Can you turn off the Rift, or do you always just let it sleep?

Would really like a VR headset (Rift for instance)... money is the issue.

Just a question... does the Rift has batteries or is it wired?

Both the Rift and the Vive are wired.

are you guys using the DK2 or the CV1?

I have the DK2 but was looking at maybe upgrading as the prices are coming down slowly. 

cant decide whether to wait for the next gen with 4k screen. 

 

regards.

 

Get CV1 now, we don't know when the next generation will be out. I went for it, I did not want to wait and wait and kill myself reading the great threads and dreaming only to have a wreck or heart attack, and have to say "Please let me enter your kingdom Lord"

 

Look at my wife and say "I love you sweetie, I will be waiting for you, love you more thasn anything."

 

And as my sight grows dim "Man, why did I wait on the Oculus Rift, now I will never know the joy of true immersion in VR?

 

CROAK.

Not only wired, but the best thing since Fat Albert on Saturday morning cartoons.

 

When mine came in my wife asked "Are you ready to try it?"

 

I said "I'm not just ready, I am primed and ready, I got my paisley patterned double breasted suit dry cleaned and settled outta court!"

I got the Rift on the summer sale with Touch. FlyInside has a setting for 3840x2040 which I use and works OK with a GTX 1080 video card. Get 25/95 to 30/90 in the LAX basin. In the new LasVegas default scenery I get about the sam fps unless I am flying right down the strip, on the Las Vegas Strip it gets pretty choppyy VR, but around the periphery of the strip it does OK.
