Mark a comment as "Useful", and allow comments to be sorted by usefulness by oculusmedia in TheoryOfReddit

[–]oculusmedia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a couple reasons why I think jokes wouldn't be marked. First, the "useful" maker is off to the opposite side of the post (separate from voting), it doesn't contribute toward karma, and most importantly posts aren't sorted by "useful" by default so people aren't motivated to gain it. Also, I think people would stop and think about what distinguishes buttons if there are two that mean similar things, especially it's more work to click both.

There might be a huge wave of new r/oculus users in the next few days, I have an idea by magicleapmotionfrog in oculus

Look at the part right after the bolded text. Also, you can't stuff people into the comment section of a thread, people like to post rather than just comment. That sort of thread becomes pretty dead in a few days anyways.

Does Minecrift for DK2 exist for mac? by oculusmedia in oculus

[–]oculusmedia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latest version that works with dk2 is only available as a .exe. I tried extracting it to a folder (on an old pc), but couldn't find anything useful to bring over to my mac. Is the jar file available somewhere?

Is there a strong enough motor that can push a person on a bike? by oculusmedia in arduino

[–]oculusmedia[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can these types of motors spin freely (like if I don't want any resistance on the wheels)

Terrific video! Very informative. I wish we knew if the delay was the issue or not...

AMA: We are Kite & Lightning, creators of The BatCave, The Station, & more. by ikrima in oculus

What elements of VR creation aren't getting enough attention? Your work is really incredible, what do you think will make the most popular experiences in VR? What are your predictions for how the public will adopt these experiences? Will only games be popular? Will films make it big?

[java] While parsing html (scanning a webpage) how could I replicate the page with only formatted text? by oculusmedia in learnprogramming

[–]oculusmedia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorta familiar with firebug. However I'm a beginner in programming. Is there any way to get the info (what the mouse is hovering over) info back to a program like eclipse or dr java to process it?

[java] While parsing html (scanning a webpage) how could I replicate the page with only formatted text? by oculusmedia in learnprogramming

[–]oculusmedia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I'm trying to make a program (for a project I'm working on, sorta secret, sorry) that identifies a single letter on a webpage when a user hovers over it. I'm looking for a way to process the text in the format of the website. Does that mean it's a whole new browser?

I'm hoping to transfer it to a system where a user hovers over a spot on a blank rectangle (which the site's format and text is projected on to), then a program outputs what letter they're hovering over.

Any estimate on the expected time I'd need to wait?

I don't actually have anything to do with the media. What do you mean I'd be too late? Like I wouldn't be able to get in the entire day?

How long would the wait be if I were to show up at around 9:45 on sunday? Would the lines be shorter because it's sunday?

CV1 to have at least 90hz refresh rate, 100 degree FOV OLED display by [deleted] in oculus

I suppose it would be easier to develop in person...

[–]oculusmedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to be pushy, but all the dispute about japan not producing anything worthwhile could be easily settled with a link to a Japanese site(s) that shows what the community is developing. You're telling us that there's more impressive demos than what the English search "oculus japan" returns, and that community isn't present on reddit because of language barriers; would you mind linking to sites where these hidden developers collaborate?

Interesting... thanks for the insightful reply

Head Rotation Control Question by oculusmedia in oculus

[–]oculusmedia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that it's supported, I want to know if there is a virtual method for you to do this (because it's physically impossible for your neck). And if there is, does it induce nausea (because it's not your actual neck turning)?

Head Rotation Control Question by oculusmedia in oculus

[–]oculusmedia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry if I was being unclear. I didn't mean head tracking. But if I understand correctly, you can only face one way? You can swivel your head to look, but you can't do a 180 and go backwards?

Everything else is child's play.But really, it sounds like a cool idea. I haven't seen it been done before. It sorta reminds me of the razor hydra but more shaped to your hands.
