Road to VR

MAY 9, 2018

Eye-tracking has been talked about with regards to VR as a distant technology for many years, but developments from companies across the industry have shown promising progress in precision, latency, robustness, and cost. The hardware is becoming increasingly available to developers and researchers.

Dinosaur kicking for $300 is certainly funny, but it’s also a great example of a broad effort by developers and hardware manufacturers to make virtual worlds more responsive to human behavior. Social interaction in VR with current consumer technology is fairly awkward. FOVE is distributing a eye-tracking headset too.

VR is a demanding process and it’s on GPU manufacturers to provide hardware for consumers that provide believable experiences not just in visual fidelity but also framerate and performance. Companies are starting to dabble with foveated rendering but we only have eye-tracking in one VR headset, FOVE. Was he right?: Absolutely.

Meaning, that the only way we, as content creators, can produce the kind of content we desire, is to work to create the hardware or software solutions as we go. Along with the emergence of the VR industry, a slew of gadgets and supplementary hardware devices have begun to flood in. The hardware still has room to improve.
