VR, or virtual reality. What is it? - NaTemat

Virtual reality. Two words that kindle players from the moment when a group of surfers founded on Kickstarterze (website allows deposit money into an interesting and interesting) goggles Oculus Rift. What is it? In short, is a technology that allows the user to “soak” in the digital world.

Goggles Oculus Rift • Oculus VR

Virtual reality is not a new concept. For the first time it appeared in the mid-nineties – then the market appeared device (ie goggles), which had to move players to the digital world. With it you can observe events from a first person perspective – the user can control the movements of the camera by moving his head. In other words – he had been deceived, the presence of this other world. At least in theory, because the practice has proved to be brutal – technological limitations stand in the way at achieving the desired effect, as the same equipment that was (gently writing) unwieldy. And all of this came nausea and dizziness. Virtual reality has been pushed into the darkness of oblivion. Up until 2012.

Then on Kickstarterze – crowdfundingowej platform, which allows Internet users to support interesting projects – appeared on the Oculus Rift collection. What is it? This modern virtual reality goggles created by Palmer Luckey. The equipment has a display with a resolution of 1280×800, so that each eye, there is one image sized 640×800. Added to this is a motion sensor, allowing the user to look around the digital world. The device was quickly financed – the creators need $ 250 thousand, and during the day they were able to gather … 700 000. Finally, on account of their 2.4 million dollar went.

Since then Oculus Rift evolved and developed considerably, and although still a lot of water in the Vistula River runs it on sale will be the commercial version of the device, many people now has its prototypes and developer editions. And they do amazing things with them – not only adapt to the already available productions, but also create new ones to act only on the Oculus Rifcie.

Some, however, go much further and combine goggles with mobility controllers. As a result, the sense of immersion (and therefore “Spilled” in the fictional world) is much larger. The most recent example of this is the video Cyberith company that has created an unusual set. It consists of Oculus Rift, Wii Mote (motion controller of the Wii console) and Virtualizer treadmill. The latter was established in the said company, and thanks to her player may make simply moving within the mat unit. it’s all connected to a computer that is running The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – released in 2011 role-playing game, which is one of the greatest representatives of this species. The result? Great – you can look around the digital world using goggles, cast spells, shoot a bow and waving swords and ax moving his arms and legs to move the hook. It looks like this:

Oculus Rift can be used not only for games – some time ago there was an interesting application that allows two users to exchange sex: male can see what it is like to be a woman, and a woman can be a man . I do not recommend this genderyzmu opponents. :)

it presents itself like this:

Virtual reality is a lot of potential and could revolutionize the industry. It really works, which show the relationship of people who have already had the opportunity to play with Oculus. Developers need only to eliminate a lot of errors, including the most important disadvantage of the device (and VR in general) – nausea and dizziness, which appear in most cases, after about 10 minutes of use. It would also increase the screen resolution. Producers promise, however, that all the ills and faults will disappear in the final version of the goggles. Could also more games designed for virtual reality, and above all conceptual change developingu – would add to production utilizing the possibilities offered by virtual reality.

Then we have to deal with the revolution.
