Oculus Rift Fullscreen

Hi all. We have just started using our Oculus Rift with Vizard code, and I'm trying to understand a full screen rendering issue.

If i run a basic environment script with the Oculus:

################
import oculus
import viz
import vizact

hmd = oculus.Rift()
sensor = hmd.getSensor()
viz.link(hmd.getSensor(), viz.MainView)
#vizact.onkeydown('r',sensor.reset)

viz.go()

floor = viz.add('ground.osgb')

################

and maximize the view window manually (Windows Key + ↑), the frame rate and overall experience during head rotation is very smooth. However, if I use the same script, and instead start the rendering environment with viz.go(viz.FULLSCREEN), the world becomes a great deal more choppy.

Moving to full screen manually isn't a major issue, but is there a way to smooth out the viz.go(viz.FULLSCREEN) option? Maybe my code isn't organized properly, or I'm missing an option.

We are running an i7-2600 with a gtx 580, so I can't imagine it's a hardware limitation for rendering such a simple environment.

If you don't connect to the sensor do you still get choppy results with rotations?
Code:
import viz
import oculus
import vizcam

viz.go(viz.FULLSCREEN)
hmd = oculus.Rift()
piazza = viz.add('piazza.osgb')
vizcam.PivotAnimate(pivot=[0,1.8,0])
What is the framerate when you have this rendering issue (press F4 with script running)? Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics card?

Jeff,

I re-ran everything today, and the issue seems to have spontaneously resolved. Locked at 60FPS (with vsync enabled) regardless of how I start it now.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi everybody,

I have the same issue...

Do you have any idea on how it was solved?

I go from 60fps to ~20 to 30 fps when on fullscreen...

Best,
Marco

sorry, it's not quite the same error...

I have a decrease of FPS and user experience when I fullscreen the scene, disregarding of how the fullscreen is triggered...

Do you think it is a hardware issue? I have a nVidea Quadro FX 580 and I'm rendering the piazza with an HD avatar.

What are your update/cull/draw/GPU times? You can check by pressing F4 twice. If your GPU takes more than 16ms to render a frame, framerate will decrease. If that's the case then I'd suspect your graphics card is indeed not fast enough.

Hi,

I think it is indeed an hardware issue.

When I run it on the production computer, I achieve 60FPS. Only in the development computer I got the 30~40FPS.

Thanks all,
Marco
