chaos Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Just saw the Windows 10- keynote and... wow... blown away by MS HoloLens. AR device that seems to be quite far ahead in development. These are truly interesting times in the tech world... dare I say... 'magical'. Eye-tracking, no wires... Would love to know if this (AR-) tech can be beneficial to DCS World.

cichlidfan Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 From some of the implementations that I have seen, AR may lend itself to pit builders more than the rest of us. Time will tell.

remon Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I was expecting a bigger thread. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/01/22/minecraft-hololens-minecraft-reality/ "Unlike VR headsets like the Oculus Rift, the HoloLens only takes up a small part of your field of vision—depending on where you turn your head to look—as well as voice and gesture commands. Although the office around me and the two Microsoft employees next to me are clearly visible in my peripheral vision, so is the holographic world projected in front of it." "When I walk towards a nearby desk with a computer, I notice that that Martian landscape disappears beneath it, rather than projecting over it; users can designate areas where they don’t want holograms to appear, which is especially useful if you want to interact with the holograms using a computer." Yes, this and CastAR seem more appropriate for simulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHawthorne Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 AR and VR are not the same market space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
