Global Illumination, Path Tracing, Photon Mapping and Ray Tracing all belong to a category of algorithms that are better suited for multi-core general processors -- not the SIMD hardware of today's GPUs.

It's a PC peripheral, and always has been. Sony (PS4) has their own VR tech. The Xbox controller ensures all Rift users have the same hardware, which is especially important with VR experiences.

It took some experimenting to learn the sorts of things that cause users to feel dizzy/weird. We've come a long way since then. The $600 price point is not targeting average consumers -- this is a PC enthusiast product. Expect the

A lot of the design tools are nice, but what about persisting the tweaks we make on the page? What if we're using a build process (i.e. Sass, ES6 transpilers, etc)? I've tried using Workspaces in the past, and it was just not a

Yeah I came here to ask how you did the faux-3d cat. It's very subtle, but effective as hell. I thought you were using some kind of fancy parallax shader, but I can see how a displacement map can approximate the same thing. Awesome!

1. Look at existing designs for inspiration. 2. Draft a prototype with a tool that's easy to hack with. 3. Try out your design with strangers; take notes where they get confused. 4. Change the design to address issues from #3. 5. GOTO
