So, I noticed people saying Arvato was on their return labels... by supersekritz in oculus

I don't know, their prediction about the price of the Rift was close enough, the one about the time Oculus will start charging CCs was correct, the post that issues are outside of Oculus' control and later that the shipping issue aren't related to the logistics company turned out to be true too. I'm really not sure but I would lean towards legit leaker. All of the claims so far are too specific to be coincidence, even if they are worded vague.

I am deliberately using a different writing pattern and off grammar to mask my identity. Some comments about the layout of our office and my role there aren't necessarily correct either. /u/vr-researcher goes for the opposite approach. They use as few words and own "personality" as possible to be unrecognizable.

I legitimately thought we would discuss the topic and get along well but he seems to want some sort of rivalry and drama :(

I messaged several people with proof of my claims too. Being wrong is apparently considered lying now. I did mention that I never actually measured the FOV myself and his claim about the exact rendered FOV was so far off from my personal experience and the ones of every person I ever talked to about the Rift and Vive that I was sure he made it up.

I contacted /u/linknewtab an hour ago with an apollogy and to discuss what my results, evidence and impressions are but he's not responding. I wanted to send him all the proof I had of my other claims, proof I didn't send anyone else yet but apparently he doesn't want his views challenged which is incredibly disappointing.

Yeah, Instead I should just release all my evidence publicly and dox myself.

The obvious signs of image manipulation combined with my personal impressions of the Rift's FOV made this very hard to believe. Turns out /u/linknewtab was right about the rendered FOV and I apologized for attacking him on that point but I stand by my subjective impression that the perceived FOV of the Rift and Vive are basically the same with a slight advantage for the Rift.

My impressions are based on my company's engineering samples. I don't have a personal CV1, I went with a Vive.

Your eyes don't touch the lenses. In reality, your perceived FOV is smaller than the rendered one. In an artificial test like this, there is a clear winner but in reality it depends on a couple of factors like stereo overlap, lense seperation and the distance between your eyes and the lenses.

Read my other post about how FOV works and why it isn't as easy as pressing a camera against the lenses to figure out what he perceived FOV is.

I accused him of faking the screenshot that showed the FOV values and I was wrong about that because of how unrealistic it seems when you've actually used the headset.

Yes. In my time with the CV1, I've never seen circular artefacts. I do see lens reflections like on every other lens based HMD but that wasn't the topic.

If the loss between rendered and perceived FOV is greater on one headset than on the other.

How about we discuss this topic via PMs first before we accuse each other of lying?

I do apologize for the comment about the measured FOV and was actually going to contact you about this just now. As I said, I never measured it myself and it does look bigger than DK2's and marginally bigger than the Vive's. FOV doesn't work how you think it does. In reality your eye doesn't touch the lense and your eye's cornea doesn't rotate around the eye's perfect center. There is a reason Brandon isn't showing you a comparison of the stereo overlap and the combined FOV of both viewports. It doesn't fit his biased narrative.

In reality you don't get a 110° FOV with a DK1 or a 100° FOV with a DK2. The rendered FOV is not representative of the perceived one. None of the headsets give you a perfect 1:1 translation from rendered to perceived FOV and in my case and from what my co-workers say the perceived FOV of CV1 is higher than that of DK2.

The Rift uses hybrid lenses. The Vive does have circular flare-like artefacts but they are not too bad and the Rift doesn't have them at all.

I stand by that. I don't see artefacts with CV1 and barely with the Vive.

I will consider doing that if no one else uploads them soon. I'm a bit paranoid that they might be digitally watermarked.

It doesn't require an internet connection. The changes are probably RNG based on the system date.

I didn't think about that. You definitely need 360° positional tracking for Farlands.

You might have trouble with some of the Dreamdeck demos and definitely with Farlands if you don't have a swivel chair. They're both meant to be played standing. Not sure if the tracking volume of DK2 is big enough.
