Capn kamikaze Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 This is a bit of request and a question.... VR is starting to get there, I'll not be investing in anything in this generation of headsets, I'll probably go for the next version of the Oculus or Vive, the resolution is simply not there yet, it really needs to be at least twice the res it is now to be usable IMO. What I am hoping for is that the hand/gesture controls become more ergonomic, where they'll one day essentially be a pair of gloves, so you can still use your flight controllers. What I am thinking, and hoping that DCS do, is that they will add pilot models to the cockpits of all aircraft, so that you can literally reach out and press the button, and if we have things like the TM MFD, that you could arrange them so that you get some tactile feedback, you reach for the control in the VR space, and find that it lines up with the real one sitting on your desk, obviously you'd need to spend some time putting it in place. The actual controls would be via the MFD, not the clickable pit, as getting them aligned that well may be an issue, but as long as you're close enough you'll find the buttons. It would be nice to see your hand reach out to say the left MFD, PB7 for example, and that is roughly where your real hand is.
npole Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Both the tech are here already (almost)... we will have some hand gesture and recognizing device "soon", from a big hardware player (it will be shown at the next E3), making the virtual cockpit clickable, much more easier. You can also have an hybrid tech (similar to the augmented reality, or the inverse of it): the VIVE has a webcam in front of it, it can be used to project the reality in the VR environment. The possibility are endless...
