VRdepth Posted April 26, 2014 Report Posted April 26, 2014 Greetings gamers, makers and technologist, This is Sky from Depth VR. For those of you who are not familiar with us, we are a Virtual Reality hardware team based out of Beijing.(We have absolutely nothing to do with Oculus-Rift !). We respect what other teams have accomplished but we are bringing new ideas and designs to the VR hardware world. We are reaching out to you today because we built our devices with you in mind and we want get inputs / feedback from you. Our device is a display-attached device , an optical tracking device attached to the top of the screen . It tracks your head position, according to the relationship between your eyes and the screen, the 3D effects will be done with subtle adjustments , so you will feel like that you are looking at a Real Object instead of a flat image . Here is What it is looks like :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2obOpX13wA&feature=youtu.beAnd the device itself looks like this : The device connects to your computer via a USB cable. You can very easily make your game showing this effect by applying our SDK in your applications. We will release specific development steps in the near future on our facebook page, and it's really simple, please be on the lookout for more exciting updates from DepthVR!Our SDK now supports multiple 3D-Engines : 1. Unity2. Ogre3. Opengl & Direct3D4. Unreal Engine (under development…)5. Other popular engines will be supported SOON ! We are starting a kickstarter campaign soon and would love to hear back from you. You can get the latest info here : Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/vr.depthTwitter:https://twitter.com/VRDepth Nexusdog, iwxanthi, WHISKEY and 2 others 5 Quote
blackdog Posted April 26, 2014 Report Posted April 26, 2014 Wow, congrats, I've always been convinced that this type of solution should have been explored much more aggressively. You can't reach these results with a single webcam I guess, but it's the direction I like things going to be. Quote
leplubodeslapin Posted April 26, 2014 Report Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) It looks nice, it reminds me a lot this tech : This guy used a wii-mote as a infrared camera and fixed infrared lights on glasses, like this : But your 3D demo looks much better, congratz Edited April 26, 2014 by leplubodeslapin Quote
text_fish Posted April 27, 2014 Report Posted April 27, 2014 This looks really cool. I've joined on Facebook, but you guys really need to make a website because there are a hell of a lot of people out there who don't use Facebook or Twitter and you're missing out on their support! Quote
VRdepth Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Posted April 28, 2014 Wow, congrats, I've always been convinced that this type of solution should have been explored much more aggressively. You can't reach these results with a single webcam I guess, but it's the direction I like things going to be. Thank you, and you're right! Indeed, the device on top of the display is a stereo camera. We capture the three-dimensional structure of the entire scene, the principle of which is similar with Leapmotion... Main role of this device is to catch the spatial position of the two eyes. However, we also captured the finger posture and position by this device, which is being developed functional ^_^ And the main difference between our gadget and leapmotion is that it is twice the speed. Ultra-high response speed is very important in this system, which ensures the timely manufacture of perfect illusion. Quote

We will soon release a lot of new demo, and we want to use video illustrate this idea. please stay tuned! Quote
