Started the day reading about the Virtual Boy. I am very curious. And I cannot help but think of how cool it would have been at the time. Read this article which took me to a video review by the Angry Game Nerd. It took me to Game Over.
Found this Sea Hero Quest VR, a game that helps detect the first signs of dementia. VR companies are slashing prices of high-end headsets like the Vive and Rift. Meanwhile, Google is giving away free Daydream headsets with back-to-school offers on the Pixel. Reminds me of my school days when we used to get pencil boxes with school bags or the classic, socks with shoes. I got to reading about Mindfulness Tech: Meditation VR which I had also seen in my Rift text a few days back. Research house IDC has made a claim that the worldwide revenues for the AR/VR market will increase by 100% in the next 4 years. This is the detailed report.
Saw this gob-smacking video from the WWDC earlier this year about Unreal Engine, Star Wars, and the Imac: 3 things that I love.
Spent around thirty minutes with the Gear VR headset. Tried out GrooVR, Music Driven VR. The experience was incredible, even though the rendering wasn’t very good. The reflections gave a satisfaction. VR-ready Everydays is still pending, and this just might have been that push.
Found this article pitting ARCore and ARKit against each other. It gives a pretty clear idea of how similar they are and why Google chose to launch ARCore just before the September 12 iPhone 8 Event, which is also confirmed by the way.
Read more about the VR Headset by Huawei, and how similar it is to the Gear VR.
Spent some time downloading some ACM papers to read, and went through some of them.
Watched a video about Jack Ma.
