The High-end VR Discussion Thread (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Playstation VR) (From NeoGAF)

This post is originally from a thread in NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1196669)


LAST UPDATED: 3/16/2016 (Updated Oculus launch Games and Must See Stuff section) - 3/15/2016 (Added PSVR information) - 3/13/2016 (Added FAQ question about glasses)

I wanted a thread to discuss the games, tech, and rapidly approaching release of consumer VR. This thread will be about high-end VR. Right now this means the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR. There are important differences between these platforms, but let’s use these as the baseline for true modern consumer VR. Every industry is about to change and I don’t think people are prepared for how quickly it will happen. Cool stuff is happening every day right under people's noses. Note: I’m also not interesting in your definition of video game.

Virtual Reality - /vərCH(əw)əl rēˈalədē/ – In simple terms VR experiences use a headset and sometimes motion controllers to allow a user to feel like they are in another place. By combining high resolution displays for each eye, positional tracking via external sensors, and internal trackers VR gives the user the sense that they are actually looking at, moving through, and interacting with a different world. This isn’t “just a monitor”. VR is a new medium. Much of the conventional wisdom in game design, filmmaking, and general software development do not work in VR. Hybrid entertainment will be a common form VR software takes. Software is kind of the key word here too. Good VR experiences are going to most certainly require real-time computer generation. Game engines are in the perfect position for this, so naturally much of what we are seeing are games. From my experience VR is essentially all of the dreams we had with the Wii and Kinect actually coming true. Associating VR with those technologies is probably risky, but it was what immediately put a smile on my face when I started walking around a room with motion controllers perfectly tracked. I didn't think it would happen. I thought the industry had hit an evolutionary dead end. Little did we know strapping a heavy blindfold to your face would be the answer.

Presence - /prezəns/ - The subjective experience of being in another place to the degree that your mind and body are tricked. The simple example is someone asks you in VR to step off a ledge. You know in real life you are safe, but in the virtual world you still hesitate. Lots of things can break presence, and it's sort of the holy grail of VR experiences.

Occlusion - /əˈklo͞oZHən/ - Is the term for what happens when an object is interfering with tracking. Your body for example may occlude your motion controllers from being tracked if you face away from a tracking sensor. There are many possible scenarios where occlusion can come into play including improper sensor placement.

IPD (Interpupillary distance) - /in(t)ərpyo͞opəˌlerē distəns/ - The distance between the center of your two pupils. This measurement is important for the placement of the optics. If the headset doesn't match your IPD (through a software or hardware solution) the image can appear blurry.

HTC Vive

Who made it: The software and original R&D is by Valve. HTC is in charge of manufacturing a real consumer product.
What is it: The HTC Vive is a room scale virtual reality system created in partnership with HTC and Valve. The HTC Vive includes motion controllers that are tracked along with the headset using what is known as a Lighthouse system. These lighthouses are laser emitting base stations that send a wave of light all around the room at imperceptible wavelengths and frequencies. The Headset and controllers have photosensitive diodes that can detect these lasers. These two base stations can be positioned in any position though it is strongly recommended you place them in opposing corners of the play place so the user can move in full 360 degrees and not run into occlusion issues. The Vive uses what is known as the chaperone system. Chaperone displays virtual tron-like grid-lines and the real world beyond it when you start to walk out of the safe bounds of your play place.

Must See Stuff:


Oculus Rift

Who made it: Oculus. The company that started this modern VR revolution. They were purchased by Facebook in 2014.
What is it: The Oculus Rift at launch is a stationary (seated or standing with minor movement) VR system. At launch most Oculus Rift games will use the included Xbox One controller. The Rift uses a front facing camera system for positional tracking. The headset has hidden IR markers arranged in specific positions (known as Constellation tracking) that the camera can pick up. Sometime this year Oculus will release their Touch controllers and second camera. This will allow for true VR interactivity with your hands and greater degree of movement. It is unknown what position Oculus will ultimately recommend for camera placement. This will determine the degree of freedom a user can have.

Must See Stuff:
There isn't much footage of people using the final Rift at this point. There is probably an embargo right now, but expect loads of information very soon.

PlayStation VR

Who made it: Sony
What is it: Playstation VR is a sit-down and limited standing VR system developed by Sony for the PlayStation 4. It supports gameplay using the Dual Shock 4 and in many cases two PlayStation Move controllers. Tracking is performed using the PlayStation 4 camera. Gameplay will generally involve always facing the front if using Move controllers to avoid issues with occlusion. The headset however can rotate 360 degrees. As a result player mobility will be dependent on the game. Playstation VR has what is known as "social screen" support. This is where other people can see what the person in VR sees or an entirely different perspective altogether. This can allow multiplayer gameplay with other people using a Dual Shock 4 on the couch for example. This is possible with the PC headsets and is indeed happening right now, but asynchronous gameplay will probably occur more often with PSVR. At least at the start.

Frequently Asked Questions
This shit is expensive. Can my PC run VR and if not where do I start with building a machine?
Valve and Oculus have released programs to determine if your PC can run VR. Try the SteamVR Performance Test or Oculus Rift Compatibility Check tools. Honestly though if you don't meet the recommended specs don't bother. You will only get sick and angry. Ars did a good write up of different VR PC builds. It's cheaper to build your own as always, but you can buy pre-built Oculus Ready PC's. They should be good for the Vive as well, but I can't vouch for them. Whatever you do if you are already spending so much I wouldn't recommend going lower than a 980Ti. The $1500 price point will probably save you headaches in the long run. I could be wrong. Maybe the final version of every game will be optimized entirely for a $900 PC. I doubt it though.


Can I play sitting down? I don't have enough room! Do I? How much space will VR take up?

  • HTC Vive - Yes. While the majority of games designed for HTC Vive will require a minimum of 1.5m x2m available space there may be some that have sit down modes (Fantastic Contraption has demonstrated this). Don't expect this at launch though. Additionally games that are designed as sit-down experiences primarily will naturally work (Elite: Dangerous for example). The Lighthouse system doesn’t care what position you are in. As long as one lighthouse can see a few trackers on your headset you are good to go. Just remember you will always want more space though, and if you expand your bounds all the way to your real walls you may accidentally hit them. The Vive's Chaperone system will tell you the walls are there, but if you swing your arms fast enough nothing is going to stop you from hitting that wall. The Hover Junkers folks put up a video talking about the spaces that work for their game at least. The short answer though is every game will be different. If you are above that 1.5mx2m minimum though most games will be fine.
  • Oculus Rift - At launch the rift uses one camera that is intended for sit down or limited standing experiences. The Touch controllers which use two cameras and allow movement in a wider space are coming later this year. Every Touch demo so far has places these cameras in front of you which means when you turn around the controllers will no longer be tracked in space. Unless Oculus changes the placement of the cameras (which requires longer cables all going to your PC) to a similar setup as the Vive (one in each corner of your space) you won't see 360 degree room scale experiences.
  • PSVR - Playstation is going for a very similar setup as Oculus, but more focused on a living room scenario. Like with the Rift the amount of space you have to move around in will depend on the distance you are from the camera. Sony has said that most games will target sit down and very limited standing however so you don't need much room.
Here is an image demonstrating the play space sizes.



I want to move headsets, base stations and the like around to different rooms without moving my computer. I need long cables! Is this possible and what does it require?
Great question. We don’t entirely know all of the specifics of this yet, but there are some things we do know.
  • HTC Vive: The way to do this is to bring the Vive’s breakout box (link box) to the room you want to play in and plug it into power there. You will then need a long HDMI and USB 2.0 ACTIVE cable to connect it the PC in the other room. If you want a "social screen" you need another HDMI cable to connect to your display. I'm curious to try a Steam Link with this though. It likely wouldn't work for various reasons. All this being said there are scattered reports of developers extending their cables, but I would not trust this without confirmation. The lighthouse base stations can be extended using a 2.1mm 12V power extension cable.
  • Oculus Rift: An actual Oculus employee has confirmed that these HDMI and USB cables will work with the Rift. They confirmed passive Displayport and DVI adapters as well. Not sure about Active cables in all this. I'm trying all of this out myself so I will report back when I know.
  • PSVR: Unknown

What about mounting the trackers? What should I get and do I need to?

  • HTC Vive: The HTC Vive base stations can be mounted using a standard ¼” screw mount. I purchased these joints to mount them to these floor to ceiling poles. You can get standard tripods as well if they work for your situation. Remember though that tripods take up space at the base. You don’t need any of this hardware, but in my situation it was great for portability. In my permanent room I will be mounting them to the ceiling using these. All that really matters is that you can get them up high (to avoid occlusion from other people) and on a stable surface. So a bookshelf will do as well. As demonstrated in this video however you can technically put them at most heights though if you have people around they may walk in front of the sensors more often at lower heights.
  • Oculus Rift: For now since Oculus uses a front facing censor this will probably depend on your desktop setup. The sensor includes its own extendable mount which should be good enough for most situations. It can be attached to any standard ¼” tripod as well.
  • PSVR: Sony is using the existing PS4 camera. Since this is a TV based VR solution it is likely you will have this set up on top of your television.

Moving around in room scale with a cable seems like a tripping hazard. Can I hang it?
Yes it’s not ideal, but for the foreseeable future high-end VR will be tethered. It is really not recommended to hang the cable though as your hands will only hit it. It’s much less of a problem to just walk over it. The conventional wisdom is that you just get used to it. That being said the day they fix this will be grand.

Will I get sick?
I get sick instantly with DK2. I’ve spent multiple hours in the Vive and didn’t feel a thing. These newer headsets render at 90hz or higher which appears to help a lot. As long as games manage to maintain 90hz then it looks like you won’t get sick. Another thing that helps is natural 1:1 motion which you will find with a lot of Vive games. Games that cause your view to accelerate suddenly (usually with joystick) have a high probably of making you sick. Some people claim to be able to handle it. I wouldn’t worry about it though. The games sold on the Oculus store have a comfort level rating, so if you find that you can be easily made sick consult those ratings.

What are the interfaces like? Can I navigate between games while staying in VR?
Yes both The Vive and Oculus have VR front ends. We don’t know a ton about the Rift’s Oculus Home. It's possible it will be similar to Oculus Home on GearVR. Steam VR has been public for a while though and is constantly getting updated. You can see a demonstration of this here. Valve also just recently announced SteamVR Desktop Theater Mode where you can play any non-VR game in a theater like VR room. I expect these sort of experiences to come fast and furious. Oculus will certainly have a movie viewer at launch. Microsoft and Oculus announced some sort of support for viewing your streamed Xbox One games in a virtual cinema as well. With PlayStation VR you can use a "Cinematic Mode" which allows the user to navigate the PS4 interface and play any PS4 game in VR (on a flat screen) in what is probably some sort of virtual room or blank space.



If I buy a game through Steam will it work on Oculus and vise versa? Aren't these things like monitors?
This is a complicated question with some bits that aren’t 100% clear yet. To begin with it's not as simple as a monitor. People knew this was an issue however and began working on it. Valve has a solution, but when it comes to game specific ideas there will be differences that will prevent games from working across headsets (room scale tracking, different tracking methods, motion controllers etc.) The question of store purchases is even more complicated.

OpenVR - OpenVR is an API and runtime by Valve that allows SteamVR (Valve’s VR Steam interface) and games to support multiple virtual reality headsets without the game having any knowledge of what headset is being used.This includes the Oculus Rift. The DK2 works right now. You can download Steam VR and see for yourself. This standard can be used by any dev if they decide that they want to put a game up for sale on both Steam and the Oculus store for example. The SDK in fact includes the Oculus SDK, so if a dev wanted to they could release on Steam and only Steam and still support the Rift. You don't have to sell your OpenVR game on Steam at all even.

Oculus Rift - This is the one we don’t know about yet. People are speculating, and words have been thrown around by employees of each company that Oculus Store games will not work with SteamVR and as a result the Vive. The Oculus Store will not include the OpenVR SDK making many games essentially Rift exclusives. We will know soon enough. It's not looking good though.

All of this is par for the course though. Valve loves to be as open as possible in an attempt to get people to think of them as benevolent so they can get your money, and Oculus is going down the proprietary app store route and will get your money that way. These companies ultimately don’t care about you and never will.


What countries do these products ship to?

  • HTC Vive - Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States
  • Oculus Rift - Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States
  • PSVR - "Worldwide" according to Sony.

Which one should I get?
Unless you would rather wait for (possibly) cheaper and better hardware in the second revisions you can't really go wrong with any of them. I have a very strong personal preference, but I won't put it in the OP. GDC is days away and is going to contain a lot more specifics on all of the platforms. You may want to wait until then before you preorder anything.


Can I wear my glasses? Do I need two eyes?
There are people who claim they can use it without their glasses. I can't speak to this, but you generally hear that if you are nearsighted you will need to wear glasses as the optics are set to focus at distance objects. Oculus has designed their headset to fit most glasses however. There are different face cushion/gaskets that can be swapped out to fit glasses. There are stories i've read where people couldn't fit their glasses. It's possible that they didn't have the right cushion thing on. The Vive has a manual switch that can push the screen in and out to fit glasses. The screen on the PlaystationVR can be sort of pushed forward and back almost as if on a rail so most glasses should be fine. You hear the same stories for them all though so your mileage may vary. Regarding needing two eyes. How you see in real life is how you will see in VR. You adapt to the lack of a second eye by using other cues in the environment to create a sort of 3D image (parallax for example). You will likely still get a lot out of it. Particularly with tracked controllers. I'm unsure about accessibility options however. This medium will be a test of developers and publishers resolve in caring about accessibility options. That's for sure.


Where are the real games?
Like all brand new game platforms you don't know how a traditional game mechanic will work in VR until you've tried it. Some don't work at all. They make you sick or are simply boring. Why add a "pick up" button when you can actually pick something up? This makes a lot of simple actions people may think are old hat (throwing something, swinging a sword, shooting) incredibly new and novel. It also makes standard movement difficult. Moving with a traditional joystick can make many people sick, and aiming with a joystick will make most everyone sick. New game design methods will have to be developed, and many are developing very rapidly. What about getting back to basics? Getting away from the collectathons and OCD map unveiling that plagues modern game design. That's what most of these early VR games are. For me the VR i've tried has been eye opening and has shown an even brighter light on the downward trend currently facing AAA game design. What one might consider standard games exist. The Oculus Rift will have a number of these at launch. Check out Chronos, Lucky's Tale, and many others for information on that. Ultimately all that I can really say is you have to actually try these things before you truly know what anyone is really talking about. Below are some examples of what I consider to be among the most compelling VR games. Maybe they will convince you.



There are a lot of announced games for VR. There are some like "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" which is only supported and technically announced for the Rift, but the devs have said they are working on Vive support and visa versa. I’m also only listing launch titles and things I think might be of interest right now. If something important is missing let me know.

现在的游戏画面可以做的这么出色 了!!!




















Spot

我争取尝试着将一些有趣的技术类的视频发在我的这个博客中,而且争取每周都有一些更新。
类似命令与征服3中的机器人现在至少能走了。我相信他也可以进行射击的,只是这样做太容易让人恐慌了。但是类似的事情很多人在做。也许以后的战争就应该放点这种机器人,赢的人获得利益多点输的人少点。。然后避免无谓的牺牲。。。




ok我承认我太天真了。。。

State of the Art Oculus Rift

Oculus Rift真心不错的一个虚拟现实的设备。其实Oculus VR并不是第一个有类似的idea的。但是他们的的确确把这个做了起来。甚至还应用到了不少的领域。
留园上有个网友贴上来好多的应用。我也是在这里把他们收藏。


其实完全没必要是应用在老年人身上,嘿嘿。


双手握着游戏sensor。这样捕捉了一些徒手或者冷兵器的战斗动作。在加上oculus的虚拟现实。游戏更带感了。不过现在的宅男是否能长时间挥动他们的小武器呢。。。


飞车类的游戏做的真是越来越真实了。RT系列,极品飞车系列等等着实博人眼球。那么问题来了。。。有这么好的车自己开呀!


宅男们拯救世界怎么能少得了飞机。当然这个飞机主要是开飞机。
 


Omni也是一个十分有趣的技术。刨除oculus不说,这东西灵感简直就是来自跑步机。但是他的确做到了。让我想起哆啦A梦的那个跑步机了。怎么跑都在上面那个,而且周围的世界也都随着走动而改变。omni和oculus加一起,就把那个实现了。甚至可以玩大型游戏了。


当然不是只有omni一个组在做了。ARMA3也是一个类似的。而且做的也相当不错。

这个也是,能跑能跳能坐车。不过好像下面没有东西。如果腰部的环起不到支撑作用的话会不会很累。。。
 


当然,这么身临其境怎么能缺少惊悚,恐怖的元素。就像Microsoft HoloLens宣传片一出来,网友就想到何种恐怖游戏投影在屋子里面的效果。

视频暂时就这些。想想去年的cebit。oculus还真是个大热门。好几个展台都在演示他们的成果。希望oculus能越走越远,走到每个人家里!

Microsoft HoloLens


算是augmented reality的一个突破。抑或是说眼睛行当里面的一个突破。不过不知道google眼镜现在闹哪样了。不是炒作也得相当厉害么。。。不管怎么说我倒是希望随着win10的发行, 这个hololens也能面世。

如果一个硬件能够得到推广,则必须有好的软件进行支持。虽然从视频里面看到的3D效果非常出色,但是不清楚实际操作的时候他能否真的如此逼真。还有就是软件上能否达到这个标准。

不过的确可以尝试一些新的idea。比如家具模拟, 互动游戏(类似看门狗里面的互动游戏), 甚至一些恐怖恶作剧软件,或者恐怖游戏等。

等等。根据屋子空间结构扫描然后自动生成游戏地图算是后续技术了吧。
