Our new 3D VR Camera

You can certainly source a 2D VR camera and you can find 3D cameras but we are really pleased to announce that we have developed an amazing 3D VR camera. Our custom built rig uses GoPro sessions to capture left and right eye angles, which when combined can be used to create a 3D, 360 video which has a much greater sense of depth and perspective than traditional 2D 360.

Total Mind Control

Epson BT200 Tests

The BT 200’s are good but we’ve heard some inside information about the next range and they will be awesome. To give some background, the BT100’s were really only for projection of a screen to both eyes. We had to strap a camera onto the top of them and hack the unit to push a feed to the already bulky headset.

Finger Tip Control

This is a bit of an old one but we use Leap sensors to allow us to do fingertip control of 3D objects, gesture control and screen animations.

7D Virtual Reality

So… everyone knows we are an AR studio but we also love immersing ourselves in a little Virtual Reality every now and then. The problem is that vanilla VR isn’t enough for us – we want experiences that you can see, feel and hear like real life – in 7D as it were.

Motion Capture Experiments

Well here is quick example of how we capture a persons movement, create a 3D model and textures and then make it all come to life – in less than 30 seconds (the video, not the work involved!)

Developers Gone 3D

Our developers were given the opportunity to try out the New Durovis Dive hands-free VR headset. To say the least they were more than impressed. Have a look at some more of the Durovis-talk online and make your own leap
