Carry on DG. She says 'no'! Apparently it won't take an additional storage card which she says she needs for her copious pictures and music (I know she could use cloud storage, but she won't) BUT most importantly ITS THE WRONG COLOUR!!

Tom has an Occulus rift. He has written some software for it, and it's brilliant

I was skeptical on the Samsung model until I tried one over the weekend and was blown away 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I think it probably is the same. Tom's developing Unity, he has a truck driving simulator that is very realistic!

Yes it runs with Oculus software through the handset and can do most things the Rift can ...though a slightly narrower field of view the Samsung runs at higher resolution.
As for the sickness issue ...it seems there are some that get it and others don't....initially it seems my brain is OK with it but I'll let you know Some great applications in the software library though
Is Tom writing anything for commercial use Gareth ?21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I think he is. The company he is with at the moment (Relentless Software) are involved in some 'big' project. Its so secret even Tom's keeping his mouth shut!
The truck driving was just a learning exercise.

My son reckoned it was the lag that caused it which I guess is why they suggested minimum spec of PCs is so high.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
