USC Launches 3-D Printed VR Headset Library 25
Hesh writes "The University of Southern California has launched a website that contains the blueprints for many of their custom VR headsets as well as new mods to the much anticipated yet unreleased Oculus Rift. Some are helping push DIY VR forward through custom sensor mounts to support, for example, stereo cameras and others add more functionality like new eye cups to help increase the already large FOV of the headset. This is truly an exciting time for VR; by GDC, developers will already have Rifts in hand and tinkerers can 3D-print their own designs now as well!"

Tapping the resources of a group of enthusiasts will speed up the project and lower the costs (but not necessarily the price)</cynical_mode>

He's been doing that since getting mod-bombed a few months back. Ironically, his posts have been far less temperate since then, defeating the purpose of the 2 posts per day penalty of low karma accounts.

Sorry for feeding this one, I wasn't aware of that...
Maybe he should update his HOSTS file and feel better then.

Not sure why anyone would care about the article. Nothing in it to indicate it's not 1997 with the whole VR thing. Crappy slashdot article as usual.

If my theories about Mr. Hosts are correct, it should be another week before he shows up, minimum.
I wasn't saying to feed or not feed Ethanol-Fueled. Heck, I'm not even saying he's a troll per se. He could be a bit abrasive at times, but a mod bombing down to two posts a day status? Ouch.

VR, when RR (Real Reality) isn't good enough! It's a Brave New World we're living in!
