can't wait to run it on a 20Mhz z80 ! impressive stuff !

[@CNLohr]

Soon.... :-p

[@joejia1410]

@@CNLohr I think we should run it on a IBM PC junior first

[@lmcgregoruk]

I always though "knot in 3D" on the zx spectrum was pretty neat.

[@OzzyBearMusic]

After watching every single livestream, it’s so awesome seeing you being able to do this. Keep up the amazing work Charles!! Seriously this is so cool

[@VKRenato]

For a moment I thought magic smoke coming out from that pi.

[@vkoskiv]

Incredible work! It's been super cool seeing this being created.

[@paiggey]

omg that experience looks trippy af

[@bend8246]

Epic, now if only i could make a Lighthouse compatible openVr controller with a Pi

[@argentinavr]

I was folowing the proccess since the last month, I do not understand that much of this but I can realize clearly that is an amazing advance

[@CNLohr]

The only real takeaway is: Raspberry Pi video game vive, can watch video game on TV wirelessly.

[@hynekchovan3951]

Wow, this is unbelivable, imagine thin on something like the odoid n2+, that's comparable to oculus quest gen 1 and it's been only a few year since the release. GOOD JOB

[@CNLohr]

Thanks

[@shinevisionsv]

Amazing!

[@0maxekinge0]

Nice work!

[@SinanAkkoyun]

Do it on a Pi 4

[@ameliabuns4058]

what about the raspberry pi 4. I wonder if it can be used to copmress and decode the video being sent from a PC like the quest 2 does.

[@VoidMoth]

fucking amazing my dude! you should try something by hardkernel's odroid if you want an sbc that actually has a decent amount of horsepower and just as well supported as the raspberry pi I dont know if you need horsepower though.... anyways if you do look it up

[@CNLohr]

More horsepower means less fun! Gotta be ridiculous.

[@pikachuthebirb9448]

Can it play other games at low settings like beat saber.

[@CNLohr]

No.

[@setyourhandle467]

What's the quality like?

[@CNLohr]

Click the follow-on video to see.

[@joejia1410]

BUT HOW

[@ProgramAndNectar]

How?

[@Projekt_Nightmare]

There is a new pi

[@CNLohr]

I will leave it to the next generation of VR hackers.

[@shunyatadano1062]

Did you use base station then?

[@CNLohr]

yep

[@hariharanraghavan7567]

Hi @CNLohr I tried to connect the HTC VIVE VR headsets to RPi3 (Raspbian) and yet failed to establish communication. Can you help me out to understand why my method failed?

[@CNLohr]

you *must* use the copy of config.txt and modify your rc.local to set mode after boot. Additionally, you must use very short cables, as the pixel clock is so high.

[@hariharanraghavan7567]

@@CNLohr Hiii..!!! Is there a separate forum that you have where we can discuss about this in detail?

[@MaxenceThePotato]

Ohh imagine if u can idk DUCK TAPE it to the headset with a batterie then it’s like a quest 2

[@CNLohr]

Look up my other pive videos. I did!

[@L1Q]

But there is no lens compensating distortion filter. Is it out of the budget on this hardware?

[@CNLohr]

There is!!! It's in the vertex shader!

[@L1Q]

wow so after watching second video I realize that shader probably doesn't apply on the tv?

[@CNLohr]

I think it does... I'm not able to get a 100% rectilinear conversion, but that's mostly cause I don't know what I'm doing >.
