SEPTEMBER 1, 2022

You’ve got these avatars and these virtual worlds and something just really grabbed me about a future in VR. I was lucky enough to get a job at UC Santa Barbara in a combination social psychology lab and computer science hub , where we were using VR to run experiments, to simulate the social world. This is 1999.

Maybe the highlight of today is that the company is releasing VRWorks Audio and 360 Video software development kits. So lets recap all that came to our knowledge today: VRWorks is a comprehensive suite of APIs, libraries, and engines that enable application and headset developers to create amazing virtual reality experiences.

We started working really early on with the DK-1 from Kickstarter, testing, playing around with Unity, seeing what we could do, up to now where we're easily 200+ commercially funded, brand funded XR experiences. And that that, I think, is one step closer to a sustainable world. They make Eve Online.

Or is this taken from like a 360 video type of thing? So like I said, we have about ten pieces of equipment right now, and we just have 3D models of those, where people can walk around them virtually and see how big they are, put them to actual size or as close as I could get to actual size, by my recollection of them.

There was something called people avatars and virtual worlds, that was very popular around 2007. So you don’t know anything about coding, Unity, Unreal. Alan: So how do you then get people to learn how to do Unreal and Unity without teaching them? So the traditional way to do it is to use Unreal or Unity.

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.

AI, music, and VR creation tools collide in this beautiful 360° video. Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality are two of the most compelling and fastest growing sectors in today’s technological landscape. I just had to press play, and the scene would appear around me and my virtual monitor.

This feature is not available yet at the system level, but it is incredibly useful to merge the real and virtual world, because it allows you to have an always updated reconstruction of your room space. Ive seen the video of it and I have been impressed by this work. at 60fps, or 4K at 100fps.

We chose VRChat as a platform because it was the one we were the most confident in (we made all our biggest projects there), because it is one of the most powerful and versatile , and also it let us use Unity, a game engine we all knew very well. We started assembling the scene in Unity. They will also arrive in the virtual world.

I picked Unity as the game engine because it is one of the best ones out there, I’m good at using it, it has a great community that can support you in case of issues, and it is also the first engine to be compatible with XR headsets when they’re out: Apple itself talked about Unity during the announcement of the Vision Pro.

There is also a new emulator where to test the experiences Unity developers can use the “Unity OpenXR: Android XR” package together with the usual tools like the XR Interaction Toolkit, Unity XR, and AR Foundation to create XR experiences. You need the latest Unity 6 to develop this new platform.

A bit like what happened with Henry ported from PC to Oculus Go by John Carmack: he used a special encoding of 5K 360 video and the experience is similar to the realtime UE4 experience on PC, even if at the same time it is completely different. For instance, in Unity, the Oculus Utilities plugin is the same for PC, Go and GearVR.

I tell you that a traditional cinematographer should have a really open-minded approach to understand 360 videos because the first rule is to ignore the frame. The tools that I usually use are Adobe Premier Pro, Adobe After Effects, Blender , Maya, Unity , Unreal. It depends on who am I working with. Why do you think it?
