Tracking Inside-out tracking uses cameras in the headset to track the world; light house and outside- in use external trackers to track the headset and controllers. FOV (field of view) The wider the FOV the more immersive the experience. Refresh rate The higher the refresh rate the smoother the image and the lower the chance of nausea. Resolution A higher resolution increases immersion by making more detail visible reducing the less screen door effect. Enterprise support Developer software support/features and hardware services. Rendering resource There are currently two main levels: PC (a top-spec workstation) or mobile phone (high- spec mobile phone chipset, usually Qualcomm Snapdragon). Tethered or Wireless Most headsets are either PC powered and tethered with a cable or mobile phone chipset based and contained within the headset. A new generation is on the horizon that will be powered by a PC then reprojected in the headset with a mobile chipset. We’re on Twitter!

    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.

  • Virtual Reality Headsets
    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.

    Immersive virtual reality methods in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology: Meeting the criteria of the National Academy of Neuropsychology and American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology Panagiotis Kourtesisa,b,c,d* and Sarah E. MacPhersone,f aNational Research Institute of Computer Science and Automation, INRIA, Rennes, France; bUniv Rennes, Rennes, France; cResearch Institute of Computer Science and Random Systems, IRISA, Rennes, France; dFrench National Centre for Scientific Research, CNRS, Rennes, France. eHuman Cognitive Neuroscience, Department of Psychology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK; fDepartment of Psychology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK; * Panagiotis Kourtesis, National Research Institute of Computer Science and Automation, INRIA, Rennes, France. Email: [email protected] Abstract Clinical tools involving immersive virtual reality (VR) may bring several advantages to cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. However, there are some technical and methodological pitfalls. The American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology (AACN) and the National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN) raised 8 key issues pertaining to Computerized Neuropsychological Assessment Devices. These issues pertain to: (1) the safety and effectivity; (2) the identity of the end-user; (3) the technical hardware and software features; (4) privacy and data security; (5) the psychometric properties; (6) examinee issues; (7) the use of reporting services; and (8) the reliability of the responses and results. The VR Everyday Assessment Lab (VR-EAL) is the first immersive VR neuropsychological battery with enhanced ecological validity for the assessment of everyday cognitive functions by offering a pleasant testing experience without inducing cybersickness. The VR-EAL meets the criteria of the NAN and AACN, addresses the methodological pitfalls, and brings advantages for neuropsychological testing.

  • Recommendations for Integrating a P300-Based Brain–Computer Interface in Virtual Reality Environments for Gaming: an Update
    computers Review Recommendations for Integrating a P300-Based Brain–Computer Interface in Virtual Reality Environments for Gaming: An Update Grégoire Cattan 1,* , Anton Andreev 2 and Etienne Visinoni 3 1 IBM, Cloud and Cognitive Software, Department of SaferPayment, 30-150 Krakow, Poland 2 GIPSA-lab, CNRS, Department of Platforms and Project, 38402 Saint Martin d’Hères, France; [email protected] 3 SputySoft, 75004 Paris, France; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 19 September 2020; Accepted: 12 November 2020; Published: 14 November 2020 Abstract: The integration of a P300-based brain–computer interface (BCI) into virtual reality (VR) environments is promising for the video games industry. However, it faces several limitations, mainly due to hardware constraints and limitations engendered by the stimulation needed by the BCI. The main restriction is still the low transfer rate that can be achieved by current BCI technology, preventing movement while using VR. The goal of this paper is to review current limitations and to provide application creators with design recommendations to overcome them, thus significantly reducing the development time and making the domain of BCI more accessible to developers. We review the design of video games from the perspective of BCI and VR with the objective of enhancing the user experience. An essential recommendation is to use the BCI only for non-complex and non-critical tasks in the game. Also, the BCI should be used to control actions that are naturally integrated into the virtual world. Finally, adventure and simulation games, especially if cooperative (multi-user), appear to be the best candidates for designing an effective VR game enriched by BCI technology.
