Purchased. Great to see VR game innovation on HN. Nice work.

Which Brooks saddle do you recommend? I see there are a few variations available.

It’s likely the built-in display is also fractionally scaling. IIRC it has been that way by default for several generations of MBP now.

Really useful to hear about your experiences actually coding. None of the video reviews have touched on this, so thanks for that.

With regards the ‘smearing’, not sure how familiar you are with VR tech but, could you characterise it further?

Some things it may be off the top of my head:

Is it the display not switching pixel state fast enough? This was a problem with early Oculus headsets until we figured out how to strobe displays for ‘low persistence’.

Or, is it eye tracking lag, resulting in the foveated rendering not keeping up with where you are looking quickly enough? Human eyes can move extremely quickly from point-to-point (called saccades).

Be great to get your thoughts on the possible cause / tech limitations.

Is anyone else tired of the euphamisms SaaS companies and cloud providers use when they have an incident like this?

Whether it's, "experiencing technical difficulties", "Degraded performance", "Increased error rates", "Access will be delayed" or whatever - they all mean the same thing...

The service is down.

So why not just be straight with your customers?

Not a fan of the corp b.s. My 2p anyway.

(Context, for what it's worth: Paying Protonmail customer, on the 'visionary plan'.)

Sounds interesting! What were you using for the display processor?

Fascinating. Hadn’t thought about the pacing factor.

So given this is the case, how does any advertiser scale up their spending without getting disillusioned and abandoning FB ads?

What did you use for UI in the end?

I have wondered for a while if there is a market for a no-frills vehicle.

A modern engine and chassis, etc. but with minimal, tactile, and easily serviceable controls.
