Creating a social VR experience poses new challenges like head tracking on a massive scale, and networked physics so people can realistically interact in a persistent shared space. And if you make a change to any part of the world, that change persists and can be experienced by everyone else who visits.

The 210 degree field of view is an eye opener in the virtual world and makes other headsets feel like binoculars. While the prior headset had fiducial markers printed on it for optical tracking, the current prototype is using Sixense STEM’s magnetic tracking.

With the release of the Oculus Touch controllers , both of the major headsets — Oculus Rift and HTC Vive — have motion tracked controllers and roomscale capabilities. Head-tracking is one thing, but moving my hands around while inside VR, evoking that sense of body language, is a magical thing.

.” But it isn’t just for tracking. Eonite is working on a Unity SDK which the company says will allow developers to bring real-time 3D scanned data from the user’s environment into the virtual world for mixed reality and AR applications, including support for persistent virtual content, shadows, and occlusion.

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.

It can make players feel like they are in a game, like the virtual world of the number one player, with a 360-degree viewing angle experience, which is better than that of IMAX. With a VR device, your vision will go deep into the magical world on the screen. The VR Chair 360° is equipped with a 42-inch high-definition display.

Click To Tweet Since this project was designed to run on mobile VR headsets, we designed knowing that it might be experienced with only 3 degree-of-freedom (3DoF) head tracking. Designing virtual interactions for human arms, hands, and fingers means digging into the range of motion of shoulders, elbows, and wrists.

The idea is that this will reduce the friction of getting into VR by having one device that’s ready to go as soon as you can throw it on your head. And, unlike the Go, the Mirage Solo includes a pair of cameras on the front of the headset which enable positional (6DOF) head tracking, allowing users to do more than just rotate in place.

Mindfulness can exist in the virtual world. Mindway is a VR app that promotes mindfulness – both in virtual worlds of unearthly peace and through lessons that you can carry with you when you put the headset down. The thumbsticks can be used for snap turns, but there’s no movement and head-tracking is sufficient.

It’s close though, and arguably ‘good enough’ as it’s quite a bit more precise than PSVR (which has had no trouble moving units even with its greater than sub-millimeter tracking precision). It also seemed much harder for me to understand where the spatial audio was coming from within the virtual world.

Just as accurate head tracking can place you inside a virtual world, hand tracking can reinforce the sense that you’ve actually traveled to another place. This approach also reduces jitter effects, since there’s no longer an artificially generated rigged hand to worry about. Hand Position.
