cardboard arrived (weekend/labor day took extra time) assembled in 1 min, it's cardboard so yea feels flimsy, i mean cardboard. loaded up google app, looked nice, i don't think they did the split image well, so i just one-eyed it.
head tracking works nice, i spun in my office chair. the app is like versailles tour, google earth (superman) tour, streetview(like your sitting in a streetview car moving) and youtube view. (you see hundreds of active channels and can click to view, like how bad guys have the walls of tv)
this is just 10mins to play with it. i did get a tinge of bile/metallic, so i'll probably get motionsick from this (i can't play fps anymore since i turned 30 for more than 45mins)

Thanks, I'll try that one out tonight. Haven't found much good material for DK2 yet. Helix was great on DK1 but kind of sucks on DK2. Titans of Space was the one demo I found that was incredible on DK1 and is still incredible on DK2, that developer just gets it. The Kon-Tiki DK2 demo is also good.

So I tried it again, this time with my contacts on no headache after 10mins but after about 1.5hours I started getting vertigo badly hahaha(something that I would probably not even notice once I got use too it..)
weird thing my glasses/contacts are only for distance but seem to help my eyes better adjust for the OR unit, kinda interesting.

If you were able to make it over an hour wearing it you are very lucky, that is a crazy long time, the average person is going to get motion sickness way before that.
Yes you have to wear glasses just as you normally would. Your eyes are focusing on stuff in game similar to how they would in real life, if something in the game looks 100 yards out in front of you then your eyes are focusing like they would on a 100 yard out object. It is good that it works this way or everybody over age 40 would be screwed. My close up vision got worse and worse in my early 40's and I need reading glasses to be able to focus on something a few inches away from my face but I have no problem using my Oculus Rift.

Motion sickness doesn't bug me at all, honestly it is something I have never noticed my whole life.
My actual eye script hasn't changed at all sense I was 24, and even then it is a very miniscule adjustment needed for my distance sight. I did have a lot of fun playing HL2 with it though makes it interesting and can't wait for the better sound stuff.

I am still looking for someone who wants to donate a DK1 or 2 they are board of... tax credit
if you have a 1 and are replacing it with the 2. I am looking into writing a grant to get one for our maker lab, but having someone(s) donate one(or more) would be great and you get a tax break... I think for "full price" of whatever it was when it released.

For people who have a DK2 + Alien: Isolation...

There's a learning curve (getting your VR legs as it were) but VR can be nausea inducing if one of a handful of problems exist. It's only when all the stars align that it really is worth it.
