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. Yay for unity, udpsockes & 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
