Thanks, sometimes you need a break from things though and this is really helping fire me up again… The F3 is a major project, this is more like a little side project that I can release into the wild and see how people react. It also might help give the F3 more exposure and publicity. Imagine what people will say when I release the best hand and gun motion controller that you can build for $40 and I put it together in a week :p

The gyros in the rift run at 1000hz yes, but the camera for positional tracking is only 60hz, I’m guessing they’ll be increasing this to 240hz for CV1…

I’ve built an IR-Tracker with a PSEye Webcam myself (with FTnoIR + IR-Plugin) and it works ok-ish. But even at 187fps (modded drivers for the cam), there is noticable lag, I dont think this is suitable for properVR tracking. There is a reason why oculus uses 1000Hz tracking + gyros.
But I think that the F3 is awesome and has great potential. I’d love to see more updates about that again!
I’m already eager to take a look at your VR demo when my DK2 finally arrives (~4 weeks).
