Awesome. After playing with Google's go pro light field images, it's really hard to go back and enjoy regular 360 photos. The quality and 6dof sense of presence. was amazing. Hopefully the addition of lytros tech makes it even better.
- modeless 9y agoThese are the mentioned light field images: https://www.blog.google/products/google-vr/experimenting-light-fields/ https://www.blog.google/products/google-vr/experimenting-lig... They can only be experienced properly with a positionally tracked VR headset, but they are extremely cool if you have one.
- owenversteeg 9y agoHTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets... and it seems like Windows Mixed Reality headsets are available for around $200 on Amazon. Wow, we live in the future. I guess the main cost here is the PC attached to them... probably costs about $500 minimum if I'd have to guess for something with the specs required. [edit] wow, you can get an Asus pre-built desktop for $440, damn! i5-7400, 12gb DDR4, 2TB HDD, graphics good enough for VR... wow. Anyone know if it's possible to build your own for a competitive price, or if that'd drive up the cost? I remember the days when it was cheaper to build your own...
- cmac2992 9y agoWhat GPU is in that prebuilt? I think you'd probably want a 1070 especially for windows MR headsets. Right now with gpu and memory prices inflated due to cryto mining, prebuilts are very competitively priced. If you want to build your own, definitely go with a motherboard gpu bundle otherwise you'll be paying $$$ for a gpu.
