco with EVE: Valkyrie by CCP, UE4 Elemental Defense by Epic, and a new demo, UE4 Couch Knight!

Couch Knight was built by the team at Epic Games to showcase the positional tracking and basic avatars in a setting with shared presence. The tech demo juxtaposes a realistic scene with two cartoon knights, controlled by the players, who burst to life and battle throughout the room on couches, shelves and even the players’ avatars.

The players’ head movements and position are actually mapped to the avatars using UE4’s inverse kinematic system, which makes for a taste of a social experience.

A huge thank you to the team at Epic for bringing Couch Knights to life! If you’re at the show this week, be sure to swing by the booth and check it out.

What’s Next?

We’re deep into development on the consumer Rift. We have a lot more planned, including improvements to comfort, resolution, tracking, software, ergonomics, optics, industrial design, and the overall experience.

Virtual reality is going to continue to evolve rapidly in the coming years. There’s no cutting corners or ‘good enough’ when it comes to VR; the consumer Rift needs to be perfect and we’re dedicated to getting it right. We’re moving as fast as possible and promise it’ll be worth the wait.

The passion of the VR community is what has made all this possible, from the Kickstarter campaign to the hundreds of games and experiences we've seen so far. And this is still just the beginning.

We truly believe virtual reality will change the world — Thanks for being part of the journey with us.

　　《穿越火线 Online》、《失落的方舟》韩国游戏公司 Smilegate 此次在 2018 东京电玩展中，曝光了支持 PSVR 的虚拟现实游戏新作《FOCUS on YOU》。





　　Smilegate 表示，《FOCUS on YOU》是款藉由约会与女孩加深关系的作品，目前正在开发中。 玩家的对象是名正在艺术学校攻读服装课程的韩国高中女学生，她很喜欢草莓与韩国流行音乐，最近很关心 Youtube 与 Cosplay 内容。 玩家则设定为与她在同所学校、专攻摄影课程的学生，希望成为摄影师，并提出以对方担任模特儿的要求，开始培养关系。

第一人称射击游戏《揭秘计划 2：远古之战》今日上市 展开惊险刺激的火星内战
转载 - 巴哈姆特（https://gnn.gamer.com.tw/7/168557.html）

　　由唯晶科技开发的 VR 动作射击游戏《揭秘计划 2：远古之战》于今（20）日上市。 《揭秘计划 2：远古之战》采第一人称视角，支持 PlayStation VR（PS VR）枪型控制器及 DS4 手把，主打可一边进行移动一边进行攻击，让玩家体验成为一名穿梭在敌人与子弹间的神枪手。 玩家透过剧情解锁，可以拥有至少六种以上酷炫的枪型提供选择，来应对各种不同的敌军机械。

   

　　在《揭秘计划 2：远古之战》中，玩家身为探查火星文明的副指挥官，意外发现透过在火星上发现的方舟水晶，不仅能够和凯瑟琳意识交流还能帮助地球科技高速发展。 进入方舟装置后，为了更了解火星文明的兴衰，凯瑟琳带领副指挥官化身为身手矫健的枪手──白枪，搭乘战舰直闯敌方重兵基地。





　　官方表示，玩家在享受着快节奏射击的同时，还能感受到游戏各式小细节，像是角色说话时脸部表情采用动作捕捉使感情细腻的呈现，射击时损耗的能量会体现在枪身上以利掌握充能的时机，攻击敌人不同的部位给予的伤害也不同。

　　玩家在战斗中，将跟随白枪的记忆轨迹行动，但遇上岔路仍有选择的空间，亦有一些令人会心一笑的小彩蛋等着玩家发掘，探索自然之律与新进化两方战争背后隐藏的秘密。





　　官方指出，本作特别为 PS VR 枪型控制器设计战斗，让玩家操控起来可如握着真枪般精准的射击眼前的敌人。 另外，随着战斗阶段的改变，挑战将会越来越困难，玩家不仅要掌握射击技巧，同时要闪避敌方的攻击。 游戏中战斗环境也会随之改变，惨白的异世界、高大耸立在荒野中的遗迹建筑，搭配上精心制作的音乐效果，将带给给玩家丰富的视听感受与故事背景设定的结合。





　　官方表示，研发团队在刻划角色故事上也下了不少工夫，其中自然之律的枪手「白枪」与新进化的战士「黑剑」这两个主要角色关系将是最令人印象深刻的。

白枪

　　属自然之律阵营，值得信赖的队长，传闻是唯一可以跟黑剑平起平坐的竞争对手，不过自己并不在意别人的言论。 身手矫健，能够将专注技巧灵活运用，十分尽责可靠，无论是探查敌阵还是只身前往战场前线，甚至是危险度极高的营救任务、棘手的事情，白枪都会执行。



黑剑

　　属新进化阵营，当时火星人中最强的存在，自己也对本身能力有相当的自信，认为白枪不可能与之并驾齐驱且不把白枪看在眼里。 黑剑与一般人不同，他不使用枪械或其他远距离武器，而是靠着自身的力量敏捷地挥舞手中的重剑，当他拿出真本事的时候则会牺牲自身灵活性，使用破坏性强大的重装武器冲锋陷阵。
