SteamVR is beta is available for Linux!
Though I haven’t gotten it to work yet, it is nice to see that Valve is working on SteamVR for Linux. I’m looking forward to trying it out. At the moment it looks like it’ll take a bit of tinkering, but it should be usable in the future. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux

It’s been a while
Over the last couple of months I have had a bit of … fun. My new computer started restarting randomly more and more often until it suddenly wouldn’t start up, it turned out to be a failed BIOS chip on the motherboard, so I have been going through the RMA Process. Aside from that I […]

Lots of Minecraft VR News today
Today 3 Minecraft VR related things happened. The first, and probably the largest one is that the official Minecraft VR version came out today, it uses Minecraft Windows 10 edition, and you need to own a copy of Minecraft Windows 10 edition to play the VR edition. As an interesting sidenote, if you have the […]

Yet another … odd Oculus Event

I’m very happy today…
When I woke up this morning I found out that my Vive will be shipping soon! I don’t think that I’ve been so happy to see a large charge before… Too bad it appears that my Oculus won’t be here until May, something must have gone very wrong on their end to be so […]

Minecraft on the Vive
Well, someone has ported Minecraft, via the Minecrift mod to the HTC Vive headset. The motion controls look very interesting to me… Now I’m really looking forward to my Vive arriving, not sure when it’ll happen though. Thanks to the ‘Sold out’ error that appeared to many people, including myself, when the vive preorders started […]

Playing Minecraft on the Rift is very fun, they recently released an update which made it compatible with the Oculus SDK 0.8, after a fairly long wait. Now on top of that, they’re planning on supporting […]
