RadicalVelocity said: Not seeing it. I read the original blog post back when Carmack originally posted it, but i remember no such thing. If you don't mind, can you point me to the parts that made you suspect such a thing?



Otherwise, no reason this is anything more than bfg not supporting the changes implemented for the latest iteration of the kit (5.6" -> 7" screen requiring different warping shader, different sensor....) Click to expand...

Since computer interfaces were invented, and not hardwired into physical sensors on our bodies?The belief is that latency will be nearly imperceptible if proper predictive algorithms are developed for the software end of things. The hardware itself is beyond what anything has been before it.What reassures me about this, is the fact that Luckey and the Oculus team aren't pretending like this isn't an issue. They're making latency testers available for developers for under $100, and it looks like a pretty elegant solution compared to Carmacks high-speed camera measurement method.Even at the current "not good enough for Carmack" latency levels, it's still blowing everyones mind in every demo that managers to pop up on Youtube.Oh it's just wild speculation on my behalf, I don't know either of them personally, but I just see this little passive aggressive blog posting on both ends, followed by an announcement of non-support, and I put 2+2 together. Could be (probably am) totally off base.Palmer has said many times that the developer version of the Rift has about 50ms of lag and he wants to cut it to less than 30ms. John put up his blog post saying that 50ms isn't good enough and he had his own ideas about how to make it better.To me it seems this was a little egotistical on John's behalf (*gasp* The Carmack has an ego, SHOCKING NEWS!) to post the blog entry about something he's been quite intimately involved with (the Rift) instead of discussing this with OculusVR themselves, and keeping the conversation private.John put the whole team on blast by posting that up, almost as a way to say "hey, it's not as good as you're saying it is", and also saying "hey I have the better solution, and you guys don't".Palmer put up the blog entry himself discussing the proper solutions, almost as if to say "John brings up these points, but we aren't ignoring the problem, and have our own solution, different from what John's is telling everyone".
