HTC Vive / Valve SteamVR

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTITJSSRUso

Valve's SteamVR headset has been blown wide open, ahead of its appearance at the Game Developers Conference next week. It's named Vive, HTC are making it (yes, HTC), and it boasts two 1200x1080 displays that refresh at 90 frames per second. This, according to HTC, allows the device to "[fill] your field of vision in all directions, eliminating the jitter common to previous VR technologies".

So yes, turns out Valve are collaborating with HTC on the headset, which also boasts a "gyrosensor, accelerometer, and laser position sensor", along with something called the 'Steam VR base station' that will allow you to control your avatar's movement by physically walking around your room, "in spaces up to 15 feet by 15 feet". HTC-made wireless game controllers will be available for more complex interactions that don't rely on your feet.

The HTC Vive will be supported by game developers including fishing sim makers Dovetail Games, but also by Google, HBO, Lionsgate, and places like the National Palace Museum. The consumer version is planned for release in 2015 (yep, this year), and there will doubtless be many more details at GDC in a few days' time. In the meantime, here's a brief video showing a bunch of nonsense and a dude taking the goggles off

naujas HTC Vive - Pre rodytas CES 2016 

 

HTC Vive latest news

05/01/2016: The HTC Vive’s second iteration has been revealed at CES 2016.

Dubbed the ‘Vive Pre’, it’s the second developer edition, rather than the final product. HTC will be distributing 7,000 units to developers in preparation for the official launch in April.

As hinted at by earlier leaks, the headset and controllers have both been refined and redesigned – although the leaked images weren’t 100 per cent accurate.

The controllers have had an overhaul, and are now supposedly smoother and more easy to use, with improved haptic feedback and inbuilt rechargeable batteries offering four hours play on a single charge.

As well as the expected improvements to ergonomics and comfort, the major new addition to the Vive’s headset is the inclusion of a front-facing camera.

This promises the ability to blend the physical and virtual worlds, ostensibly for functional purposes like having conversations, picking up real-world objects and – presumably - not tripping over pets. 

If it works accurately, then this should provide a major advantage in real-world usability. It also ties into improvements in the Lighthouse base stations, which reportedly offer better tracking than the previous version.

“For too long, the promise of virtual reality has been little more than a promise,” HTC chairwoman and CEO Cher Wang said. “Today we stand on the precipice of a new era. Vive is creating a world where the only limit is human imagination.” 

 

idomus nauji pulteliai , priekine kamera kuri leis netgi vaiksciot po patalpa ir i nieka neatsitrenkt. nebent laidas susipainios tarp koju ... 

tik vieno dalyko nesuprantu tiek sitam tiek oculus. kam tuos pultelius laikyt rankose. na uzsidek juos kaip pirstines kokias ir tiek , pamirsai kad turi, judini rankas ir valio, o cia reikia juos laikyt realiai ir nepamest aisku.

geriausias dalykas : tu gali atsisest i kede su VR 

The Vive features two 1080 x 1200 screens with 90fps refresh rates and a taller than usual 9: 5 ratio that expands how far up and down you can look without moving your head.

HTC Vive is $799, Ships ‘Early April’ And You Can Answer Phone Calls In VR
 

The consumer Vive includes Bluetooth phone integration to keep you connected while in VR

The HTC Vive will cost $200 more than its chief competition, the Oculus Rift. The $799 headset, powered by Valve’s SteamVR, will ship with a controller for each hand and a pair of “Lighthouse” laser base stations to track movement in a room-scale environment.

The price was announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where it was also confirmed Vive will ship with an internal microphone and integrated Bluetooth support to work with a variety of smartphones. For a limited time, the system will come bundled with two popular titles: Job Simulator and Fantastic Contraption.

atrodo sony VR bus pigiausias VR ir nereikalaus nieko papildomai tik PS4.

na ir pc uz tokia suma tikrai neuzteks kad pavezt VR. na pavezt tai yra normaliai palost o ne minimum. tai investiciju reikia dideliu gana. ir su visu tuo pasidarai kompa vienam zmogui ir tik vienam.

bet kadangi sitas VR tai tik steam , tai vel nepilnavertis pc VR.

na ir RIft tik $600 palyginus su situ steam VR

na del to su kuo geriau lost cia dar klausimas. pvz RIft palaiko ir tuos zaidimus kurie is esmes nebuvo kurti VR tiesiog jam pritaikyti, todel ir su pulteliu gali lost. VR valdikliai cia jau turi but zaidimai isskirtinai jiem kurtas.kitas dalykas  Steam, tikrai ne visi PC zaidimai yra steam, ypac visokie space simai kurie geriausia butu su VR lost.
