Last week we were super happy to notice an update to Oculus support in April. We pulled out the Oculus CV1 headset and set up a new laptop to try it out.
The Oculus is all set up and Psychtoolbox seems to connect but the demos exit out with some kind of complaint about having the wrong rect.
Below are two versions of the error from two different demos
Hope you can shed some light.
Cheers,
