Managing the GameBecause I was totally unaware but pleasantly surprised to see Microsoft announce its Dev Kits for the Hololens will be coming in January for the tune of $3000. Support for US and Canada only at the moment but there are always work arounds. Painful work arounds but hey if it gets my hands on a […]
I am really looking forward to scanning environments in 3D and also shooting them in 3D 360 video. I really like the idea of having both as options for my work. Being able to step into a space and get all the footage I need and reference to take away is awesome. I think it […]
Was able to get the tracker working with a fix to the drivers. So we have a mostly fully operational battle station. Still have a few pieces of software to install but was able to test out the leap motion and the Oculus. Mostly novelty stuff I have seen so far. Really hoping to find […]
Because it would be too easy if everything was plug and play we spent most of our first day trying to solve what seems like a pretty common problem of the tracker not being identified. Sadly there appears to be no one solution for this problem and all of our attempts using what others have […]
I don’t know which gods I need to leave tribute around here in order to get my supplies. Somehow I still wait for computer, monitor and slew of other items in order to R&D and develop. I believe the gods are laughing at me and all I feel like is the Hulk screaming in frustration. […]
Well while I wait impatiently for other things to arrive I can at least rejoice in the fact that I will get to unbox the Leap Motion and the VR Workstation today. Hopefully the monitor will arrive as well. We will see. Looking forward to what fun and wacky things we can develop with the […]
I am expecting some cool stuff soon but soon is not now and it is not here. Everything takes forever to get here. Since everything is mostly imported it takes time. Add in that nobody is actually in a rush to get you what you need it is a little frustrating. The concept of rush […]
It is always fun to get other people to try VR devices and see their reactions. Watching their movements and how they observe their world while in the device is great. I let a few people try out 3 different experiences in the Gear VR to give them a sample of the types of experiences […]
Got in a few hours of time on the Gear VR. I have to say the quality is a good bit of a jump over Google Cardboard. i sampled a bunch of the apps that arent on cardboard a long with ones that are on both. The experience is a lot more immersive. They have […]
It is often reported that Virtual Reality is isolating and not a social or shared experience. Well this is a great example of people interacting in a shared space with the wonders of VR. Awesome work. Just shows the beginnings of where this tech is going and sooner than people think.
