Regarding the Oculus Rift

Hi Crosire

I know you've tried various headsets in the past, and now recently the consumer version was released for pre-ordering. I was among one of the first ordering the goggles.. I was wondering if you did the same, or are planning to do so now that it's soon out? It would be really great with injectors I think It will really be the the thing that pushes first generation headsets to perfection, judging by how much better the DK2 was with your injectors!

I'm not sure yet to be honest. While the Oculus Rift DK2 was great the first time I tested it, I was much more blown away by the HTC Vive. I cannot speak for the new Oculus Rift though and I personally won't buy either of them until I could compare them live. And then, if I'm convinced, I most likely have to decide for one, which isn't necessarily going to be the Oculus variant.

Oh.. That's understandable. That said, the CV1 is a big step from the DK2, and the OR and Vive is pretty close in comparison (same resolution). Actually it's said the pixel density is a lot better and that the screen door effect is not visible any more on the OR. Both Vive and OR will be really great.

Hi Crosire,

Just so you know, this is a very well known thread in the VR community and we are all hanging on you getting ReShade/SweetFX working with Oculus runtime 1.3 (Direct Mode)

Any chance you could drop an update so satiate the appetites of thousands of people?

I'd love to add support for the Rift, now that it is released. But without owning one, I can only do guesswork on how it works by looking at the SDK, which won't produce any good results.

I took the liberty to open a thread about this issue on reddit

Big fan of your work, hope you will get your hands on a Rift asap and start working on it.

Hi crosire,
I'm a regular sim-racer, and reshade made the biggest difference to the DK2, it was like adding another 50% of resolution to the headset.

Now that I have the Oculus CV1 I can only imagine how good it will be if you can enable reshade to work with the new 1.4 runtime!

While I'm not willing to send you my CV1, the oculus DK2 works with the new runtime as well, so I'd be willing to ship it to you if you need a headset for testing. Let me know!!

You have my thanks sir. Hope Crosire accept

Since the DK2 works with the same runtime (I heard as much too), I should be able to figure it out. So yes, I'd be more than happy if we can make this work. It think it's preferable to continue the discussion via email though: contact@reshade.me.

If you're looking for more resolution on the headset i've heard the display can be downsampled

What's the latest on this? I see a lot of questions about Oculus and Reshade getting answered with a link to this thread but nothing here has changed for some time now... Just curious.

Hi Crosire

I don't know the statos or if/when you're going to do this, but I'd like to add that the Oculus Rift SDK is pretty slick in terms of performance.. I used the Oculus debug-tool to double the pixelperdisplay setting, and I ran games like Assetto Corsa with unbeleavalbe difference from what it was with x1..

I can only begin to imagine how great it would look if we added Reshade lumasharpen on it.. The performance with Oculus SDK is an absolute blast.. Keep us informed if anything happens

Hi guys,

I've sent the DK2 off to Crosire, not sure if he's received it yet as he's unfortunately on the other side of the world, it's going to take time. Just gotta be patient.

That's cool man! Thanks for doing that! I just hope it is not impossible to implement ReShade into this

Status update: Managed to hook into the Rift rendering pipeline. But since it's recognized as an entirely different output device, it still needs a lot of additional code before I can start rendering into it. Also, input probably won't work. Then again, that's not much of an issue as I can't really show the in-game UI on the Rift anyway (since it's a static overlay which would quickly cause a headache).

Would the Vive be any different in this case?

Cool.. You should post on reddit.com/r/oculus with your progress I think many people will be really happy!

Ummm, is this moving along at all, or has it been abandoned?

Like I said in other topics, I do not have the time to work on this currently. If everything pans out, there will be opportunity to continue it next month. But I cannot guarantee anything.

I don't know but, it may be easier to program for OSVR that way all the HMD will work. That and to keep the reproduction of work down. Programming is time intensive...................

Other then that Ya a lot of VR headsets are going to come and go. May make sense to work on one that works with all. Only problem I see is that OSVR software is not really user friendly.

The VR head sets I know that are out now.

Oculus Rift
Vive
OSVR own HMD

Not counting the many Cell Phone HMD
