So all that talk of "i could walk around like a lucid dream" that was just the latest rift implementation

You might be right, but I can assure you that what you've linked to does not in anyway support your assertion.

[zella]

You mean regarding their headset and the whole lucid dream thing? Yeah I guess that was a bit of an inference, Joe Ludwig probably does have some beast DIY gear of his own

[blazespinnaker]

That the prototype was owned by OVR rather than Valve.

A more direct link to the slides which also contain the text of the talk. A very interesting and relevant speech, plus you get to see what the Valve VR hardware actually looks like.
