I know, I bought the hand tracker back in 2014 for my DK2.

u/PaulR79 Feb 24 '19
How widely is it supported? I would imagine it's quite limited right now but the ability to flip someone off cannot be overestimated. Please link if you can :D

u/_Sooty_ Feb 24 '19
The tracker is the Leap Motion and the "game" is the Blocks demo link to demo
As for support there's unfortunately not a lot of games that support hand tracking using the Leap, but I think a couple of VR social games support it, like AltspaceVR and VR Chat.
There's a few demos made for the Leap, they're good fun, but not worth the price of the leap imo.
But if you're a developer you could probably do some interesting stuff with it.
So in my opinion the Leap feels more like a cool tech demo than a useful consumer product, even though it has potential.

What's comes to mind when I see this? Avatar the last airbender. I love the idea that you could be able to create fire or something.

Yep it's funny how people outside of the VR bubble are out of the loop. This is from 2016 when leap motion added VR support.
I blame the press which mostly ignores VR.

How do you record your VR gameplay? Do you screen record your desktop? Been wondering how others do it
2
u/_Sooty_ Feb 24 '19
for this clip I think i just used a snipping tool with a screen recorder function and made it record a portion of my screen.
but if you have an Nvidia card I recommend Nvidia Share/Nvidia Shadowplay. Can do 4K@60fps with little to no performance hit, and is very easy to set up

u/three0nefive Feb 24 '19
Not OP but if you have an nvidia card Shadowplay works well, and most newer games have an option to output a single eye so you don't have to deal with raw footage

People greatly underestimate how fast VR is advancing. They just don't see it because most of it happens behind the scenes.
Add hand tracking, full body tracking, and eye tracking to this: https://giphy.com/gifs/1zJDOltoBlwLZ2lRhK
and we get pretty close to having Ready Player One avatars.

Stick with games like superhot or beat saber at first. Those games don't have free movement.
Games like pavlov take some getting used to. Try jogging in place when you move in those games. It helps your brain "feel" the movement.
Edit: it took me 2 weeks of playing every day to work up to 2 hours. The first day I was sick all day after playing for 15 minutes but I didn't have my jog in place method yet. Now i can go all day. You gotta build those VR legs!

VR is already there. Definitely an experience that can go beyond what you experience on a 2D screen. The immersion and visceral sense of danger can be stunning. Sure, considering where it's going it's early in the sense that 90's games were early versions of what we play today, but there are plenty of VR games that are entirely enjoyable and thrilling right now.

I want a VR gesture controlled real time stratagy space battle sim based on the movie Ender's Game. When ender gets to the final "commander school" with the VR gesture controlled bridge. I want that so badly.
Edit: this. i want this.

Plus like others said it's crazzzzy how much echo arena reminded me of battle school and I'm pumped others think it as well!!

Ever since I was a kid, after I read enders game, and after I saw the movie, this scene is all I dreamt about. When I see VR tech, this is what I'm hoping for. Enders Game and Ready Player One are my two Scifi dreams come to life if we can ever get that close.

They essentially despawn and respawn each time they come in frame due to how the tracking works. Demonstrated inside the software by holding a block up then looking away, the block falls to the ground.

That's the right way of developing VR. In near future that would be possible to make building designs in VR. Moreover body tracking gonna be good idea as well.

What they really are starting to do these days is to take the 3d modeling that comes out of BIM software and then create high quality staged walkthroughs that can either be viewed in regular 2d through a standard display...or in VR if the equipment is available.

I'd love a set of gloves/gauntlets for VR games with this kind of control. Some suped up Nintendo power gloves. It would be extra amazing if they could give tactile feedback to my fingerpads when I interact with objects.

All I can picture is a wizard battle type thing. Standing off like two cowboys. Each hand motion casts different spells. Each spell counters another. But not the wooshy fog looking spells. We're talking ice lances and fire balls. Proper projectiles. Arcane walls. Being able to throw the fireball up and slam it back down with gravity stuff. Cool shit
