Eprime in the oculus rift: is it possible to run an experiment in windowed mode ?

[Clément Letesson]

Hi there,

We are trying to run an experiment in the oculus rift (virtual reality goggles). To do so, we have a software that send the to-be-displayed image to both lens similarily. But, in order to work, the to-be-displayed content cannot be in full screen or it'll make the software to crash. Is it possible to run an experiment in windowed mode ?

Thanks in advance for you help,

All the best,

CL

Did you ever figure out a way of forcing it to run in windowed mode?

Hi,

If memory serves, running experiments in windowed mode is a feature request for upcoming E-Prime versions (I suppose E-Prime 3). That would mean it’s not available in the current version. I have done and am doing some work with the Rift, but never with E-Prime. Then again, the point of head mounted displays and virtual reality is mainly in 3-D – why else would you need the Rift – for which E-Prime has virtually no capabilities on its own. My suggestion is to look for alternatives, such as the Unity framework (http://unity3d.com/). This is free, but does require quite some programming skills.

However, if you must, you could always render two images from within e-prime to a single screen and use the rift’s screen instead – it shows the bootup screen just fine, so clearly it should also do anything you have in e-prime?

Best,

Michiel

Many thanks for your comments and this is exactly what we did (we used two images that we transformed with stereoscopic player, into a single image display in E-Prime). We did this to avoid changing the experimental setup during the experiment !
