So you place the camera in the room you're going to do VR in, and then you also have to be within a certain distance and not be blocked by furniture, right?

So what happens next, when the camera has filmed your head and your hands holding Move controllers? How does that translate into the virtual reality?

Camera films my head turning right ---> picture on VR screen is turned left?

Maybe this will help you:

From the article:

"Head tracking means that when you wear a VR headset, the picture in front of you shifts as you look up, down and side to side or angle your head. A system called 6DoF (six degrees of freedom) plots your head in terms of your x, y and z axis to measure head movements forward and backwards, side to side and shoulder to shoulder, otherwise known as pitch, yaw and roll."

But what about up and down?? Sure I can look up and down inside the VR world? So then it should be called eight degrees of freedom.

Up and down is mentioned in that excerpt. Also, X, Y and Z axis. What more could you want, or rather expect?

Why do you have to use complicated words like "excerpt"?

Anyway, yes in my "excerpt" up and down was mentioned, but not in the context of 6DoF (six degrees of wisdom, I mean freedom), which made me confused.

So a good explanation of that is what I want - or rather expect.

It's not a complicated word.

There are only three dimensions as far as space is concerned. These are labeled X (breadth), Y (height) and Z (depth). A system that can register movement on all three axis covers all possible movements.

Well, aren't you wise?!

Guess I'll have to take your word for it then.

Hey Rold, how interested are you in VR?

Plus what platforms u play on at the moment, and whaich ones you could consider for VR.



LipeJJ on 09 February 2016

Good price if true, I'd probably only buy it after a price cut tho.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I hardly think so thats going to be the price.After seeing all that it comes with, and while PSVR isnt as powerful as the Rift, I cant imagine it being that far behind, I really dont think its going to be 300.I guess its more around 400 dollars.But we will see.Until E 3 we should have the price on it

1. sony is hardware company 

2. sony is a game publisher 

3. sony has playstation

4. sony can sell psvr at a loss of $50-$100 knowing that they still get money from every ps4 out there 

5. once OR is sold to you, the buck stops there

6. did i mention hardware company ?

All I know is that I am buying it day one, baby.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

I am hardly interested, because I don't expect any games to make good use of it. I don't see any video game maker going all out on the upcoming devices.

I play games on the 3DS and Wii U.

 

what a pointless comment. since its in the nature for a game build for VR to make good use of VR - and there are quite a lot of good VR games already. and just because you dont see them doesnt mean they dont exist. isnt sony considered a "video game maker"? how much more going all out can there be than doing VR hard- and software?



Hunting Season is done...

I really don´t understand the porn argument. I mean how is porn being consumed today? It´s either a local movie (file , DvD or BD) or it is being streamed via your browser. Of course sony won´t allow the "porn app xxx" in its store. However they won´t stop their VR-Mediaplayer from playing back Pornographic content.



      
Yup...RO friggin rocked

If its 299, it may well do well, IF it has a good software lineup.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
