Sorry if this comes off as a bit spammy I didn't see a place to post events so I stuck it in gaming, please move if this is the incorrect sub-forum, cheers


I'm demoing my Oculus Rift development kit (DK1) at the Meltdown gaming and e-sports bar on Caledonian Road in London, UK @ 7pm on Wednesday the 4th of December 2013.

So far I will be showing the following games
*Half Life 2 VR (new updated version)
*Euro Truck Simulator
*AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!
*Strike Suit
*Slender: The Arrival
*Quake 1 - for the older ones or anyone who really liked Quake 1
*War Thunder

...and the following tech demos and experiences
*Malfunction - you have a virtual body and can view yourself in a mirror, it's trippy!
*Rollercoaster
*Alone In The Rift
*Tuscany - The demo that comes with the Oculus Rift
*360 Degree video (using Making Viewer VR), where you get to experience a wingsuit video, a Formula 1 racing video and get to experience flying in a Stearman PT-17 cockpit.

I am as usual open to suggestions, however any games or demoes must have support 'built in' or downloaded as an extra, and not be using any drivers such as VorpX or VIREio Perception to 'hack' support in. This event looks like it's going to be quite busy so you may want to turn up fairly early. I'll be running the demo until closing at around midnight so there will be plenty of time for everyone to get multiple goes!

There will also of course be alcohol, pizza, video games and the other facilities of the bar available!

By Tube: Caledonian Road Tube Station is on the Piccadilly line (dark blue), take a right outside of the tube station and keep walking until you walk under a bridge. Keep going straight and you will reach Meltdown, it's about a 8 minute walk

If this is using the dev kit, I wouldn't be rushing out to see it any time soon. The image quality is shocking IMO and it's mainly a piece of concept hardware for developers to get to grips with programming.

It is low resolution but it's not as bad as that, I've done a few demos and people have really liked it.
