Turris VR

VR devs dabbling with quaternions might fight this insightful: youtu.be/d4EgbgTm0Bg

turrisvr.wistia.com/medias/k2gou0o… Seated, hands-free, accessible locomotion. More in the works too. Also, on the lookout for a demo partner to work with. Want some eyeballs on your game/experience? UE4 preferred but not required. Shoot us a note: adam@turrisvr.com #VR #UE4 #gamedev

@twi_mar @XRAccess @Oculus_Dev @maxdiluca Keep up the great work!

We finally present #LocomotionVault at #CHI2021: a tool for anyone working on #VR that has been highlighted as an accessibility resource by @XRAccess and as a tool for developers by @Oculus_Dev. Make sure to join the q&a by @maxdiluca if you have questions about the work.

On Thursday 11th I will join @XR_Bootcamp in a Free master class about our work at @MSFTResearch. I will briefly introduce work in areas raging from Haptics to Avatars and dedicate a larger portion to my latest effort on Locomotion Vault. Register here: eventbrite.com/e/behind-the-s…

Great article from @techradar on the challenges of #VR and #locomotion

@PurpleHazzeClub Will send a DM

Looking to have a few quick conversations with #VR game devs that are using Unreal. If your game has a big map and #locomotion is something you have been thinking through, let’s talk! DMs open.

@pushmatrix Yikes. This THING is terrifying. We have work to do.

Locomotion in VR has just been solved. Pack it in, folks.

Exploring new ways to use your hands in VR ✋

Thought: FB/Oculus holds 45% of the share of headsets on Steam and Valve's Index holds 14%. Let's say the average Oculus headset is $400 and the average Index is $750. By revenue, then, Index has 26% share, which is surprising considering its cost and it's only a year old.

So cool.

@EricPresidentVR Have owned a Radbike for a few years. Getting #2 this year. Best purchase I’ve made in a long time.

Electric Bicycles, yay or nay?

@bcantrill @natbro 😬

An age-old engineering drama, as told by an empty box

@kirbywinfield @natbro @AdamDraper No point of sale loyalty programs?

@natbro @AdamDraper ouch

What’s the worst idea for a startup?

@andreeavr 👋🤓

The idea that navigation is key to gameplay in VR was stuck in my head the whole day. I don't want to hop/slide around & I don't want a spaceship. In VR, I CONTROL space & time. Yet why, despite portals & all, does navigating large areas still feel so unsatisfying?

This is insane! Half-Life: Alyx is the top streamed game on Twitch right now.

After a run of event cancellations due to #COVID-19, how many are holding meetings in #VR now? Any favorite applications?

@mikeBithell @jeandenishaas @MayorAwesome

I do a “camera for animation” lecture in all of my classes but thought that’s a pretty specialized subject. Would anybody be interested in a YouTube series about cameras? How to animate hand held cameras, pitfalls, movie examples, etc.?

@philcsf Oh no! So you are probably (and unfortunately) the best judge on all locomotion matters right now. What a terrible super power (it is super sensing in a way).

@philcsf Haha! Recover yet?
