Demo for EECS grad students at UC Berkeley : The Oculus Rift at U Cal Berkeley : Small Headed People Need Not Apply

Attempt at an Oculus Rift Tent Revival on Campus seems to make few Converts. I forget how many individuals "invested" in the success of this device thru the Kickstarter thing thereby ensuring a Amway, Juice Plus type Multi-Level Marketing campaign. That's why you see so many Oculus Rift "Will Change The World" Stories from these Techo-Geeks. There was a story yesterday on the effectiveness of PTSD Exposure Therapy (Virtual Afghanistan) using a Head Mounted Display  in which the writer says "that the treatment will be that much better when clinicians stop using the "primitive" eMagin Z800 and use the Rift instead.  It's a cult.

From the Tent Revival:

Impressions: A lot of people seemed to really enjoy it, smiling and talking to friends while they fully explored the RedFrame area and looked at lots of things. I didn't get a whole lot of verbal feedback as each person was quick to hand off to the next person and then wander off. One person had a bit of VR sickness, and a few people said it looked a little blurry, which might be because of the fixed IPD setting and A cups. One person had a small head so it didn't quite fit snugly. One student talked to me about some ideas for hand/finger tracking, a few asked about cost, one asked when there will be a dev kit for Crystal Cove, one asked about 360 video (and porn), and I talked to one about how and why they're planning to use OLED screens. When I asked one student if they saw motion blur during head movement, they said "a little." Finally one person who already tried the demo sat casually next to the demo station and tried out the demo again while talking to a friend.
