A new post with a VR 360 video from my experiments with recording ocean waves in Unity.
I have been undertaking some experiments using the game engine Unity to create environments to film in 360 VR. My VR application has now been submitted to Meta Store and is going through that process, so between polishing and making changes to that, I have been tinkering with Unity.
I like that with a game engine I have the potential to create and film scenes that I wouldn’t get chance to…
Virtual Reality (VR) gaming is a type of interactive entertainment that combines computer-generated environments with immersive hardware and software to create a simulated three-dimensional (3D) environment in which players can interact with the virtual world. In VR gaming, players typically wear a VR headset, which covers their eyes and often includes built-in motion tracking sensors. These headsets are designed to provide a sense of presence, making the player feel like they are inside the virtual world.
The VR headset is the primary interface between the player and the virtual world. It typically consists of a high-resolution display for each eye, motion sensors to track head movements, and sometimes hand controllers for additional interaction.
VR systems often use external sensors or cameras to track the position and movement of the player's head and, in some cases, their hands and body. This tracking allows the virtual environment to respond to the player's movements in real time.
VR games often incorporate 3D spatial audio to enhance immersion by providing realistic sound cues that change direction and intensity as the player moves within the virtual space.
Some VR systems come with hand controllers or gloves that allow players to interact with objects in the virtual world. These controllers can provide haptic feedback, adding a sense of touch to the experience.
To run VR games effectively, a powerful computer or gaming console is usually required, as VR applications demand significant processing power and graphics capabilities.
VR gaming offers a wide range of experiences, from realistic simulations to fantastical worlds. Players can explore virtual environments, solve puzzles, engage in combat, or participate in various other activities, all while feeling like they are physically present within the game world. VR gaming has gained popularity for its ability to provide a heightened sense of immersion and a more interactive and visceral gaming experience compared to traditional gaming on a flat screen.

spooky reminder that i made a VR map of the Magnus Institute you can go explore on vrchat. Its interactable. Its unhinged. its buggy. its full off references. dont take it too seriously.
8K, VR 180 Video: Farr Beach, Scotland (With Ambisonics)
A VR 180 video from the highlands of Scotland. Filmed using ambisonic audio for greater immersion.
As part of my Scottish odyssey in 2022, I aimed to record 8K VR 180 videos in relaxing locations. Unfortunately this was immediately after buying a new camera, and I had some technological teething problems getting set up to record in 8K. The CFExpress card needed to record at this quality came within the last couple of days before I drove home, and there were only a couple of locations I managed…
Gordon is the kind of person to be gripping the bathroom sink looking at himself in the mirror sobbing and repeating to himself "I'm normal I am normal please GOD I am NORMAL"
i literally routinely quote this fucking clip of him at work
