Damn it, I forgot about that...I can't go to the post office on Wednesday & Thursday because I work early in the morning. I planned to go on Friday to get the package :(

So it's Monday 4th August I will be able to get it.

Just checked and it has changed from READY to Processing for me as well.

I wonder which courier is handling Middle-East deliveries.

Weird... Just got an email that I should change my payment information, because they haven't received my payment. I used PayPal and it has already been withdrawn from my bank account and according to PayPal it should be on their bank account since the 4th of April.

Emailed Oculus about it, so I hope it gets sorted out soon.

EDIT: I ordered on Mar 19, 2014 10:42 AM PDT. So maybe it was ready to be changed to processing. :(

and he just did

That line is from a pre-announcement hardware/software license that was only meant to be distributed to a few very close business partners. We accidentally copied it into the DK2 manual's terms and conditions in our rush to get the DK2 SDK and documentation out the door on time, woops! The line has been fixed, and we added a section to the Ownership paragraph to explicitly clarify the rights of developers

seems like all is well :)

The line has been fixed, and we added a section to the Ownership paragraph to explicitly clarify the rights of developers. We are putting up the corrected language right now, but I have copied the changes below:

USE OF THE PRODUCT; LICENSE; LIMITATIONS. You agree to use the headset for software development purposes only, and not for resale, for hire, or for other commercial purposes. Oculus grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right and license to use the Firmware solely in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

You agree not to: (a) sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute or otherwise transfer the Firmware without the express prior written consent of Oculus; (b) reverse engineer, derive source code from, modify source code from, or decompile source code from the Product in whole or in part, or (c) make any commercial use of the Product without the prior written consent of Oculus. Oculus shall have no obligation to provide any updates or upgrades to the Firmware, but in the event that it does, such updates, upgrades and any documentation shall be deemed part of the Firmware, and shall be subject to these Terms and Conditions

OWNERSHIP. As between you and Oculus, Oculus shall own all right, title, and interest in and to the Firmware and any and all modifications or copies thereof or improvements thereto.

Sorry for causing a ruckus and taking a while to clarify, I wanted to make sure we fixed the problem before saying anything. Actions speak louder than words.

Processing

Today is a good day.

We are also introducing the Oculus Display Driver for the Windows platform, which streamlines access to the Oculus Rift screen. This new feature allows direct rendering to the Rift itself instead of treating the headset as a regular monitor. This optional approach reduces latency and avoids the complications of Windows monitor settings. The driver also supports a new SDK feature: the Oculus Rift screen can be mirrored to a window on an external monitor.

I like this a lot. The previous approach was cumbersome.

If you want, I could take good care of it while you're on vacation =)

About that safety warning: will it pop up on every application like the Wii Remote warning back in the days lol?

Probably. It's part of the SDK. Of course a developer could easily disable it, but I don't think anyone wants to open themselves up to lawsuits.

Pixel boundaries are definitely noticeable, probably still too much for mass market. I find them acceptable, but then again I'm an early adopter.

I expected screen door to still be there, but for me its not really a problem. If the content is good one will not focus on the black line inbetween the pixels.

Once I'm back from vacation this is gonna be great! Have fun the meantime!

Still a massive improvement from DK1, though. Looks good.

Jumps in resolution are going to be more impactful so close up. I think 1440p is going to be plenty good enough for most people.

I ordered on Mar 19, 2014 01:55 PM PDT

Just changed to Processing.

As a 3D artist, VR will allow me to actually enter the scenes I create and explore them in a whole new way. So excited.

Mine is predicted for delivery to the U.S. on Tuesday, on its way from Ontario now. :D I know there will still be screen door, but sankao it's nice to see it not so obvious in that screenshot this time around!

Assuming you had a DK1, how does the latency and positional tracking in DK2 compare? Does it make it a little better / a lot better?
