They have an Occulus Rift at the Invercargill Public Library

It doesnt work with glasses though, so I am glad I did not buy one

New Facebook Rift. Beaming unicorns and pictures of other people's babies directly to your eyeballs 24/7

I was looking forward to slipping an oculus rift on a friend while they slept, then have them wake up to like doom or something.

I'd have a hypothesis, a youtube channel, everything!

I suspect I will never get the chance to do this now :(


what i want to do is make a hack to the movie theatre app..

in the demos you sit in an empty theatre in a seat of your choosing,

what i want to do is then hack it to suddenly have walking dead zombies appear in the seat next to you and snarl so when you turn it is about to attack,

just to then see the reaction of the person wearing said rift..

Oh yes, but you'd need to leave it till like an hour in to the film....just so they're nice and comfortable and kinda forgetting where they are...

I really hope that FB don't have ads randomly pop up on your screen etc, or having to be connected to a FB "realm" to use the oculus rift.




PS.  Can't wait for my DK2 to arrive :)

Facebook Oculus Rift
Still not sure what the point of Oculus rift is

It appears to be a very immersive monitor that records where you are in space, but you cant interact with anything you see other than by moving towards it
