Today, Oculus was granted a patent for a new method of moving around in a virtualenvironment that is more “natural and intuitive” to the user than teleporting – which has been an industry standard until now. One embodiment of the method was shown with a smartphone head-mounteddisplay which can track hand movements.
Woosung explained that during this period, Skonec “gained extensive know-how in virtualenvironment optimization and UX design tailored specifically for VR.” ” Woosung added: HMDs (Head-MountedDisplays) come with various specifications and operating systems.
Thanks to NVIDIA CloudXR SDK kit, users will be able to enjoy VR, AR, and MR experiences at the highest definition of graphics and sound on head-mounted devices or mobile devices. They will have complete freedom of movement to explore the virtualenvironment, because they won’t need to connect their devices to a computer by cables.
The findings suggest that patients are confident to talk to therapists in a virtualenvironment, because they do not feel judged. To create this experiment, the researchers created a Multi-User Virtual Reality (MUVR) environment, where the participants could create their avatar. Behind the Scenes of the VRET Experiment .
The Facebook team articulated a distinction between lightweight AR, requiring only your smartphone and available today, and ‘full AR,’ requiring a headmounteddisplay, such as AR glasses. The Santa Cruz standalone VR unit that Oculus is working on was briefly mentioned but no new version of the prototype was shown.
Oculus Patents VR Movement System with Phone-Based HMD Today, Oculus was granted a patent for a new method of moving around in a virtualenvironment that is more “natural and intuitive” to the user than teleporting – which has been an industry standard until now.
When introducing Vision Pro at the WWDC event in June, Apple confirmed that its visionOS will support playing 3D versions of movies on a giant virtual screen. You can choose between your real room (optionally darkened) or a virtualenvironment. Example of a title with '3D' support listed for Vision Pro on Apple TV.
It allows users to interact with digital elements in their physical environment, making it particularly popular in applications like social media filters and eCommerce. In contrast, virtual reality immerses users in a completely virtualenvironment through headsets, enabling experiences that range from gaming to training simulations.
Or we can put on device on our head (a head-mounteddisplay or HMD) that completely occludes us from the real world allowing us to enter a completely simulated environment which we can walk around and interact in because the computer is sensing our physical actions: this is Virtual Reality or VR.
The degree of immersion in virtual reality vs augmented reality. In VR, the user is completely absorbed in a virtualenvironment and minimises boundaries and markers. The second sort of VR headset contains uses your phone and utilizes its display as its own.
The system is used for tracking movements inside virtual reality environments, and provides freedom of movement inside virtual reality environments, whether users are walking, running, crouching, turning and gesturing. At Miami University , the platform is used to create shared virtual spaces.
Examples of head measurements (Image by Rob Cole). Other examples are scuba diving masks or full-face motorcycle helmets, although neither of these have the added complication of housing a head-mounteddisplay that relies on a good fit for the correct optical presentation of the display to the eyes.
These systems run the gamut from mobile devices and HeadMountedDisplays (HMDs) such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and others, to research-specific spaces likes Cave Automatic VirtualEnvironments (CAVEs).
At its core, Chaperone is a combination user interface / software / API system that brings relevant parts of users’ physical environments into their virtualenvironments. The method of claim 1, wherein said location of said user is determined by continually monitoring the location of a portion of said head-mounteddisplay.
release of the Vrui VR toolkit (it looks like I will have full support for Oculus Rift DK2 just before it is obsoleted by the commercial version, haha), and needed a short break. Fancy virtualenvironments are left as an exercise for the reader. That was some serious Oculus face. No, there won’t be any pics.
The main issue was that I had been chasing evolving hardware, from the Oculus Rift DK1 to the Oculus Rift DK2, and now to HTC’s Vive. During that long stretch of time, I was never happy with the state of support of any of these devices. That’s finally changed. In most cases, that’s all it takes.
Since the Oculus Kickstarter in 2012, VR has seen a revival on the big screen as it becomes a more affordable and accessible consumer device. This technology could be in the form of a headmounteddisplay, motion tracking, haptic systems in gloves or suits, locomotion, consoles or image capture. TRON (1982).
And it was so expensive, and a head-mounteddisplay could cost $70,000. And now with the advent of Oculus Quest and these really inexpensive headsets, I think it’s just opened up the world to developers, and clinicians, and medical practitioners. And it also wasn’t very comfortable to wear.

LET’S TALK OCULUS: DRM NO MORE AND PATENT FOR NEW VR MOTION. Movement is a big issue in virtual reality, and developers have to be careful to make sure users are not nauseated by vestibular mismatch (your brain/eyes say “I’m moving” in the virtual world which contradicts your inner ear/balance which say “I’m stationary” in the real world).
At the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, David Em made strides in the creation of explorable virtual landscapes, while the Ames Research Center iterated on VIEW (Virtual Interactive Environment Workstation). Palmer Luckey, co-founder of Oculus VR Inc., In 2014, the social media giant purchased Oculus for nearly $3 billion.
