KRPANO + Oculus VR requirements

My client has purchased a Rift headset and now wants to show their virtual tour in VR using a laptop at the fair.(They don't want cardboard and insist on Rift) I'm aware of Rift's system requirements but do you need to have a powerful PC just to view the tour? I'd imagine not since we were fine with DK2 when it was the only thing available and it's just WebVR...

I'd love a confirmation before purchasing a laptop myself... Should a $700-$800 laptop be able to handle simple VR tour using Oculus Rift?

Thanks!

Yes, should be fine. Here's a good thread from last year dealing with the Rift. There are others as well:

Hi,

for krpano itself the hardware doesn't matter - it's the browser and the Oculus drivers that want or need something specific.

About 'laptop usage' - make sure that the Oculus could be connected! So far I know most laptops are not supported because of a not directly wired hdmi-output-port and too low graphics performance.

For Oculus Rift or HTC Vive WebVR usage basically just use the special WebVR builds of Chromium or Firefox.

Best regards,
