A Meetup presentation of VR projects I worked on the past years.
HTC Vive, FOVE, PSVR (former Project Morpheus), Razor Hydra, Leap Motion & Trinus VR. Including Oculus DK1 and DK2 obviously as well as Gear VR and Cardboard.
This presentation highlights the difference between 360 and 180 degree VR devices and experiences, as well as the benefits of Eye Tracking for VR.
4. TRUE HOLODECK EXPERIENCE
HTC VIVE ONLY TRUE 360
• Pros:
• True Holodeck experience in 360
• More then (just) a couch 180
• Scalable rooms (small & big)
• Front Camera
• Cons:
• Setup Time
5. GEAR VR + STEM = 100% WIRELESS AWESOMENESS
OTHER WIRELESS ALTERNATIVE
• Second best 360 Experience in my opinion with Sixense STEM
• The Lightsaber demos was really impressive
• Possibly cheaper then Vive & High Performance PC
• Can be used with PC as well, but remember the HMD Cable!
