Harvey tries the Oculus

Update: Loki Eliot has also provided a summary of his initial findings with the Oculus Rift and the Lab’s beta viewer. You can read his report here.

Harvey Crabsticks is one of those fortunate enough to have a Oculus Rift headset and get accepted into the Lab’s beta of their OR-enabled viewer beta.

While he admits he’s not had time to plunge all the way in to RIFT / SL usage, he has provided a preliminary report on his initial experiences. Hopefully, there will be more to come as he pokes at things some more, allowing for commitments with the preparations for the Paradise Lost curtain-up in April, and with the Romeo + Juliet AIR-6 installation.

If you’re interested in the Rift and want an informed, balanced view on things, head on over to Harvey’s blog and take a read (and I recommend his blog in general for some good reading).
