Believe about virtual reality, everyone more or less, there are all sorts of question marks. Now the homes are competing for territory, but we are still foggy. Net share of Lei Feng today FAQ!
Q: virtual reality: what the hell?
A: actually is an immersive virtual reality software. When you’re using a cell phone can feel the outside world at least, virtual reality is different, it will often use a helmet or a large pair of spectacles put your vision completely covered, in-house show different images and video, gives you a sense of being personally. Left and right when you turn your head, you really can see around the 3D scene, just like in the real world.
Q: good, but virtual reality not too long ago there was meh, why now to rehash?
A: Yes, this technology was born in 1955, even older than our fathers @-@.
But why is this point being made? There are two reasons.
First, based on the massive smart phone now and realize its technology costs have become relatively inexpensive. Smartphones can already provide us perceptions of high precision, and reduces the cost of a virtual reality need to measure, such as tracking movement of the head or something like that.
Secondly, the emergence of raise is simply money. Everybody is no stranger to Oculus VR, it’s first prototype was completed in the garage, but after it all on Kickstarter to raise, to fire it low key. After that. … … Facebook and saw a it and voted $ 2 billion … …
Q: my little heart was shocked! Why Facebook is so unhappy about going to put money in virtual reality?
A: you do not understand it. Zuckerberg thinks of Facebook’s future is a “virtual world”, people can engage in a real dialogue on the virtual streets, instead of, as now with devices to interact. Perhaps in the future, Facebook will allow billions of people playing a game. Batman Samsung note 3 case
Q: wow.
A: I make you surprised. There may in the future, your grandmother would walk into your reception in the virtual world.
Q: I understand. Now in addition to the Oculus VR, if there are a lot of companies are experimenting with virtual reality?
A: Yes. A lot of companies are doing, it is also more difficult a problem.
Q: Oh. (Ready to end his topics)
A: Yes …! Not that complicated, it can be divided into three categories.
Q: I’m listening.
A: HA HA. Can be divided into three production lines:
1. entry level helmet. Could actually turn the smartphone into a mask in the same instrument, one eye, this is the most simple virtual reality! Google has created cardboard prototypes now, Samsung has also a priced $ 200 (er, are a little expensive but YY they have a cheaper one God).
2. Advanced Edition helmet. Oculus Rift to representatives and the Sony Project Morpheus, differ from typical screens and headphones that come with it. Users can access mobile phones or computers, and wore it to watch movies or play games (Oculus Rift pricing: $ 350).
3. augmented reality: is currently in the study … …
Q: “augmented reality” sounds a bit scary too.
A: Yes.
Q: so then what is it?
A: it is people living in the virtual world of virtual reality, augmented reality is something virtual and reality as a whole. For example, Google Maps Navigation arrows will actually appear on the side of the road on the road, you crush on a girl at the bar, her Facebook profile will emerge in her head. (In fact, no one imagine how implementation would be, I also speculated that some of the examples)
Hardware designs become more complex, in order to render more real world, developers might need a global map in order to track your location, may require a real-time GPS; in order to capture the things around you, may require high precision camera or even the ability to retrieve information from the cloud.
Q: it’s too hard now! Plus stunt and I didn’t do it!
A: Yes, but still are likely to bite this hard stuff. The HoloLens and the Magic of Microsoft Leap (Google brought out 500 million dollars! ) ‘S helmet has been developed in the right.
Q:Magic why can Leap into the thigh?
A: the company has developed a micro-projector, image projected directly into people’s eyes, it sounds really cool.
Q: since the hardware is, that someone produced it?
A: it must be Yes. Oculus, for example, already have relevant graphics and game production was in full swing. Earlier this year, NBA Director of Adam Silver said Oculus Rift at home can be used to watch live games. batman Samsung galaxy note 3 case
Moreover, these technologies also plans to enter Hollywood, Oculus and Pixar collaboration to make virtual reality movies. Magic Leap has hired a special effects team Weta Workshop of Lord of the rings, is not known to be something special.
Q: wow … … Felt great pomp.
A: well, presumably.
Q: the estimate?
A: because it can fail.
Q: failed?
A: you know, we talked about before is let you wear a helmet, in a virtual reality tour of the beautiful vision. But now there is no control of virtual reality equipment, such as what is the corresponding mouse in virtual reality to do? Oculus as the industry leader, said they will offer solutions within this year, but to achieve easy? All of this requires an external camera and other high-end hardware instruments, even more expensive than the helmet itself.
Q: so, if I could find the control scheme, then everything will be right?
A: it is not so. Mentioned in three different categories, which are completely different. So, they also need a standard to unify, may require developers fix the programming content, to fit all of the glasses. So far, the Oculus, and Samsung is doing well, while Microsoft welcomes any company use of HoloLens augmented reality software platform, but that is not a sign.
To be honest, so that virtual reality would be well? This is not necessarily. Magic Leap is now in a State of highly confidential testing. Microsoft also in secret experiments. Virtual reality and augmented reality might one day be able to achieve unification, but firms that compete with go? We will never know the future, we will be wearing a virtual reality equipment to go out.
Q: wait, are you saying I might be wearing such a device in a public place?
A: of course, such as GoogleGlass, although it does not belong to any kind of virtual reality or augmented reality, and it feels like it is also saddled with a lot of notoriety. Wearing Oculus Rift helmets went out though it seems a bit strange, but maybe one day when this kind of technology are set in life, things that everyone will treat it as taken for granted.
