In Response To: Re: People are gonna fall down a lot... (Mid7night)

: My brain didn't interpret what you said correctly. I 'heard' "You can
: only move in the direction you're looking", which I don't think you
: meant. :)

: I don't think I'd like camera-movement-locking, the way your third post
: describes, but they didn't really show how "aiming" really
: works; they just showed people walking around and looking around.

: Aiming a weapon, in real real life, involves moving your arms and your
: head - and even that is kinda oversimplifying it. If the OculusRift tracks
: your head movement, moving your virtual-head to mimic your real head,
: you're still free to let your eyes look around the "screen"
: world, as you would normally look around without actually moving your
: head. But if your "head movement" is what "aims" the
: reticle, I wonder about accuracy and ease of use without something
: physically in your hands to mimic holding and aiming a weapon.

: What if your "head movement" moved the gross viewpoint, and the
: right stick allowed you to control the finer "aiming" control,
: mimicking the finer control of aiming?

That's the general idea I was going for, but rather my idea was to let the retical be unaffected by the Rift and stay at one point in the 3-D space. Then the retical would be moved by the right thumb stick. However, let's say you wanted to "aim down sight," maybe then your head view will snap to the retical's position and you might control finer aiming with the rift...
