I think that's a little naive, I doubt Facebook will have much interference in the company - and are likely simply investors, Oculus was probably a conspicuous acquisition.That FB deal will most likely lead to me not buying the Oculus at all, I'm strongly against such corporate sellouts.
It makes a difference to me knowing I didn't support FB. Sadly, you are right, and this FB deal will probably end with even more people buying the Rift than if they didn't.Unfortunately, voting with one's wallet rarely has much effect. So long as there are 1000 people buying for every one refusing to buy on principle - it makes no difference what-so-ever.
I have boycotted companies that wronged me before - no one really cares so long as there is some benefit in it for them. Granted, in this case there are large numbers voicing their dismay online so maybe it will work. In the end, we may still only be hurting ourselves. Time will tell but, there are other alternatives in the works and many who jumped off the Oculus band wagon will now have other companies to support.
Yes, I know what you are saying. It's a personal choice and knowing that it matters to you is enough. I can't argue with that and I don't think that our opinions are that different anyway. In the end, VR is a very exciting prospect for me and I think it can be a "Game Changer" in terms of raising the "immersion" as well as increasing the speed at which we learn. Being older myself, I'm not going to wait too long to have those kind of experiences while I have the chance.It makes a difference to me knowing I didn't support FB.

Also, I said "likely", as in I might end up buying it anyways, but it has to be that much better than any competitor for that to happen.
Yes, it's understandable given the companies history but, I also tend to believe that the Oculus guys are determined to deliver one way or another. They are too passionate and dedicated to VR to fail IMO. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.I was already not ready to jump headlong into this product anyway but having Facebook buet it has given me even more pause. I would to what to see their angle for this purchase before I jump on.
CV1? Is that the cunsumer version?
The big question is if it´s possible to do a 24h lemans with Occulus Rift . with 4 drivers you need to be able to do 6h with it
But they can go for 4 hours as far as I know.As in a maximum of 2 hours stints... at Le Mans drivers don't drive for 6 hours in a row..
But they can go for 4 hours as far as I know.
I find it very interesting, but one of the issues is, that I can't see the buttons on my wheel, button box or the dash I use, which would be a real shame
As you are not allowed to sell the DK2 (on ebay and such) I have to wait for the final version. Compared to triple screens it is rather cheap.
