I have the DK2
and I am working on a VR
project. This project uses FirefoxNightly. I've downloaded it and installed the WebVR Enabler Add-On
Got this from http://mozvr.com/downloads/
I have also downloaded and installed the latest SDK and Runtime for Windows from https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/
I am also getting this on the Oculus Configuration Utility (while the oculus is plugged in):
However, I have gone on another computer with windows.. installed everything just like on this windows computer and it clearly shows the Oculus Rift connected properly but the head tracking still not working.
EDIT: I just tried connecting the oculus rift to this "second" pc ( dell laptop ) and now it doesn't even recognize the oculus rift. Still no head tracking.
EDIT 2: I tried installing everything on a third PC without success. I'm getting "service unavailable" on the Oculus Configuration Utility
My display mode is set as shown in the image.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a step I forgot to do? The weird thing is, I have the same project running on Mac without having any problems. Yes, on windows I can see the screen through the oculus rift
but head detection is just not present.
This reddit post talks about the firewall issue however I tried the oculus rift with the firewall disactivated without success.
This reddit post talks about a possible fix by reinstalling everything and updating certain drivers.. however I have followed this fix step by step without success.
This oculus forum post talks about the issue and one person proposes a fix that worked for him/her. I followed the fix without success.
If you require specific translations let me know. It is in French.
Rift Display Mode
This sounds like the same issue a lot of us are having with the 0.5 and 0.6 versions. It's not something wrong with the cables, but with the Runtime itself. Direct-mode works flawlessly and in Extended mode the rift still displays a picture, altho without any tracking etc from the runtime. Hoping it'll be fixed in the next update.
Today, most games made for the Oculus Rift are based on specific versions of the Oculus Rift. I found this GUI desktop application that seems to solve most of those problems.
The idea is to install all Oculus Rift Runtime versions and then use the GUI to switch between each version.
The link above is to a reddit post that talks about how to install the application and the different runtimes.
You must install the runtimes from oldest to newest otherwise you'll run into some difficulties, like I unfortunately did. If I'm not mistaken runtime version 0.8 is very buggy and I never really got it to work.
Good luck.
