Links

• oculus.com -- the main Oculus Rift page. Not really much use to us, as it is now almost exclusievly devoted to the commercial (i.e. non-development) product.
• Oculus Runtime for OS X -- I think you may need to download and install this to run the Max/MSP oculus object, but I'm not sure. It doesn't hurt to have it in place. NOTE: if you can't get this (i.e. Oculus takes the site down), let me know. I have a copy of it.
• Oculus 0.5.0.1 SDK -- I don't think you need this, but there is some good info inside if you start doing extended development. It unpacks to an "OculusSDK" folder. It looks like it also has the "Oculus Runtime for OS X" included in it (the one linked above), so it's a little redundant. Oh well, you can get it here! The "OculusWorldDemo.app" is truly fun. I've linked it separately here:
• OculusWorldDemo.app.zip -- unpack it to "OculusWorldDemo.app". This is the little Tuscan farmhouse you can walk around.
• oculus Max/MSP object -- Graham Wakefield's [oculus] object for Max/MSP. Follow his directions for setting it up (note the "Download ZIP" button at the upper-right of the github page if you're not sure what he means by "download the repository". Also, if you have the Oculus Runtime installed from above, you don't need to do the "Install the LibOVR 0.4.4 runtime/driver from Oculus" step, or much of the other stuff.

  The oculus.maxhelp patcher is the one with the cubes flying around the pyramid.

Class Downloads

• week11-patches.zip -- The class patches. The basic* patches run through setting up a simple OpenGL (jit.gl...) torus, the oculusfun* patches take that into the oculus world. Soundfiles that I use for the oculus world sound-proximity stuff are included (hello1.aif, testest1.aif, whaddlisay1.aif, life1.aif) as well as the javascript files (distamp*.js) for computing the distance/amp multipliers for the audio.
