The document discusses the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. It provides details on the technology used in the Rift such as its resolution, refresh rate, and head tracking capabilities. The document outlines the hardware components of the Rift including the headset, sensors, controllers. It also discusses the software features like Oculus Home and the development kit. Finally, it summarizes that the Rift enhances gameplay by allowing users to experience games in 3D and shares a quote from Mark Zuckerberg about his experience using the Rift.
The Rift is a virtual reality head-mounted display developed by Oculus VR. It was initially proposed in a Kick starter campaign, during which Oculus VR.
The simulation aspect of the Oculus Rift can be put to use as a tool for training. It's one of the more obvious non-gaming applications for the device, mostly because non-VR simulations already exist in many fields, but the quality of simulation is what's important here.
These slides use ideas from my class to develop a business model for Oculus Rift’s headset. This headset creates the perception among users that they are in a different reality as they play video games. It has much higher resolution and faster response time than do previous headsets. Although Oculus hopes to develop its own console, these slides recommend that Oculus partner with a console maker such as Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo in order to reduce development cost and gain access to existing users and game software. Hopefully it can receive a portion of hardware and game software revenues as its headset enables console makers to increase their market share and charge more for game software.

"Improving the VR experience, from the authors to the users"
Creating an immersive virtual reality application is a big challenge: choosing (or creating) the right hardware, choosing (or creating) the right software, and finally crafting the user experience. The hardware is increasingly powerful and accessible, but we don't know how to make the best of it. This is in part because designing a VR experience is a complex software task, and is also due to our limited understanding of the main component of the system: the user.
In this talk we will focus the current trends in system design, on the goals and design of MiddleVR, a generic VR plugin aimed at simplifying the creation of VR applications and we will discuss how our understanding of human perception can be used to improve the VR experience.

The media landscape changes significantly over the last few years by new content formats, new service offerings, additional consumption devices and new monetization models. Think of Netflix, DAZN, Mediatheks, mobile devices, interactive content, smart TVs, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and so on. Many of these efforts have been realized by a limited usage of standards, but are standards irrelevant? Secondly, more and more services are enabled by latest mobile compute platforms enabling new services and experiences. This presentation will provide an overview some of these trends and will motivate the development of global interop standards. Specific aspects will include the move of linear TV services to the Internet (both mobile and fixed) as well recent advances on Extended Reality and immersive media trends.
Virtual Reality: Learn to Maximize Present and Future Creative Possibilities!Stephan Tanguay
2014 is the year that virtual reality will go from a bad memory from the 90s to the beginning of a new way to experience content. Already the Oculus Rift has started to transform several industries with its ability to transport you to a completely interactive virtual space. As a designer and/or developer, this transformation will change the way you look at your work.
The first time you build something on the screen and then project yourself into your own creation, you quickly feel a sense of wonder and excitement from experiencing content in a way you never expected. You will also realize that many things that work well with a typical mouse, keyboard and computer screen work considerably different in the virtual world. Sharing these experiences with Stephan will help you to understand how to leverage what works in virtual reality, future possibilities and what to avoid so your virtual experiences will be effective at immersing users in your virtual creations.
Virtual Reality refers to a high-end user interface that involves real-time simulation and interactions through multiple sensorial channels. Virtual Reality is often used to describe a wide variety of applications, commonly associated with its immersive, highly visual, 3D environments. The development of CAD software, graphics hardware acceleration, head mounted displays, database gloves and miniaturization have helped popularize the concept. Jaron Lanier coined the term Virtual Reality in 1987. Today Virtual Reality plays a big part in the everyday lives of the world’s population.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

15. Mark Zuckerberg’s post…
14 October 2015
The craziest Oculus experience I've had recently is playing ping pong in
virtual reality. You feel like you're right there with your friend even
though they may be halfway around the world. And not only can you
hit the ball back and forth, but you can turn gravity up and down to
simulate completely different worlds -- outer space, under water and
so on.
In our new Toybox experience, you can pick up objects, build things and
play games. This video shows a few examples of what's possible.
What's really amazing is sharing these experiences with your friends.
We're getting closer.
Rift is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. Whether you’re stepping into your favorite game, watching an immersive VR movie, jumping to a destination on the other side of the world, or just spending time with friends in VR, you’ll feel like you’re really there.
Rift uses state of the art displays and optics designed specifically for VR. Its high refresh rate and low-persistence display work together with its custom optics system to provide incredible visual fidelity and an immersive, wide field of view.
Rift’s advanced display technology combined with its precise, low-latency constellation tracking system enables the sensation of presence – the feeling as though you’re actually there. The magic of presence changes everything. You’ve never experienced immersion like this.
From the moment you pick up Rift, you’ll feel and see the attention to detail that went into its design and construction. Customizable, comfortable, adaptable, and beautiful, Rift is technology and design as remarkable as the experiences it enables.
