    Base game Manual V0.4 Environment Remove any objects in the playing area that you might touch or hit while playing with your body. Please also make sure that lamps or fans are not in the playing area. If you are at the edge of the playing area, do not make any big movements, otherwise you could touch the walls with your body or hands/controllers. It is best to stand. Step movements are not necessary during the game. You can move and rotate completely with the controllers. Technical requirements To play the game, you need Virtual Reality headset (VR headset). Without VR glasses, the game will not run. A (free) Steam account is also required. Also installed must be the VR software "SteamVR" (when using HTC VIVE or the Valve Index) or the additional software "Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR" for the use of Windows Mixed Reality glasses on Steam with "SteamVR". Before the first launch, a room measuring should also have been done in SteamVR (when using the HTC VIVE or the Valve Index). When using Windows Mixed Reality glasses, there is an option to change the position of the floor from the height. The controllers of the VR headset should also be connected to the VR system and be charged. The game Container You start the game in the container and go to the selected construction site through the door. Later, you can start different locations here depending on the existing DLC. You can now set options to one of the boards by moving the switch accordingly.

  • Samsung Announces New Windows-Based Virtual-Reality Headset at Microsoft Event 4 October 2017, by Matt Day, the Seattle Times
    Samsung announces new Windows-based virtual-reality headset at Microsoft event 4 October 2017, by Matt Day, The Seattle Times Samsung is joining Microsoft's virtual reality push, Microsoft also said that it had acquired AltspaceVR, announcing an immersive headset that pairs with a California virtual reality software startup that was Windows computers. building social and communications tools until it ran into funding problems earlier this year. The Korean electronics giant unveiled its Samsung HMD Odyssey at a Microsoft event in San ©2017 The Seattle Times Francisco recently. It will sell for $499. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC. The device joins Windows-based immersive headsets built by Lenovo, HP, Acer and Dell, and aimed for release later this year. Microsoft is among the companies seeking a slice of the emerging market for modern head-mounted devices. High-end headsets, like Facebook-owned Oculus's Rift and the HTC Vive, require powerful Windows PCs to run. Others, including the Samsung Gear VR and Google's Daydream, are aimed at the wider audience of people who use smartphones. Microsoft's vision, for now, is tied to the PC, and specifically new features in the Windows operating system designed to make it easier to build and display immersive environments. The company also has its own hardware, but that hasn't been on display recently. Microsoft's HoloLens was a trailblazer when it was unveiled in 2015. The headset, whose visor shows computer-generated images projected onto objects in the wearer's environment without obscuring the view of the real world completely, was subsequently offered for sale to developers and businesses.

    VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSETS LILY CHIANG VR HISTORY • Many companies (Virtuality, Sega, Atari, Sony) jumped on the VR hype in the 1990s; but commercialization flopped because both hardware and software failed to deliver on the promised VR vision. • Any use of the VR devices in the 2000s was limited to the military, aviation, and medical industry for simulation and training. • VR hype resurged after Oculus successful KickStarter campaign; subsequently acquired by Facebook for $2.4 bn. • Investments rushed into the VR industry as major tech firms such as Google, Samsung, and Microsoft and prominent VC firms bet big on the VR revolution.

  • This Vuze Camera Project Is Taken from Peter Simcoe's Forthcoming
    This Vuze camera project is taken from Peter Simcoe’s forthcoming 360 Video Handbook, available early 2018. To keep up to date with the progress and release of this book, see simcoe.co.uk/book or register your interest by emailing him at [email protected]. “The 360 Video Handbook is really a milestone for me, not only as a 360 video producer, but also as a graphic designer, traditional video producer, photographer and even musician. The experiments with Vuze camera and other 360 cameras over the last 2 years, combined with 23 years experience of creating traditional video, photography and design, led me to believe I have something to contribute to the 360 community. This book contains my own personal wish-list of project examples, frequently asked questions and technical knowledge I would have wanted to know when I began my 360 video journey and as a result is a document containing the experience, advice and inspiration I have to offer. It is also the coffee table book I always wanted to write – something easily accessible in different ways, from quick inspirational photo galleries through to detailed discussion and case studies. I aimed to create a visually stimulating book with intrinsic design value combined with solid technical considerations. I hope people enjoy reading it.” - Peter Simcoe www.simcoe.co.uk www.twitter.com/simcoemedia www.youtube.com/simcoemedia Note: The images in this document demonstrate the inclusion of the background created with Google Tilt Brush and Google Blocks. Full details of this are included in the 360 Video Handbook In Detail: 3D 360 Music Video I recently completed project involving the use of a Vuze camera, Oculus Rift, Google Tilt Brush and Google Blocks.
