Road to VR

Mobile VR solutions like Samsung’s Gear VR currently employ rotational tracking only. Three infrared sensors, detecting the flashes from an HTC base station (Lighthouse technology), are attached to the front of the Gear VR headset and connected to a microcontroller, which collects the timing data.

But we could see that change in the near future, thanks to research from Google which details a system for low-cost, mobile inside out VR controller tracking. But both headsets have controllers which track rotation only, meaning that hand input is limited to more abstract and less immersive movements. Image courtesy Google.

At NVIDIA, we’re inventing that system with cutting-edge tools, sensors, physics, AI, processors, algorithms, data structures, and displays. 450 Mpix/second on an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive today is almost a seven times increase in the number of pixels per second compared to 1080p gaming at 30 FPS. Understanding the Pipeline.

The system featured a head-mounted display with head tracking that could be used to explore virtual environments or real remote images from a camera — foreshadowing future breakthroughs in teleoperation.

— internal interface to talk to different tracking hardware , and that I can use that interface to read tracking data directly from Valve’s Lighthouse driver code without having to mess with client/server architectures. So, let’s have a close look at Lighthouse tracking. And that’s great.

Unfortunately, back then I only did the analysis for the HTC Vive. In the meantime I got access to an Oculus Rift, and was able to extract the necessary raw data from it — after spending some significant effort, more on that later. Figure 5: Visualization of HTC Vive’s lens distortion correction.

And now, the data coming back is way better than anybody could have ever imagined. I think just something so simple as a 360 video — which is very easy to capture now, the cameras are under $5,000, and that’s for 8k cameras — and then being able to overlay the data that you need. HTC VIVE sold a couple million.

It helps that a lot of the big companies, HTC, Oculus, Lenovo, they’re pivoting to enterprise. As far as studios, AC companies had it really easy, because they had all that information, that data, CAD models to start with. You know, these headsets are great, but they’re just a tool to show data. Emily: Exactly.
