This week we had two bad news related to the Covid-19: Valve has reassured that the Index will get back in stock before the launch of Alyx, but due to the virus, the amount of devices available will be much less than they hoped for; Sony and Facebook have pulled out from GDC. At this point, I wonder if GDC may be canceled as the MWC.

MeKiwi is a very interesting indie studio in Finland : they have published a very popular VR game like Cave Digger, and they have also experimented with something artistic with ArtPulse. Since VRTK was so deeply ingrained in the game, we ended up cloning the VRTK Simulator mode and creating a separate First Person SDK based on it.

And talking about “cool” things (pun intended), today I’m traveling to Helsinki, Finland, where I hope to have a great time at MatchXR. Who will it be… Sony or Meta? Italy won the Tennis Davis Cup, and that was pretty cool to see (the match between Sinner and Djokovic was just incredible). Will we meet there?

Sure, having full human eye resolution makes it possible to simulate visually anything , right? For training&simulations, the same things. Your simulation can look 1:1 to real life. What we have here is two really high-quality cameras and ISPs (image signal processors) from Sony and Socionext.
