[@Serpher1]

That V-neck tan...

[@JustinVazquez1430]

Exactly what I said literally right before I read this

[@Serpher1]

Great minds think alike.

[@TheByzantineEmpire]

^^ that burn is perfect lol

[@Andytlp]

thats the first thing that caught everyones eyes. Unlike oculus. It still sucks and no major companies are into it.

[@TheByzantineEmpire]

so true lol

[@intox4953]

dat sunburn tho

[@ianklask]

Dat V neck sunburn

[@Santaslinger66]

OutlandishGorilla Dat V neck farmers sunburn

[@TheLoneWolf753]

Santaslinger66 KZbin is asking me if i want to translate "Dat"...

[@Aquaberrybackfist]

Santaslinger66 I don't think farmers wear v necks...

[@unboxtherapy]

Is VR ready for prime time?

[@tuffrcs]

Nope 😂

[@Helthurian]

I'm not sure if this is already possible or not, but for games not optimized for the Rift it would be cool just to use the Rift as a stationary screen because its a full surround method. Even if you cant move your head to move the camera it would still make for better immersion in games while not requiring having a big TV like we need now. I think watching movies with the Rift would be quite awesome too.

[@NoToeLong]

It would cause motion sickness though. If the screen takes up the entirety of your vision the brain doesn't have a reference point to confirm that it isn't moving. The brain sees movement but doesn't feel it, confusing it and causing motion sickness.

[@carlosewm]

NoToeLong We have a compensation from that in our auditory system, but yes, we would get dizzy.

[@Mources]

The VR cinema is awesome. When there's much higher resolutions I would love to play regular games there.

[@SANTARII]

I watched Gravity on a giant virtual curved screen, it was great. It was also in 3D which is cool because you get 0% cross-over with 3D movies on the Rift.

[@ckennedy0323]

NoToeLong You could, theoretically, make an executable that takes whatever game you wish to play and have skinned on a 'virtual tv' in a 'virtual livingroom'. If you enable head tracking and were able to look around your 'virtual livingroom' that might help compensate for the dizzying feeling. It's kind of asinine and ridiculous but, I think it would be a fun project just to see the effects. Perhaps if you are looking within a certain viewing window of the virtual tv, the tv will get larger or you could do something even more pointless and use a kinect camera to scan your actual living room, map it out in a 3d realm, skin it (probably best to do that yourself) or just have it as silhouettes, and boom you could be fully immersed in a virtual world that is based off the real world that is 3 feet in front of you already. The future is here people. Wake up and buy enough DK2's for your whole family.

[@DaCoder]

Videos of gameplay vs face cam wasnt synced too well...

[@kwest84]

"wow, I can see so much stuff" *looks straight into a wall*

[@Jottra]

LukeTechTips. My body is ready.

[@DMGinc77]

Mine isn't,this channel would overflow of Oculus videos.And it's boring

[@jakeofyo]

"The ting is" - Luke Omg... you're a beautiful man with beautiful words. HAVE MY BABY!

[@jakeofyo]

I'll let you touch my ting, because it's moist.

[@jakeofyo]

It's my Ting. What can I say?

[@nuclear804]

lol

[@jakeofyo]

Save some of my ting for Luke.

[@SolidUber]

Funny thing is "ting" actually means "thing" in Danish. That's my useless knowledge for you guys.

[@jesselong90]

I didn't have a DK1, but I got a DK2 and love it... I hope this REALLY takes off more then it already has!

[@ASNVR1]

Wow 9 long years have passed and now there's the quest 1,2,3 and pro. Also the valve index and HTC vive,pro.

[@jahstul]

Has the Week of Slickness begun?!?

[@niccolowalrond6189]

Indeed and it should be awesome.

[@Fuzzel]

The whaaaht?

[@notstorm208]

Squirtle update possibly?!

[@Iwekzy]

Please SAY that this is a DEVELOPER KIT, it's ment for developers not consumers, it's like buying a steam game in early access

[@SuzuQQ]

are you that stupid........? THink dumb ass DK 2....DK=DEV KIT LOL

[@NoOne-dj6rk]

I dont think he saw the big bold letters DK on the fucking thumbnail

[@sindrehansen256]

He knows it's a DK, he only meant that they should state it's not a finished product and that's its only for devs

[@NoOne-dj6rk]

He clearly said "Please say this is a Development Kit"

[@sindrehansen256]

I know. He knows it is a dk he just wants him to remind ppl that doesn't know

[@SpazzGibbon]

i have 3 screens and a display port spare, will i be able to use a hdmi/dp adapter for a rift?

[@Bobby.Kristensen]

The green roller coaster is called Helix and is a new REAL ride in Sweden, Gothenburg at Liseberg. It's awesome.

[@DigitalMonsters]

Ordered one 2 months ago, waiting eagerly for it to arrive hopefully sometime in September

[@GuyRandom]

Luke is awesome :D Great vid man!

[@Aimopotis]

As always good work

[@DanielDTUBWeinberger]

thanks for showing me ting, looks even better than my old H2O, but that coverage though XD

[@mtalha909]

Are you planning to make a review video on the new msi gt72?

[@RSpracticalshooting]

i love how luke's deep v shows off his sunburn line from his not as deep v.

[@blaskotron]

I wonder if you can turn off the sensors and use it for FPS gaming without giant monitors.

[@anduusDK]

Did the DK2 come with a audio-out (minijack) plug? Or do u have to have yet another cable hanging to the PC for audio?

[@gangsta97943]

Damn Luke that V-Neck tan.

[@wally19]

i preordered mine, and im still waiting. i really cant wait :(

[@kylewilson4721]

im looking forward to this hardware becoming more then what it already is... so i hope you guys keep making vids on this .. haha nice tan slick

[@TheLakeBodom]

Luke, that is some wicked sunburn

[@NFS5600]

How does this impact performance?

[@thondupandrugtsang]

Have you checked out Scardeep. It looks beautiful on the oculus

[@spamrundie]

bro 8 years ago how

[@SonicFan535]

Why didn't you play the in-game footage in real-time with the reactions? :C

[@jackdckr]

so i can mount my leap motion with it?

[@3505nr]

I must now try the kokiri demo, it wasn't updated for DK 2 when we got ours, but it's updated now! :D

[@McFlubin]

and Luketechtips begins!!!!!!!

[@Xhanoir]

I need to know which GPU is required to do a flawless inmersive experience, a 780?

[@Apansyy]

Slick is featuring some sweet v-neck sunburn!

[@jamesdk5417]

3 to 4 years this thing will be wild.

[@sergnoff94]

What was the game in the top left corner. with the roller coasters?

[@anikeshk]

yayy...you updated the outro vids...:P

[@PetarStamenkovic]

Can you share your experience with what sort of GPU is preferable to Oculus? Does it matter if its green or red?

[@christ3039]

Nice sunburn dude!

[@TheDeadxanimal]

is the logitech m705 marathon wireless mouse good for gaming?

[@TheIndieGameDev]

Why is there no counterweight on the back? I don't get this? One that should be rigidly connected to the front eyepiece to balance the weight across your head

[@wck]

is Ting available in Canada now?

[@ZarkowsWorld]

You can only get out of tracking range in a seated setup if you put the camera ontop of a monitor and then sit at the table. Move the chair back 1.5m and you have a LOT more space to move in.

[@aaronramirez4248]

@linustechtips Do you always upload video in 12am?

[@davidnaber4325]

So I'm looking to buy a new laptop. I will not be using it for gaming at all. However, I do a lot of programming and sometimes need to run multiple virtual machines at once. What would you recommend for processor/RAM configuration? In my case, would the price difference between an i5 and i7 processor be worth the performance benefits?

[@jrizzlaa]

I noticed the oculus videos weren't synced, or am I wrong?

[@webfish69]

Have a dk2 and love it. Elite Dangerous is unreal.

[@nicknack125]

I'm saving up for the final product.

[@Chiquelhotdb]

after watching this video and seeing the improvements that it needs to be a great product I wonder if the final "consumer" release is going to be afordable

[@TisMeBc]

sounds awesome, i just want an oculus as soon as possible

[@BenExell]

I've been using my DK2 for over a week now and its amazing. Played on a DK1 at uni and this is soooooooo much better. Regular consumers still need to wait but if you don't mind fixing stuff and a bit of messing about I highly recommend it if you are impatient :P

[@Kris2340k]

Wheres this amazon link thing?

[@wesleymitchell7858]

Definitely buy it! If you have the money, it is a big deal to give these guys support and feedback. It would enable them to make them better faster

[@Sengial]

Will the next Dev kit be wireless?

[@iAmplify7]

Nice V-Neck sunburn, Luke. :D

[@M3Busssin]

Cool sunburn Luke

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

u used wrong picture of pentile display ,it uses the note 3 displays which is the newer diamond matrix

[@benread2240]

i got dk1 cant wait for my dk2 :D

[@TheHubbeman]

I think I'll wait for the final version.

[@arnoldhilberink]

have you tried Eve Valkerie yet? for me it was by far the best VR experience so far. Since your seated in an cockpit i did not mind the joystick. it was real Immersive and realy made me feel like a space pilot.

[@Celestial_Emissary]

hi, I'm thinking of changing the fan on my corsair h60, and I was wondering if a noctua NF-F12 would be a good choice, or if there's anything better I could get. If someone could respond it would be appriciated :)

[@TheLocalMoonman]

Luketechtips week!

[@UddhavL]

that box was the controller for panel. and the only cable coming out of it was a LVDS cable in this version the Control Board is inside the unit thats why the two wires

[@darthstar18]

is this product glasses friendly?

[@kght222]

is it normal nvidia 3d compatable? i'm not worried so much about looking around or vr, a good 3d display would be nice, and this thing sits in the same price range.

[@RaaynML]

Is that OOT?

[@scarehorror98]

Congrats on the kid Linus! That means less sleep for you!

[@ozonorobotics1311]

i hope that the costumer version will run 4k coz everyone i talked with complained about resolution...

[@AlanKlughammer]

Ting only works in US?

[@Faizan1631]

i'll wait for the CV2

[@Coaster_Contrarian]

What ride sim is that?

[@Fandango2034]

Ting is the money. thanks dudes

[@FlamyCrab]

Great video! Described!

[@ManIkWeet]

You had to be sunburn for Luke Techtips didn't you? :P

[@PinkJello75]

i think that that tan line is amazing

[@randomminecraftperson3981]

I am considering an Oculus. Looks lile so much fun! I also find it quite funny that their sponser is not available where they are located. Ting is US only as of right now.

[@995RaZor]

Hey how is the Oculus Rift DK2 to people with glasses

[@matthewboutros4670]

It would have been nice if the video was synced with the tests

[@blackrippin]

Slick tech tips has begun

[@k__k___]

ALREADY GOT ONE!!

[@theHaziq991]

Does anyone know headphone that they use?

[@steamempire]

it kinda dosent seem like the oculus footage and the camera is synced up propperly

[@TallestGargoyle]

Were you using the right game footage there? Most of the time, people were turning their heads all around, but the footage on the screen looked really static...

[@ElkTasticSon]

Sweet sunburn there..

[@kidbest100]

Nice V-Neck Sunburn slick XD

[@cosmicalian]

for the DK3 they could use lg g3's 1440p screen instead of the 1080p note 3's screen

[@duff5000]

I'm really thinking of getting one but I might just wait for the CV since it shouldn't be too far away hopefully.

[@greglanciotti7235]

i'm waiting for the cv1. I think that will be better.

[@baileighblanchard3429]

How much do you think it will be

[@greglanciotti7235]

around 300?

[@ZarkowsWorld]

300-350, and release in late 2015 most likely.

[@andyb2341]

nice sunburn!

[@destroyer28100]

Nice sunburn slick. I feel the pain too (I live I BC)

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

yay finally Luke tech tips

[@SmokieBowls]

Great video, but a couple things. The camera actually has a quite enormous range, it's just that people are placing it too close. Check out RoadtoVR's recent video showing just how big the detection area is when you're at a proper distance (you can stand up, walk around a little bit, lay on the ground and it never loses detection). If you're closer than five feet, you'll run into issues frequently. Another thing is Oculus came out and said you should not add any extension cables to the Rift as this adds additional latency. Other than that, sweet video.

[@tmh2duggy]

Is it bad I want dk1 instead of dk2 because it has a full on genuine case instead of a box

[@greglanciotti7235]

yes. it demonstrates that you don't quite understand the full implications of VR

[@AwayToHit]

that neck sunburn :O

[@rucdoc]

Haivng gotten to use the DK2 it is a massive jump from dk1. but I'm still holding out for the consumer version

[@gabrielblanco8268]

That V-Neck tan though...

[@unheimliche9410]

bit sunburnt there slick

[@parufagr]

id buy that

[@hyruruins]

VR technology has come a long way, I'd really enjoy seeing what LTT thinks of the new technology coming out in 2016 :D

[@aro3636]

yes

[@StickyJalapeno]

can i use this for Skyrim or fallout

[@hoftos]

with vorpX you can

[@StickyJalapeno]

how about enb, and texture mods?

[@StickyJalapeno]

im just wondering because im aboutto order one

[@Korkinmaenkikkeli]

StickyJalapeno buy it later dont buy the dev kit

[@21EC]

i know that vireio perception 3d drivers (which is free unlike vorpX) are working now on a support for DK2...and they have skyrim support for DK1..so we can expect that game to be supported on their next update for DK2 aswell.

[@Matt561]

I've been on that ride for real
