Dear ShockingAlberto,

Can you please clarify what, if anything, that post meant so that we can quit wasting time dissecting it?

Sincerely your friend,
Steve Youngblood

Such a camera would have to communicate wirelessly with the handheld/headset, though, which would introduce latency to the head tracking, and if there's one golden rule of VR, it's that you want your head tracking latency to be as low as humanly possible.

Edit:



They do, but as noted above, an external camera would need to communicate wirelessly with the NX, adding unavoidable latency. The only internal camera solution which might be able to provide positional tracking would be a TTF depth-sensing camera, but I don't believe they have the accuracy required thus far. One option would be to go with Vive-style lighthouses, which gives very accurate positional tracking which can be calculated entirely within the NX (the lighthouses are just passively shooting out lasers). This would probably be pretty expensive, though, and would require people to physically install two lighthouse-like devices on the walls of whatever room they would want to use NX VR in. Not something I'd expect from Nintendo.

It would definitely be interesting to see what kind of path Nintendo would go with VR, but I don't expect to find out any time soon.

For the record, I agree that we won't see Nintendo VR for a while, at least a year or two. But when you talk about latency between dock and handheld, isn't that something Nintendo actually has a great amount of experience with from the Wii U? Or is the level of the Wii U streaming latency still to great for VR?

I'm not even trying to be threatening here. I just want to move on from these "this mother fucker is playing chess and we're all playing checkers here" reaction takes to a largely forgettable post save the current hysteria.
 
ok, it was a matter of time till people started commiting account-suicide.

let's keep this civil people, I don't want the thread closed dammit.

There is a bit more context then this single post. I like Emily follow her, etc. I am disappointed with her calling people out on Twitter with opposing views ... these are regular folks not bullies etc.
 
Hey yeah, sorry guys I think Kimishima hacked my account. I get it, it's a lot of internal pressure for Nintendo that we're creating here, but he didn't have to do that.

I for one am deeply saddened about that

Some are saying Thursday, others Friday. It could be Thursday in America and Friday in Japan... though I've been expecting January for months, so until I see confirmation otherwise, I'm sticking to that.

I hope its thursday. I want to experience the moment with everyone :3
 
If it doesn't happen....

*Emily takes off a skin mask and it's 10k*

"It's me Neogaf! It was me all along Neogaf!!"


Ps

I believe that she is being genuine and will be proven correct, not just about the reveal, but on a lot of the hardware comments she made as well.
 
one thing is for sure, the announcement will take all of neogaf by surprise.

this is the only NX thread in the front page and most people won't get near it with that thread title.

I think the majority of gaf does not suspect in the least the announcement is imminent.

I think it's safe to say they're better off that way.
