What does your project do, and how does it work? We’ve built a an experiment-in-a-game, allowing people to test different input devices by playing 4-second minigames displayed in the Oculus Rift. The minigames require participants to complete four atomic tasks: selecting, moving, and rotation objects in the virtual […]
We had a lot of scattered code, so we’ve consolidating things: Everything now works on windows, on a single computer. Everybody met and discussed plans for the final form of the app: did we want to work on polish, adding more devices, or more tasks? We decided on more […]
What we did. We have our second task: rotation. We also addressed two problems: 1: All of our tests so far are screenspace mouse tests; this means we need to see a screenspace mouse cursor in VR. This is done, but it was harder than expected. We ended up sidestepping […]
What we did This week we all looked around for interesting things that will help us brainstorm — things people are doing in VR, things we think maybe people should try in VR. We meet on Friday to share them. Last week: Nicky and Ryan tried compiling OSVR. Dave and […]
Team Exploring Interfaces – Alex, Dave, Nicky, Ryan Exploring Interface in Virtual Reality Keyboard and mouse are the standard for 2D, non-immersive interfaces; do they work in 3D immersive interfaces, or are thumbsticks, or wands, or hand trackers best? Or maybe, what are they each best at? What kinds of things […]
We’re studying perception in virtual reality, and we need your help! We’ll ask you to perform simple tasks in virtual space as we observe and ask about your experiences. Sessions last about 40-minutes, and you’ll get $5! Times are flexible; we want as many people as we can get this […]
