With so many in the hands of developers, there are no doubt many games in the works. It currently only works with personal computers, but support for mobile devices is in the works, and gaming systems may be next. With these devices, you can recharge your devices in an environmentally friendly way and in places where you can’t access electricity otherwise. If you’re a newcomer to bird photography, visit places where birds are accustomed to human activity, such as popular seashores — your subjects will be less likely to scatter when you approach. Felson recommends introducing yourself to the neighbors on all sides of your house, particularly the ones that live behind you, since burglars will most likely enter from a back door or window. It’s no wonder that if I take a picture in the house, especially in the library, an orb occasionally appears. While the John Book of old would have used a pay phone, now he doesn’t have to leave the comfort of his car to take and make important phone calls.
With a virtual assistant or readily available office services, you can work from your basement but have a professional address, and a receptionist answering your calls. The main things that have to be integrated are motion tracking and 3-D rendering along with distortion adjustment to produce the stereoscopic images (a slightly different one for each eye). The Rift uses stereoscopic 3-D rendering, a high-resolution display, a field of view 110 degrees wide and ultra-low latency head tracking to immerse you in a virtual world that should prove to be more believable than any VR most of us have witnessed before. Physical modification of the Oculus Rift unit itself is not recommended, however, since the company may not be able to support the modified device. As it always does, technology has improved by leaps and bounds, graphics have gotten better, and now with the Oculus Rift, it sounds like more enjoyable and believable VR is within our grasp.
The North Pole crew might call it something different, but rest assured that Santa’s sleigh is almost certainly equipped with the most advanced autonomous, self-flying technology out there. Little known to those outside the locksmith and burglary trades, the bump key is a master key normally used by locksmiths to help those who have locked themselves out of their own premises. Early impressions of the developer model have been largely positive. There are also references in the guide to specific Oculus VR software features like distortion shaders, predictive tracking and the Oculus head model that developers can use to improve gamer comfort without having to reinvent the wheel. It’s still not the holodeck, but I can’t wait to try out the 1080p consumer model whenever it becomes available. There are a few caveats spelled out in their license agreement, including that any modifications must be shared with Oculus VR, that the software may not be used to interface with other commercial VR headsets that aren’t approved by Oculus VR, and that the code must be distributed in whole, not part.
RocketCam’s first blastoff on space shuttle Atlantis in October 2002 provided viewers with spectacular video — but only for a few minutes. The biggest culprit is lag time between the user moving and the video image keeping up, which is mostly a hardware problem. The guide also advises developers to include optional user settings, including the ability to change speed, acceleration size, field of view and the effect of collisions, as well as inclusion of a monoscopic display mode that makes the image the same for both eyes (which is supposed to decrease simulator sickness). The document includes advice on how to best handle image rendering, user perspective, degree of stereoscopic 3-D depth, camera movement in relation to head movement, in-game speed and change of motion, placement of user interface and objects, audio, user control, visual design and other technical and design considerations. Unfortunately, not just any 3-D game can be played with the device just yet. The110-degree field of view extends into your peripheral vision area and, in conjunction with the lenses, is intended to help immerse you into a game. Using it with glasses is not recommended, however, due to the risk of scratching your eyeglass lenses and the certainty of reducing your field of view.
