Real-Time Virtual Reality (VR) – The Ultimate Experience
So what do we need to make this all happen?
- Humanoid robot that can walk
- Method to control said robot
- Wetsuit could allow full body haptic feedback
- VR camera attached to robot that can record in real-time
- Data feed that is fast enough to capture the data and relay in in real-time
Founded in 1999, Seattle based company Streambox has taken in an undisclosed amount of funding to develop “unique IP based video streaming solutions over low bandwidth connections“. Now they have added a VR offering to that which is currently in beta and support Oculus Rift. It’s not like this is something that ground breaking since 360 degree video support was released last year by YouTube allowing users to view and upload 360-degree videos.
Voysys produces a multi-camera live VR/360° production software solution called VOYSYS VR PRODUCER which supports any sort of VR hardware you might have on hand.
This software solution is built for real-time, with typical latency of 50-200 ms measured from light entering a lens to light exiting a VR headset or display. We were quite surprised to see just how quickly these hardware packages start to add up:
In addition to their VR software platform, Voysys also markets industrial solutions under the OdenVR brand.
