Unlock a terrifying AR experience with the exclusive 2018 NYCC edition of John Carpenter’s ‘Tales For a HalloweeNight Vol 4.’ When it comes to classic slasher horror films, the name John Carpenter is almost always the first that comes to mind. Ever since he introduced the world to Michael Myers in his 1978 terror classic, Halloween , very few people have been able to sleep soundly after hearing a faint crack coming from their closet.

With recent advancements in inside-out tracking on standalone VR headsets, the tantalizing possibility of ‘world-scale’ VR experiences—those unhindered by limited tracking volumes or even physical barriers—is coming into focus. A pair of developers have created a prototype VR game that’s played across an entire football field. ‘Return to Grindelind’, as its called by creators Jeremy Kirshbaum and Alexander Goldman, is a rough prototype of a world-scale VR game that&

When in 2015 I had my first Samsung Gear VR, I was amazed: finally, I could enjoy high-quality tether-less virtual reality. Yes, it was a 3 DOF toy, so I couldn’t move my head in games, but it was the first time I tried a sensation of freedom in VR. And it was great also because it was portable : some evenings, I took it with me and let my friend try high-quality virtual reality.

In what might be the longest Kickstarter campaign conclusion to date, more than four years following estimated deliveries of the STEM VR controller, Sixense says they will fully refund all backers and pre-orders. Sixense was once a name central to the early VR community. The company built the technology behind the magnetically tracked Razer Hydra controller which was one of the only consumer-available 6DOF controllers available when the first Oculus Rift development kit (DK1) started shipping.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Creating high-quality, 360-degree stereo video experiences can be complex and computationally intensive work, especially for real-time streaming. With the latest release of NVIDIA’s VRWorks 360 Video SDK , it just got easier. Version 2.0 of the SDK adds support for NVIDIA CUDA 10 and our latest Turing-based Quadro and GeForce RTX GPUs. It accelerates stitching of 360-degree video on RTX-powered GPUs by up to 2x relative to Pascal-based GPUs.

Halloween is a great excuse to scare the living daylights out of someone you love. I don’t know about you, but I love experiences that make me want to scream at the top of my lungs in terror. Of course, there are always traditional scary movies or haunted houses to partake in, but why not take it a step further by getting frightened in virtual reality?
