At CES 2014, we sit down with Next3D co-founders David Cole and D.J. Roller who are acting on what I’d wager everyone involved with VR has thought about at some point—live virtual reality sports. Next3D has created a platform called FULL-COURT for broadcasting live sports, up to 4k resolution, with a wide field of view that allows you to look around the action as though you were really there using the Oculus Rift.
At CES 2014, Road to VR had the opportunity to meet with Palmer Luckey, co-founder of Oculus and inventor of the Oculus Rift, and Nate Mitchell, VP of Product at Oculus. We got our hands on the much anticipated ‘Crystal Cove’ Oculus Rift prototype and sat down to have the dynamic duo answer our curious inquiries.
Another hectic day full of cool VR technology and great people; here’s a breakdown of what we did and saw on day 2 of the International CES 2014.
CastAR, the unique AR/VR gaming headset coming from Technical Illusions, made an appearance behind closed doors at CES 2014. Road to VR is the first to go hands-on with the latest HD prototype.
In a surprising appearance, the team behind Eve Valkyrie showed up at Intel’s CES 2014 booth with four Oculus Rift HD prototypes connected in a networked environment running multiplayer matches of the forthcoming virtual reality space dog-fighter.
Avegant invited Road to VR to have an early look at a prototype of their new transforming virtual retina display based HMD, targeted squarely at the portable entertainment market. Paul James goes hands on with the Avegant Glyph.
A tweet sent my Oculus VR Software Engineer Tom Forsythe seems to finally confirm that a new Oculus Rift prototype will be shown at CES 2014. Here’s a roundup the credible speculation on the next generation Oculus Rift.
We’ve got some fresh new images straight from Avegant showing their plans for their upcoming VRD (Virtual Retina Display) based HMD, Glyph.
Atomic Motion Systems have announced their intentions to add HMD support (starting with the Oculus Rift) to their motion simulator platforms to create the ultimate in motion feedback.
A recent Wired article featuring a visit to Oculus VR HQ includes an image that might just hold clues to the secretive Oculus Rift 2.0 (or DK2) and it’s rumoured positional tracking capabilities. We take a look.
Cloudhead have announced the release of version 2.0 of their early access preview for backers of the The Gallery: Six Elements Kickstarter.
There’s one genre that seems to be rushing to adopt the Oculus Rift – Racing Simulations. iRacing, LFS and Assetto Corsa all now support the Rift, we take a look.
Earlier this month, Virtuix Omni, the omnidirectional VR treadmill, was shown to a national (U.S.) audience when featured on the venture investment reality show Shark Tank. Virtuix CEO Jan Goetgeluk shares inside details about the experience with Road to VR.
Road to VR is heading to Las Vegas to attend the annual Consumer Electronics Show in January, which is shaping up to be a Red Letter Day for Virtual Reality.
