VR Game Programming

Prototyping and play-testing games of the future.

Take $200 worth of PVC and attach it to your Oculus and Joystick/Throttle/Pedal setup and what do you get?  A cheap, human-powered 2-axis motion simulator connected to Elite:Dangerous!!  There is also a bass-shaker attached to the seat to literally feel the engines.  This feels like a Disney-level theme-park ride, but it’s free to ride and there are no lines!!!  Check out the Joyrider (which I didn’t make, just advertising) and buy the plans now! http://www.acesim.com/main.html  You’ll be glad you did!

If you would like to prototype Hololens apps, or just can’t wait for that SEER or Wave AR kickstarter... try my thing!  I haven’t added the depth sensor (or maybe Leap Motion) but I plan too!  Instructions pending.  For now checkout Thingiverse to print this version out:  http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:721498

Well I managed to get something working!  I took GearVR out of the loop unfortunately, but what I got was still a fun conglomerate of 3rd party tech :)  Here we see my girlfriend trying the demo.  It was a simple blue room with white 3d cubes, but you had a gun that was motion tracked and it fired... all wireless!

GLSL-PROJECTRON

Genetic programming project by Andy Hall populates polygons based on an image in 3D:

Backstory: a month and a half ago I left my job to make an indie game. One of the many things on my to-do list was “Learn shader programming”, and around that time I ran across this blog post by Roger Alsing about using genetic algorithms to create images. So I tried the same idea in 3D to experiment with GLSL. Basically I run a pseudo-genetic algorithm on triangles in 3D space while comparing their 2D projection to a target image. The result is a chaotic bunch of polygons that happen to look like the target, but only when viewed from just the right angle.

You can play around with your own images with this here (just drag and drop an image in the space)

You can find out more about the project at Andy’s website here

FYI: Another recent genetic programming / generative art project by Chris Cummins can be found here

Just finished taping off the camera visibility volume, while PS3 updates (PS4 kinda took over, I wish they'd release Move.me for PS4)

FultonX @seanfultonhall tweeted: Welp, remembered @PSMove sent motion via wifi & wanted to use my @adafruit Trinket Bluetooth Nerf gun with my @Gear_VR so trying it today :) - 20 Dec Sign up today and follow FultonX.

Announcing a wearable collaboration with Adafruit: Arduino Gemma @arduino

Announcing a wearable collaboration with Adafruit: Arduino Gemma. YAY!!!! Arduino Gemma preview – Final board coming late autumn During his saturday morning presentation at Maker Faire Rome, ...

If you or your kids have never worked with Arduino, then you don't know how easy it is to make robots.  Even less intimidating are electronic clothes that only light up and stuff and react to motion... shhhh!  They won't even know they are already building robots!  (Mech suits, whatever)

I'm still having an issue with the comport in unity.  Basically the data comes in plenty fast in an arduino sketch, but something about snagging the data in Unity is slowing it down, presumable some missing interface to properly work with and handle the input stream.  Still fun though.  Found some 9 dollar DOF chips elsewhere, so hoping to make a $60 Finger-tracking glove to combine with Sixense STEM/Hydra for cheap full body tracking w/ fingers!

Oculus to Debut Rift Developer Kit 2 Next Month at GDC 2014? - Road to Virtual Reality

The schedule for this year's Game Developer Conference is online, and one talk scheduled to be given by Oculus VR may give attended a glimpse of what they can expect from the long awaited next-gen Oculus Rift Dev Kit (DK2).

Look To The Stars - Dev

For VRJam 2013 we created Look to the Stars. We are continuing to develop it because we love it and...

Here is the blog for your favorite donut cat!

Chest piece for homemade VR suit. #Razer Hydra mounted to a psmove controller. This tracks the chest and hands. Along with biped IK rules, this is "step one" for low latency DIY full body VR in Unity projects. This is so I can test my game projects before the #Sixense STEM gets here.

The studio, featuring the Oculus Rift hanging from the ceiling as well as USB extenders for a "VR Suit" connection (i.e Razer Hydra and PSMove controllers) also a PSEye. The Kinect also featured, as well as 3 extra PSEyes. (at Lightmagnet VR Game Studio)
