Mind-Blowing Virtual Augmented Reality with Oculus Rift

submitted by lucky760

9 years 11 months 3 weeks ago

Found this at engadget.

It is really rather amazing to me. Like always with the Oculus Rift, you can put yourself into any kind of virtual 3D environment you'd like to render, but using multiple Kinect cameras you can actually see your physical body attached to your POV making your mind really believe that your body is physically in the virtual space.

Your invisible body has always seemed a big gaping hole in the realism of Facebook's Oculus Rift, but with something like this you could really do some interesting stuff. Among many other things, you could, for example, be with other people face to face together in the same room virtually because not only can you see yourself, but since you're virtualized, other people could see you as you physically exist in reality as well.

Where be my votes at?

*promote!

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Wednesday, May 14th, 2014 9:59am PDT - promote requested by original submitter lucky760.

You can see the "ordinary" non-rift encoded version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghgbycqb92c

Loos really nice in deed!

That is very interesting. It seems like the technology is already there - now insert some physics & sensors and it really would be virtual reality; that is to say not too much further to go simulating a corporate office environment of nightmarish JG Ballard quality

That's cool, I just noticed you can look at these cross-eyed to see it in 3d. For me I have to sit about 5 feet back with it on fullscreen.

If you've never tried that before here's how it works.
