That looks pretty good.  Seems easy enough to make!

Mine seem to be ok, got both notifications for your posts to me. Can you not add the domain to your safe senders list?

I just changed where it sends my email to get around it. But I thought you might want to know about it because it's an issue with how the email is constructed or Sent or something. From the quick checking I did I think you can fix it.

Reading the instructions, it looks like something Pete will need to add a TXT record (and possibly an SPF too) to the DNS records. At least I think Pete has control of the domain? Still says it is registered to LP.

Weird. Maybe that data 123-reg lost included the last 10 years of domain history or something. :/

If either of you can give me something to copy-paste I'll go update it.

I'm not sure what you'd need to fix it.

Yeah it was easy to make. I don't have anything to hold it together, or on my head, or a button for it. So it's a bit awkward. And the lenses are very blurry at the edges. Are they all like that?

But it's pretty impressive. There's a pretty good immersive video called Help on YouTube which was fun to watch.

I'd really like to try a Vive or Rift after playing with that.

The Contagion download in Vrse is fun. Creepy walk through a psychiatric ward strapped to a wheelchair. Sian tried it and threw the phone on to the bed :)

Pete has added the TXT record to the domain, so we can track mail delivery reports to Gmail accounts. Will take a while to get some feedback, but will hopefully give some idea as to the problem.

Sounds good!  I've changed my address here to another account, do you want me to switch it back to help track issues?

Shouldn't need to, I'd imagine there are plenty of people here using Gmail.

I'm still waiting on the lenses to arrive that I ordered from Amazon two weeks ago!  Although, I don't have the entire headset printed yet either...  I've been so fucking lazy this year, it's a wonder I haven't starved to death or something.

Anyone have an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive? I had a quick play with a Vive on Saturday at my uni reunion and it was awesome. Very immersive and easy to interact with things.

I think it was the Valve Labs they had running so I was shooting balls all cardboard boxes with a slingshot.

Only problem is now I want one :)

Have they sorted the motion sickness thing? I bought a 3dvisor Z800 (a loooooong time ago) and it struck me then that the motion sickness was possibly insurmountable.

I also had a go on the Vive on Saturday.
Tried several different games and different people experienced different levels of vertigo only on one game - Windlands. The rest of the time everyone was fine.

 

I can get nausea playing video games on my pc, especially if they have lots of running down corridors.

 (puke)

Ta both.  It's an obstruction to take-up certainly, & possibly a deal breaker.  All of this stuff is only prefatory fluff to AR, anyway.  That will be a proper big thing.

apparently ginger ale is a good thing to have on hand for the nausea. Dunno if it still counts if you add booze.

I didn't experience any motion sickness or nausea at all when I was using it but it was only a short demo. Different people seem more susceptible to it and some games are better than others at preventing it.

My mum gets sick and headaches from watching 3D films so she'd probably suffer using one of these.

For me it's falling (in games) that gets me. I secretly believe that games like Assassins Creed and Crackdown were specifically designed to entice me with game play and then make me vomit.
