” Head tracking is an essential part of all mixed reality technology, both VR and AR, and the so-called inside-out variety in a VR headset makes set up dramatically easier. Very early prototype controllers from Valve that simulated gripping and dropping objects. That said, I’d like to see Microsoft provide a solution here.

The older DX9-based support for DK2 was decent, if it played nicely with your hardware, but the easier to use ‘Direct Mode’ was temperamental at best on my system. The sense of scale is immediate, due to the seamless head tracking and excellent stereoscopic 3D.

I am highly susceptible to simulator sickness, so many games with joystick have been known to ruin me for hours after taking off the headset. Rift owners susceptible to simulator sickness will just have to suffer through it until/unless Touch support is patched in. Best of all, the game lets you mix and match.

At the same time, it uses your phone’s internal gyros to provide the head tracking. This transforms your phone into a VR headset screen, simulating devices like the HTC Vive. Whether you have a small hardware budget or a cutting-edge setup, the future of VR is being built by indie developers just like you.

For Radeon ReLive for VR, that currently leaves only a handful of decent VR games which can be played with pure gamepad input (which can come through the PC or via Bluetooth through the headset), the likes of Project Cars 2 (2017) , Elite Dangerous (2015) , and other simulator-focused titles.

But does this survival horror release from CM Games hold up on standalone VR hardware? It forces you to keep track of a lot of little details that most other games would gloss over or ignore, but that only helps to bring you further into its bizarre, slow-burn apocalypse of a world. Read on for our full Into the Radius Quest 2 review.

I was lucky enough to get a job at UC Santa Barbara in a combination social psychology lab and computer science hub , where we were using VR to run experiments, to simulate the social world. I learned how to build hardware because back in the late ’90s, we weren’t using beautiful inside-out tracking systems.

Although coverage is increased, there’s still some tracking deadzones above and below the headset which can sometimes be annoying but never significantly impacted gameplay. Overall precision and latency for controller-tracking is acceptable but not exceptional, showing more latency and jitter than we see with Oculus or SteamVR tracking.

The renderer uses an algorithm called ‘path tracing’ that photo-realistically simulates light in the virtual scene. Instead, the head tracking data are routed to a GPU stage that appears after rendering is complete. Another key enabling idea for modern VR hardware is Lens Distortion.

But for some of us, it was also an unlikely hero—the Hydra was the first big key to unlocking presence in virtual reality, thanks to its positional tracking. It was the era of the DK1, the first of the Oculus Rift prototypes available to Kickstarters, offering only rotational head tracking during its initial foray into the rebirth of VR.

The chipset is the central unit of the headset, it is like its brain , the hardware computing the images that you see, that gives hw acceleration for video encoding, computer vision, AI, etc… The more powerful the chipset, the bigger the brain of your headset, that so can have more features and offer more realism.
