Does Virtual Reality/Oculus Rift still work in Second Life?

Yes, Oculus Rift works.  No, you don't need it.  (Very few people have it, in fact.) No, AFAIK, you can't use other Oculus lookalikes.

I don't believe that it works properly.

 

I have the Oculus DK2 headset and it doesn't launch at all.

 

The error that I get is that my graphics card can't handle it... However, my card is the latest and greatest and I'm using Windows10 for an OS.

 

I would like some proof it works on a modern system.

Let me know, -Hose99

The problem could be Windows 10. The beta viewer for Oculus DK2 was released in 2014, well before Windows 10 was available. I'm just guessing, but I suspect that the graphics drivers for Windows 10 are not compatible with the Oculus in SL.

Hi there. I don't think so ... the error code is that my hardware isn't fast enough but I have the recommended specs for Oculus ... I thought millions of people used second life.

 

I thought as least hundreds were using DK2 ... but, I think the platform will be superseded unless the hardware is adopted. Why isn't there active development, with new code released at least quarterly? I guess I am saying that virtual reality will not truly work on second life (without hardware support). VR will have to develop elsewhere, I guess?

Does it work with OpenVR or HTC Vive? (I'm waiting to get my HTC this month). Please only try and help me if you actually own the hardware!

I have only met one person who ever used the Oculus Rift in SL. As far as I can tell, it's not a very popular option. All I can do is point you back to the specs and, as I said, guess that Windows 10 might be the problem. Sorry.
