Facebook buys Oculus VR !!!!!!!
Game of goggles
Facebook had splashed out some $2 billion on Oculus
VR, a company that makes headsets that let gamers
immerse themselves in fantasy worlds (pictured)
.
Coming up:
Facebook's Oculus vs.
Google Glass: The Coming
War Over Our Eyeballs
3. Google’s vision of the future involves :
overlaying the real world seen through its specs with
information from its search engine and other services.
Facebook’s vision of future:
is of people totally immersing themselves in virtual worlds
where they will be able do everything from taking virtual
classes together to communicating with distant friends as if
they were standing in the same room.
Sony recently unveiled Project
Morpheus !!!!!!!
A prototype of a virtual-reality headset that is
designed to work with its PlayStation 4 gaming
console
4. Future in COMPUTER GRAPHICS:
Desk lamp turns table top into 3D
Idea is:
Multi-touch table-top displays project content
through glass and respond to touch – imagine a
table-sized smartphone screen.
The "lamp" is fitted with infrared cameras and can
use the hidden markers to compute its position in
three dimensions. It then uses this information to
control the projection of high-res images onto the
correct place on the table-top.
This could be useful for the military, when
examining a map of unfamiliar territory and
discussing strategy
5. Future on display: Technology you'll
want to stroke
Idea is:
The surface of the Fusa2 display is covered with fur
made of optical fibres. When a user stands in front
of the display, they begin to touch its surface
without any suggestions and instructions
When you stroke the display, it changes colour,
creating "stroke marks". "In order to detect the
touched area, the fibre-optics surface has many
infrared LEDs,
It could work well with digital signage or for robotic
pets. If we create a bigger one, we could even
construct a soccer stadium with turf made of a
Fusa2 display. This could show lots of information,
like the offside line, players' positions and score.
6. Future on display: 3D touchscreens
made for two
Idea is:
Don polarised glasses that allowed users to
interact with a 3D cityscape projected onto the
table.
The polarised glasses contain an active
shutter system that is synchronised to the table-top
display as it rapidly alternates between the images
to match each user's perspective. The glasses
transmit images that match their perspective, but
block images that match the other user's
perspective.
Importantly, users can also interact with the display
when they touch it, to zoom in or rotate the
buildings, for example, without breaking the 3D
illusion.
