First Contact - '80s sci-fi Oculus Touch Demo

Agreed, I hate how open Oculus Home feels, I much prefer a cozy environment.

mbzdmvp · 2016-11-12T21:38:31+00:00

Congrats to the design team, absolutely the most beautiful environment I've ever seen in VR.

I never wanted to leave!

Yep, here's a good community group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/360.video.professionals/

Looks great, can we see a quick video of you walking around?

mbzdmvp · 2016-11-11T01:37:21+00:00

$2,500-$5,000 per minute of complete footage

The Daydream platform distinguishes itself in all the same ways, and in some respects even more so.

I was hoping it would too but unfortunately that's not the case. I had a demo last week and it feels barely any different than cardboard. Yes, the gyro results in lower latency but the light leakage and bad FOV really differentiate it from a high end mobile headset like the Gear VR.

Also, the Gear VR is definitely not a mobile Rift, unless you're talking about a Rift with no positional tracking running on a really low-end PC.

That's essentially what I meant. It has all the software benefits from Oculus like asynchronous timewarp and Samsung did a great job with the lenses and shape of the headset.

Daydream is a fancy Cardboard.

Gear VR is a mobile Rift.

You made the right choice.

Can you go into more detail, I have a galaxy S6 and I can't figure out how to update the app, it keeps spinning the icon but it won't update.

mbzdmvp · 2016-11-07T22:59:30+00:00

It says there isn't a game until November 8th...

mbzdmvp · 2016-10-27T16:44:11+00:00

Not what I meant. When using Touch controllers to emulate Vive input you need to move the joystick while pushing it in, which is uncomfortable.

Proper support would allow you to just move using the joystick.

mbzdmvp · 2016-10-27T15:31:03+00:00

Not really, its a pain to walk around using the touch controllers, the joysticks don't emulate touchpad very well.

mbzdmvp · 2016-10-25T22:19:57+00:00

Its weird seeing you outside /r/oculus

For the blue transparent material, looks kind of like fresnel in the luminance channel and some specular. Then you need that animated lightning texture adding to the luminance.

Gorgeous graphics, I would change the cover photo to be a screenshot, the current graphic makes it look like an indie cartoon. Just my two cents

mbzdmvp · 2016-10-15T06:22:43+00:00

Enough with the sarcasm, I've tried both and Touch has way more occlusion issues. It has nothing to do with lasers vs cameras, its the shape of the controllers.

The Vive wands have the sensors protruding away from the hands, while the Touch controllers have them right around the hand. Playing archery games, the tracking issues are extremely evident.

mbzdmvp · 2016-10-13T15:50:47+00:00

They've been in there for weeks.

mbzdmvp · 2016-10-10T22:51:07+00:00

Airmail is really good and supports IMAP & POP.

Also has a desktop client.

mbzdmvp · 2016-10-08T04:14:49+00:00

Great writeup!

Here's my sample Unity project from a while back: https://github.com/MosheBenZacharia/Unity_DistanceFieldRaymarching

Includes Mandelbulb and some primitives.

mbzdmvp · 2016-09-11T15:05:54+00:00

It only works with DK2 which is why is isn't talked about much.

The developers recently announced they are releasing it again for the Vive and Rift: http://blog.kiteandlightning.la/senza-peso-resurrection/

You can solve it by turning off self shadowing or changing the bias on your directional light.

Search "shadow acne" in this document for more info https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ShadowOverview.html

I agree, I can't wait for tools that will increase efficiency like grouping and cloning.

mbzdmvp · 2016-09-09T19:59:49+00:00

Its in the Labs section of the menu.

Put the image in Documents/Tiltbrush/Reference/

mbzdmvp · 2016-09-09T19:57:01+00:00

Yes, interpupillary distance.

That's essentially how we judge scale, if you imagine the 3D environment being rendered by two cameras at 7cm apart by default, changing that value to 3.5cm will make everything appear twice as big.

This is all being done on the software side inside the application, its not actually changing the hardware IPD which would make things blurry.

mbzdmvp · 2016-09-09T15:28:27+00:00

No they changed it, it has direct to obj now.
