Oculus ASW 2

Looks promising:

However would require significant effort from games that use custom engines, like our combat flight sims.

For those that do support it, sounds like would provide a better experience at lower framerates.

So long as the depth buffer is available already (and I think this is the case), ASW 2 should be either in without any effort from the devs or with minimal effort.

I was just about to make a post about this. it looks like the game will need to provide oculus with a "depth feed" value.

The caveat to ASW 2.0 however is that it requires the app to submit its depth feed, whereas ASW 1.0 worked without any developer support needed. 

 

 

I am hoping that if this is implemented it finally gets rid of the prop artifacts we tend to see when ASW kicks in.
