Drifting Reality



What?

Let's play with VR technologies/interfaces, hack some cool demos, and kick start projects.

We'll have a pitching session friday where everyone will present their ideas,then teams will be formed according to interest.

If this is your first time coming to hsgr, checkout our vision page

Aftermath

  • skmp & wizgrav had an "augmented virtuality" demo working, using kinect & magic numbers
  • skmp got wired ps3wand working with moveapi for windows
  • ododos hacked a bit with wiimote position tracking (ala inverted-lee way) using cwiid
  • acynonix did some nice hacks with the wiimote vibration, which we sadly had no time to integrate
  • others missed out the fun. Maby next time?

Skills required

  • Programming
  • Basic 3D understanding (or, willingness to read a lot of wikipedia articles)
  • Any kind of digital sketching/3d modeling/etc
  • Anything related to sound/music (sound plays a very important role in vr)
  • Creativity
  • (if you just wana see the demos, come on Sunday, or you might be bored)

Hardware

In hsgr

  • Leap Motion
  • Kinect
  • Projector
  • Assorted boards like arduino, rpi, bboard, pandaboard, TI430 etc
  • 3D printer
  • 3D mouse (we still have it, right?)
  • IR leds/Phototrans, lots of scrap material

via skmp

  • Oculus Rift Headset
  • Kinect (second one)
  • nVidia Shield
  • Assorted 3D capable android devboards
  • Portable Projector (320x240 sadly)
  • Wiimotes (2x - perfect for 3D space mapping via IR leds)
  • Wii Nunchunk (2x, 3DoF Gyro + 3DoF Accel, SPI interface)
  • Guitar w/ usb interface
  • Midi controller
  • Some gamepads

Others

  • Wii Balance board + wiimote + nunchuck (code.elusive)
  • Kinect + pico projector
  • Edit and add interesting stuff you can bring! Portable projectors, kinect or another Rift, would be very welcome indeed :)

Software

  • Oculus VR sdk (works with unity pro trial, direct opengl integration shouldn't be too hard)
  • vr.js for javascript lovers
  • Blender, etc 3d suites
  •  ?

Ideas for inspiration

  • Virtual worlds/games
  • 3D Music visualisation (Checkout VisiR, also stereo Milkdrop)
  • Space mapping via kinect/wiimote for positional head tracking
  • Portable VR w/ shield or portable light dev board
    • Perhaps with space tracking as well
  • VR Chair/Sphere/etc drafts for projects
  • Grill and/or pizza party
  • Beers
