When talking about technologies like virtual reality, usually we like to speak about hardware, software and other technological features, but actually it is also interesting to talk also about all the rest that is around these technologies, about the human factor around them.

Most VR developers obviously can't actively support every possible controller though, so SteamVR has a robust controller input binding system to allow users to create bindings for different games and share them on Steam Workshop. Improved performance of workshop binding loading. The binding UI's style has been refreshed.

But at the world’s first #BuildYourNorthStar workshop, over 20 participants built their own open-source Project North Star headsets in just 48 hours – using components now available to everyone. The workshop took place in Sunnyvale, CA, just after AWE. The workshop was “epic,” says Noah. It was hosted by Polaris AR.

A lengthy Zoom meeting took place late one evening in January, with a group of legendary hardware developers from a highly secretive outfit. As an alternative to injection molded casing controllers, my idea revolved around a “core” containing a Tundra SteamVR HDK (hardware development kit) and a slim lithium-ion battery pack.

From the mouse and touchscreen, to hand tracking platforms like the Leap Motion Controller, the design of UI elements like the humble button is shaped by the hardware and how we use it. Here’s a quick guide to designing buttons and other UI elements for VR, based on our Unity Widgets. Everything Should Be Reactive.

You may think that so they want to launch the PSVR 2 before the PS5, and it may be, but actually, if this device truly wants to be next-gen, it can’t be compatible with the rather old hardware of PS4. Unity changes how it handles XR Plugins. So sad for me, considering the 5 years I’ve spent using Vuforia in Unity… so many memories….

My advice for aspiring VR creators (young and old) is to experiment with as many different creation tools as possible (Tiltbrush, Unity, 360 video, photogrammetry) and see what grabs you! I do believe that the VR we experience now will be seen as clunky hardware middle-men to our senses.

And the price of the wireless add-on is even more suspicious: speaking with a hardware manufacturer, they told me that ONLY THE ANTENNAS of a Wi-Gig connection for VR streaming (like the one of the Vive Pro) costs around $100… so how can the whole wireless streaming device cost just $50??
