So to assist those looking to take advantage of this desperate thirst for VR and AR developers, massively popular cross-platform game engine Unity has teamed up with celebrated online learning company Udacity to create their VR Developer Nanodegree Program as well as their all-new Learn ARkit Nanodegree Foundations Program.
Today I want to propose you a quick solution for one big problem of the Vive Focus apps: the controller pairing popup always appearing in front of your eyes. If you don’t do it, the controller becomes simply unusable, because there is no relation between what you are pointing at physically and what you are aiming virtually.
View your 360° video projects in realtime on a HTC Vive. In a trio of announcements, Apple revealed that Valve would be bringing SteamVR and HTC Vive to the new iMac, Unity and Unreal Engine were coming to Mac, and Final Cut Pro X would finally support VR video editing. Final Cut Pro X 10.4
Unity Technologies presented their Special Keynote at GDC 2017 in San Francisco on February 28, announcing the release date of Unity 5.6 alongside a bulletin of other updates, including a glimpse of Unity 2017. Riccitiello explained that this installment marks the last of Unity 5. The Unity 5 cycle culminating in 5.6
Over the years, they considered 360video marketing, VR entertainment booths, and training simulations before settling on XR tools to aid with research. Since virtual mock-ups are customizable and controllable, they can make quick changes to testing environments. XpertVR was founded by Drew MacNeil and Evan Sitler.
While VR video portals like Jaunt , Littlstar , Samsung VR , and others offer a single destination from which to stream many different 360 and VR videos, another popular way to distribute VR video has been as a standalone app, offering more complete control over the experience by the creator.
And all of this using Unity, the tool that I already use every day. This would have been the “main” concert hall, where we would have controlled all the execution for a perfect concert experience; All the other people in VRChat would have accessed automated worlds with live music. Streaming the background videos.
Without using Vive Trackers or other sensors, they try to reconstruct the pose of the full body of the users by just using the pose of the headset and the two controllers. The very original idea is that among these 4 arms, two are controlled by you (with your controllers) and the other two are controlled by the other player.
Escape Code is a 360-degree short film directed and animated by Josh Hassin and the San Diego, CA based studio, Look Mister that seems inspired by many of these ideas. The entire short film, embedded below, was created in Unity and is driven by a synthwave soundtrack scored by Emmy award winning composer RAD LAZER (aka Rafter Roberts).
If I picked roomscale then it had me point the headset at the screen (cameras facing out) and then trace the entire room, just like I’d do with the motion controllers for a Rift or Vive. If I press the Windows button on the keyboard or the center Xbox button on my controller then it brings up a Start menu-style interface (shown above.)
Also noteworthy: Final Cut Pro X will be able to support 360video editing, Unity and Unreal now have VR support for Macs, and SteamVR is coming to Mac… and although there was a sweet on-stage mixed reality demo using Star Wars assets and an HTC Vive, there was no mention of support for Oculus.
And while this is anyway a good result for a startup (developing an AR headsets means spending billions in R&D), targeting the consumer market has been a suicide move , that let Microsoft get full control of the profitable enterprise market. Unity’s HDRP is now VR-compatible. Very good news for all us Unity VR developers.
Actually, there is no much more to say apart from what we already knew about the Index : the visuals are astonishing, especially because of the 120 Hz refresh rate; the audio is a next-gen one; the controllers allow for a new kind of interactions; the headset is very comfortable; there is a very handful guide on how to setup it on Steam website.
Just as Unity and Unreal are able to create 3D sound environments for interactive games, Dolby Atmos has an ProTools plug-in with a 3D interface that allows you to mix 3D audio objects for narrative, 360-video content. LISTEN TO THE VOICES OF VR PODCAST.
Development — Get hands-on training for how to build the world’s best VR applications, from tutorials covering the latest Oculus Mobile and PC SDKs, to workshops on top game engines including Unity and Unreal. Explore the endless possibilities for VR across 360video, film, art, and education.
Even from one motion controller to the next, VR interface designs don’t agree on the best way to pick up and hold virtual objects. Immersive content agency Purple Pill has announced a VR interface design competition and is offering $10,000 in cash prizes to those who create the best virtual reality interfaces.
Blortasia is his second public VR art piece, arriving a few months after the pre-rendered 3D 360video Zen Parade for Gear VR. Even the platform below your feet shifts in color and shape. To learn more about the nuts and bolts of the experience, I spoke with Kevin Mack about how it was made.
In a January 26th blog update , Unity announced the latest features released with Unity 2018.1 that enables stereo image and video capture natively in Unity. Here we're using the Example Project when installing Unity, which you can select as a component. Now trying this feature out: 1.
After a quick tutorial on how teleportation and avatar controls worked, we moved our characters over to a small floating island depicting a scene from Cloudlands VR Minigolf and teleported in to launch the game. Todd Hooper: We have an SDK for Unity and Unreal 4. Road to VR: How does a developer make a game work with VREAL?
These developers make impressive 360videos like their Strictly Come Dancing footage, immersive experiences like the enjoyable Home , and artistic experiments like the one it created in partnership with popular singer, Björk. To do this, I’m simply looking at them and pulling triggers on a controller.
Today I'm guiding you through a Tilt Brush painting process of a peacock, and breaking down the controls and related software while I'm at it. Most of the tools listed here can be used on 360videos/images as well. Here is how to set up the camera for two 360 formats: monoscopic or stereoscopic. version for.
But what we proved with those is that you can have this small phone attachment and you can simply and easily capture, edit, and share photos and videos in 360 to social media without ever having to pull out the microSD card from your camera. But that would be even more so as we get eye-tracking involved. Is that correct? Alan: Minimum.

Inside, the content has no special arrangement : there is just the headset, plus a little box that contains some accessories: an instructions book, the charger, USB-C cable, earphones, a marvelously useless warranty & safety little book and of course the controller. Right view: here you control the audio of your experience.

Can you maybe explain to listeners who have never heard of Unreal — maybe they’ve heard of Epic Games and Fortnight, and they think “video games” or something like that — can you explain how the game engines, or the development engines, are being used to develop this type of content? Just just a quick overview.
Cortney Harding talks with Alan about how emerging tech, like VR and 360video, can help us all be a little kinder to one another. We just worked with Unity, building augmented reality projects. But then you put the controller down. And a lot of people — including myself — are not video gamers.

One of them is that I think they like to keep control, and so they make 3D models and then use them to make beautiful 2D renders, and they control how people are going to consume that content in 2D or videos. And so we already have a set of integrations with proprietary tools like Unity and Real Render and so on.
My last company… I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the big see-through touchscreen DJ controller emulator, but we made basically a touchscreen midi controller before there were touch screens in 2010. He took our midi controller and made a keyboard out of it, but it looked nothing like a keyboard at all. Blew my mind.
