cheap VR

[erico]

You probably know about this cardboard project here:
https://developers.google.com/cardboard/

So I was wondering if anyone of you tried to assemble such.
If so, I was also wondering that it is possible to use GLBasic with it (probably with the viewport command?).

Since I have the hots for cardboard/kit stuff, heck, I might look into assembling one for me, it should work fine with a galaxy note II.
Of course just for experimenting really, I don´t really like 3d movies neither the VR revival of the latest...

...ya, I played VR back in the amiga days with GLOOM at work and also another set up with a3000 on fairs and shows...wasen´t impressed, but you know...since this is cardboard related, I might just give it another chance.

Jeje you can biy this in DealExtreme for 10 euros I think....

I think use this in GLbasic ins't complex, you put your mobile device and take the accelerometers data , then put into the GLBasic camera... You can make a simple test via Wifi...

Really I think the Boom with this device will be with Ocullus rift, in Fact Shiva Unity and another soft, they have plugin for use oculus, I think another compañy it's doing another "glasses" for the competency, the good point of Oculus it's this was bought for Facebook and when this guys say, sell the product all the people will want one.

A friend of mine have one, and say it's awesome, I never try this, but seems it's very very real the feeling of "Vertigo" and Speed.

One of my friend have a Ocullus too, but im have not tried that one yet. The most issue with vr is headache after a short play. Last time im tried VR was a Formula one game on the Amiga day. Im do thinks its technology is much much better since that time.

Also its a fun idea behind this project really. But how useable is its in practical?

For a few bucks I´m willing to try out, maybe I get one of the already done kits for the 8 bucks that is a suit to a galaxy note 2.
The oculus rift and nowadays vr I´m really not interested.

I think for Ocullus have a market it's needed some years, or perhaps the product don't works fine, something like the videcall, before videocall all people look like the SCi-FI, after anyone wants pur the face speaking with anothers...

We'll see whats happends.

Yes spacefractal , you can see videos on youtue, now it's like a AAA game, the problem of the Oculus in the 1rt version it's you see the graphics too much pixelated... now in the V2 I think they put another screen with more quality.

I think the Oculus for some games no have to much sense, but for racing cars, you see real 3D like Z-Depth and you can turn the head to both sides, like go into a car, I think the feeling can be cool... Another thing it's, it's a device with 2 weeks of fun?¿ perhaps after a while the device it¡s realy bored.
