HTc Vive - recka z ED

[Yata_PL]

wyszperałem w sieci iz wczoraj odbyło sie "SteamDev Conference" na której ujawniono prace nad ciekawymi projektami dla Vr

- asynchroniczna reprojekcja ( taka niedawno dostali w Oculusie) , bedzie mniej smuzenia i latanie plynnosci klatka po klatce
- steam Vr bedzie obslugiwal tech. Vulcan dla win i linux
- nowy kontroler i nowe latarnie
orginalny text wklejam ponizej:

OK, we didn't really do that. What we did do is follow along with the dozens of developers who are livetweeting all the news from the opening keynote on the #SteamDevDays hashtag (and through very shaky Periscope streams). This kind of second-hand reporting means sifting through some obvious trolling from less than reputable sources, but when we see the same information tweeted from multiple attendees at the same time, we can be pretty confident it actually came from the show itself.

Valve seems to be focusing heavily on virtual reality at this year's show, and that includes revealing a new prototype controller compatible with SteamVR. The biggest change in the new prototype seems to be the ability to open your hands completely without dropping the controller, making the prototype somewhat akin to Oculus' own Touch controllers. Attendees also say the prototype does away with the annoying "grip buttons" on the side of the current HTC Vive controllers and simply recognizes when your palms and fingers grasp the side of the controller instead. It's not clear from early tweeted pictures (above) just how that prototype attaches to your hand when it's open, but we look forward to hearing more.

Other tidbits that attendees are tweeting about from the VR-focused Steam Dev Days keynote today:

Valve is working on adding OSX and Linux support for SteamVR. The SteamOS support will apparently rely on the Vulkan standard for high-end, open source graphics. We hope that means that SteamOS graphical performance will start to approach Windows a little more in the near future. Here's an apparent photo of the SteamVR interface in Linux, for what it's worth.
Valve is working on "asynchronous reprojection" for the SteamVR platform. Based on the name, that's almost certainly similar to Oculus' recently announced "asynchronous spacewarp" technology, which fills in the gaps necessary to get a 45 frame per second game running acceptably at a VR-ready 90 frames per second (and the "asynchronous timewarp" technology that preceded it). Sony's PlayStation VR also has a similar reprojection system to help fill in frame rate gaps.
Valve is also working on a new generation of Lighthouse tracking boxes for 2017. No details yet on how those trackers will be different from the current boxes, but we can think of a few improvements we'd like to see (like a wider tracking area, battery-powered portability, and auto-adjustment when the tracker is moved.
Valve is heavily stressing the openness of the SteamVR platform, letting over 300 partners license the Lighthouse positional tracking technology for use in their own peripherals. The company reportedly wants to make the standard "as ubiquitous as Wi-Fi." Steam is also making an OpenVR SDK/API that will work with Steam as well as other platforms.
Valve claims 1,000 new VR users are logging on to Steam every day. For those who can't do math, that translates to about 365,000 sales of the HTC Vive headset in a year (though Oculus Rift users playing games through Steam could throw off that calculation). For reference, we previously used Steam Gauge data to estimate that anywhere from 45,000 to 60,000 people had bought the HTC Vive in its first month of availability, which gels well with Valve's newly reported numbers.
Valve is working on new VR software that will be ready for a reveal next year. As UploadVR reports, Valve Product Designer Greg Coomer said that people would not be "disappointed" by the announcement. I think we all know what that means. That's right: Ricochet 3 VR confirmed!
