occulus paid off apples autocorrect I guess lol
People have tested them at even larger distances. It seems like 5m is a very conservative estimate to make 100% sure it works.
Get onto a charging dock - see my previous post showing the HTC proto and the bottom of the controllers which are begging for adapters to covert USB to external contact connectors. Also there are 3D printing models out there already to base measurements off
Oh and yay for email from HTC in the middle of the night....asking for customer service feedback
I’m fascinated with space, and by extension, Mars. I’ve seen Mars through a telescope. I’ve shot amateur astrophotos of Mars. I’ve looked at topographical maps of Mars. I’ve even gazed upon the real surface of Mars in VR, from a panoramic photo taken by the Curiosity rover and viewed through Gear VR.
But it wasn’t until Mars 2030 that I felt, however briefly, that I was actually standing on Mars.
It’s incredibly hard to describe, but anyone interested in space surely knows the feeling; that fleeting moment where for just an instant, you grasp the absurd scale of the cosmos and your minute role within it.
So what do you actually do in Mars 2030, other than being occasionally overcome with the feeling that you’re actually standing on another planet? I got a look at an early mission among several you’ll be able to undertake during your time on the Martian surface.
Starting at the base, my task was to explore an immense lava tube. It wasn’t terribly far from the site, but certainly too far to walk. Luckily there’s a rover parked at the base—identical to a prototype that NASA is considering sending to Mars; I hopped inside and began following a waymarker toward the lava tube. The path spiraled out from the base location and took me through surprisingly volatile terrain.
Why would you use the SteamVR menu room to show off VR? Or are you just saying that it doesn't take advantage of VR?
You're right, but the problem is still there because you're not positionally tracked within that space. I want 3D environments that are scaled correctly (the floor should line up, for one thing), and I should be able to walk around inside it as my room permits.
It does seem like an obvious step for SteamVR. I hope they iterate as well as they did in the early days of the Steam Controller. That thing improved so much in the first couple of months software-wise.
Audioshield is already completely mod friendly. Easily replaceable assets, game modes defined by Lua scripts, the works. Probably just a matter of time that workshop support wasn't in at launch.
Good to hear. Thanks.
We do need tracked beverages.
Lol, I was going to add a spoiler tagged "Not that I think they'll manage to improve anything." at the end of the post, but work demanded my attention.
