Just tried Oculus Rift Dev Kit 2, and I have to say, the image quality is pretty terrible. 1080p is not enough. Not even close. It took me a while to figure out what I was looking at, but you can see the individual pixels of the screen. It's like pressing your face against an old sdtv and seeing the gaps between the pixels. Maybe Morpheus has comfort figured out. Oculus DK2 does not. It's really uncomfortable, and awkward to adjust. It never felt comfortable to wear. If the thing isn't sitting perfectly so your eye is in line with the centre of the lens, it distorts the image. Nothing ever really seemed very sharp to me. I did the eye adjustment thing in the config tool just as it said to, but if text went too far to the edge of the screen it would blur. It's like having things blur before it normally would in your peripheral vision. It really does give you the impression that you're in that place, but the image quality just isn't good enough to make it really feel like you're there. That and the head mapping has to get a lot better. When you turn your head and the camera doesn't move as much as you feel like it should, it really throws you off. I've gone from being very excited about the tech to being a big time skeptic. There is an absolutely huge way to go. Maybe Morpheus will do it, but I think we'll need much much more powerful computers with higher resolution displays to get it right.
Edit: Also, chromatic abberation is a huge issue. These lenses make the edges of anything white turn into a rainbow. I have another three or four days with it to figure out the nitty gritty.
