Detailed First Day Guide to the Oculus Rift CV1 - Hardware, Software, Games

The CV1 Oculus Rift arrived today (launch day in the US, March 28th) and I got a signed note from the founders since I had backed the original Kickstarter project in August 2012. I do a quick unboxing, update my vr ready laptop drivers and plugin the Rift HMD and Camera. From there I tried out Lucky’s Tale and some other Day 1 experiences and share my thoughts. A few tips…

-Wash your forehead before playing
- Consider getting a shorter haircut
- Hold the tiny button on the Xbone and USB wireless dongle for a few seconds to get them to recognize each other
- Pull (incredibly hard) to get the little plastic tab out of the Oculus remote, maybe wash your hands and dry them first so you can get a good grip... it's really stuck in there good ;)

Unfortunately it does not appear that there will be room in the Oculus Rift box for motion controllers down the road…

- I like that the CV1 Rift strap doesn’t touch and squish your ears
- You need a lot of clearance side to side on one USB 3.0 port in order to fit the Xbox One wireless dongle (but they do include a short extension cord to help make it fit)
- It didn’t work super well with my glasses on
- I couldn’t figure out if there was a way to adjust sharpness like on the GearVR and DK1 and DK2
- Lucky’s Tale feels like the Winnie the Pooh ride at Disneyland and Disney World, going into the fox holes feels like Mario going into the pipes
- Using the Oculus Rift and virtual reality made my neck and back feel good compared to looking down at a laptop screen
- The Rift is environmentally friendly, it let’s you explore the world without using energy to move body there
