compatibility between oculus rift DK2 and Vizard 4

[armo]

Hi,


I read elsewhere that Oculus Rift DK2 is supported only by Vizard 5, so I was wondering if worldviz has planned to make in future oculus DK2 compatible also with older vizard 4.x versions



regards,

The DK2 is only supported in Vizard 5. It will not be supported in older versions of Vizard.

Hello,

Can anyone help as regards the Error Window I encounter?
"Incompatible VR Runtime version"

winviz.exe has been linked with an older,unsupported version of the Oculus Runtime and is no longersupported.
The application may appear to be in VR mode but it will not be able to output to the Rift.
Please contact the developper for an updated version of this application

What versions of Vizard and the Oculus runtime do you have installed? Make sure you have Vizard 5. Currently, the latest Oculus runtime is not compatible with Vizard and we recommend running version 0.5.0.1

Are there plans to update WorldViz to support Oculus runtime 0.7.0 and future versions?

I am running Vizard 5.2 and Oculus runtime 0.7.0 and get the same problem as pmsgeo. Direct Driver mode requires an update by Oculus utilizing programs, like Vizard, to support:
Oculus Update Blog (https://developer.oculus.com/blog/upcoming-oculus-pc-sdk-0-7-compatibility-changes/)

The new functionality would be welcome. Our system is also used for other programs that utilize the latest Oculus runtime, thus having to reinstall an old runtime every time we want to use Vizard is an issue.

Currently Vizard is not compatible with Oculus Runtime 0.7. We do plan to support it in the future.
