Infinadeck is an active omnidirectional VR treadmill which has been in development since at least 2014. A new video shows the treadmill now using Vive Trackers for enhanced tracking, which appears to have increased the responsiveness of the device. The Infinadeck is set to launch this week. Infinadeck is fairly unique among VR treadmills that we’ve seen in the past as it’s an active VR treadmill, which uses moving parts, rather than a passive VR treadmill, which relies on low fricti

Sony unleashes VR music video with projection mapping technology at SXSW. If you’re unfamiliar with the annual South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, it’s basically a celebration of, well, everything. Film, television, video games, art, music, comedy, technology, politics, every influential aspect of our lives all colliding together for nine days of pure cultural ecstasy. 2018’s festivities were no exception, hosting a massive number of brands, influential speakers and great minds.

Because VR is so demanding, hardware makers have issue ‘Recommended’ or ‘VR Ready’ guidelines to help customers understand what kind of hardware they need for a good VR experience. For the most part, the VR industry’s biggest players have agreed on the key parts of that recommended hardware. With the introduction of the Vive Pro, HTC is now suggesting the more powerful GTX 1070 as its ‘Recommended Spec’ for the Vive Pro, differing from the GTX 1060 sugge

How the ‘Golden City’ is embracing emerging tech and fast becoming a hub for VR. It’s a truism among VR creators that the best use of the medium is to allow you to do things that are either impossible or extremely difficult to experience in real life. By that yardstick, Mission 828 certainly passes with flying colours, specially if – like me – you’re petrified of heights.

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.

As with every big event, I’m writing a post to try to summarize the most important news that have come out from the GDC 2018 … so that if you have lost something, you just need to read this post to get in par with the rest of the world. So, are you ready? Let’s start! Vive Pro price and release date. HTC has finally revealed the price of the Vive Pro : it will cost $799 just to have the headset (no controller and no base stations, so you must already have a Vive 1 kit) and will

GDC 2018 was definitely not my first rodeo at a major gaming event and I have seen my fair share of the gaming dog and pony show. Having been to several E3's and even having been present at the controversial THQ Homefront red balloon event , I was waiting to see who would be the VR company that people would be gossiping about months before events like they do about the Bethesda's and Naughty Dog's of the PC and console world.

Now that ARCore is out of its developer preview, it's time to get cracking on building augmented reality apps for the supported selection of Android phones available. Since Google's ARCore 1.0 is fairly new, there's not a lot of information out there for developers yet — but we're about to alleviate that. Both Google's (ARCore) and Apple's (ARKit) augmented reality solutions are for their supported existing devices — without requiring additional hardware.

So, you’ve purchased a 360° camera and you captured some interesting footage worthy of sharing on social media.

For VR to be an immersive experience, your visual, auditory and tactile senses need to convince your brain that it’s in a believable environment. The new HTC VIVE Pro VR headset , powered by NVIDIA GPUs, makes a persuasive argument. The device, announced at CES, improves display resolution by nearly 80 percent compared with its predecessor (2880 x 1600 resolution vs. 2160 x 1200).

The infant is struggling to breathe, and you’re a medical student trying to save her life. The emergency room is a frenzy of beeping monitors, bustling nurses and a panicky mother. And nothing you’ve tried is working. It feels real, but luckily it’s all virtual reality. ER doctors need to be prepared for anything, but they get little practice treating rare conditions they don’t face every day.
