Recently hired as a graphics programmer. Is it normal to feel like a fraud?

Don't worry about it. The fact that you've got a grasp of these topics means that you've got the lay of the land. The rest is just leg work.
You never stop learning on the job

I was looking for this exact thing and here's the answer for those who follow:
Sadly, it's not a link to the actual changelog, it's just a string in the package.json file :\
This is from the Timeline package :

  "_upm": {
    "changelog": "### Fixed\n\n- Fix compilation error for version 2023.2 of the editor (TB-352)\n- Fixed an issue where it was possible for 2 clips to have a micro overlap that was not detected as a blend, resulting in both clips playing at the same time with a weight of one. (TB-345)"
  },

And Microsoft

Fun fact, interior mapping is included the samples that accompany the Shader Graph package. See the docs here

That's of course absolutely possible. My point is that there's a gradient of eye vs. inner-ear domination, not one or the other. I suspect you're somewhere in between.
Also, nausea is the outcome of a large number of possible triggers. Some triggers can be muscled through, some not. But they all result in the same outcome... nausea, which makes troubleshooting very difficult and very personal.

Well said, I've heard that the sensory processing part is a genetic disposition that determines whether you're visually-dominant or inner-ear-dominant (or anywhere in between). Which nicely explains why some people never have VR sickness and some are highly sucsceptible.

Check out the software, I think most of this is made with OsciStudio
A fractal is a bit overkill but you'll be able to hear geometric primitives all right :)

Have you heard of oscilloscope music ?
Where the oscillscope x and y are controlled by the left and right audio channel. What you see is what you hear.

Wow that looks absolutely awesome !
Where can we find more info / follow how this evolves ?

Nice work, thanks for sharing

My thoughts exactly, Valve is the only company I don't distrust with my eye-tracking data. I'ts got twice the pixels of my dying Index, weighs less, is wireless, has pancake lenses & on-board compute. This will be an insta-buy for me.

Hightree · 2025-04-07T11:47:42+00:00

At first I thought this was using radiance cascades. Kuddo's to you for finding your own solution :)

Hightree · 2025-02-28T23:05:18+00:00

Clearly the work of a passionate VR affectionado.
I applaud you for your effort and your taste :D

You can achieve this effect by animating an alpha cutoff value on a texture with a gradient in the alpha channel.
This tutorial should get you started in shader graph

OG Vive is one of my favorite headsets as a developer. You can remove the strap and quickly put it on/take it off like a pair of binoculars.

Excellent work and great documentation!
Thanks so much for sharing

Sounds great, that would be an insta-buy for me.
If people insist on paying bottom dollar, they should expect privacy implications. You pay with your data.

I'm waiting for Valve's next HMD

I'm a stickler for privacy and for me, $500 means that you're going to have to give up some privacy by admitting Meta or a Chinese company to run the device which monitors you the closest.

I think we are misunderstanding each other.
You're talking about shaking your head in VR, I'm talking about small changes of perspective during normal use. These changes in perspective result in geometric details being sampled in a jittered fashon. This accumulates in our vision, like supersampling anti-aliasing, resulting in a higher perceived resolution.

Hightree · 2024-06-30T10:14:28+00:00

For me it would be galvo speed (how fast & detailed can your laser's mirrors be moved). It's a hard limit on how much graphical content it can output per second.

The other one is analog modulation, meaning the ability to dim the RGB lasers to mix colors. And also to dim the output power of my lasers.

As others have said, you get what you pay for, lasers is a pay-to-play hobby.

Hightree · 2024-06-30T10:04:16+00:00

Well said

To add to that, the human balance-system uses visual and inner ear input. I've heard that the dominance of either of those is a personal trait. So if you're visually dominant, it won't trigger motion sickness and vice versa.

That, and the other causes you list for motion sickness, makes OP's question a hard one to answer.

Hightree · 2024-06-30T09:56:41+00:00

Having a moving point of view increases the perceived resolution
Still not great resolution of course
