[hide]Overview
The VR rig we've always wanted but never had. Hackerspaces allow folks access to all kinds of new things. Why not VR?
The basics
- Head mounted display
- head tracking
- computer vision
- gyro
- head tracking
The extras
- haptic feedback
- omni-directional treadmill
- actual moving treadmill
- rotating platform with traditional rollers or tread
- bed of bearings
- slippery bowl
- slick shoes with a little bit of grip on the toe
- human hampster ball
- actual moving treadmill
Attempt #1
Stumbled upon a headmounted display at Essex right after reading Ready Player One and decided it was fate so I bought it. --strages (talk) 21:26, 21 August 2013 (CDT)
Headmounted display
- Sony HMZ T1 (strages)
- dual screen (one per eye)
- 720p per eye
- HDMI input with HDMI pass through for an additional screen
- Supports 3D
- Blu-ray
- split screen stereoscopic
- 5.1 surround sound via headphones
- Cost: ~$190
- dual screen (one per eye)
Notes
- I need to move the screens closer to the eyes to better fill the field of view for better immersion. Right now it's like a 150" display 8' away. --strages (talk) 21:32, 21 August 2013 (CDT)
Head tracking
- Gyration Airmouse Go Plus
- came with a wireless keyboard
- requires trigger on mouse to be depressed to use in the air
- Cost: ~$65
Hand tracking
- Wiimote (accelerometer) with the Motion Plus addon (gyro) x2
- 6dof
- Cost: ~$50
Notes
- I have a nunchuck to go with the wiimote which has it's own accelerometer but I'm not sure if I can work it into this setup in place of a second wiimote. --strages (talk) 17:58, 27 September 2013 (CDT)
