Otoy reveals free rendering software for super-fast virtual reality and ‘holographic cinema’
Otoy has released its OctaneVR virtual reality rendering software for virtual reality, augmented reality, and holographic cinema. And it’s available for free for commercial use.
Otoy is all about providing cloud-based production tools so that artists, movie makers, and game creators can create awesome computer-generated images, films, or games.
The goal of OctaneVR is to create art at the same fidelity demanded by consumer VR and AR devices coming to market this year. OctaneVR will be released on Windows, OSX and Linux for free for an unspecified period of time. It supports apps that show scenes in full virtual reality, where you can turn around 360 degrees and see a virtual world.
Otoy’s new tools include the Orbx Media Player, which will work with the Samsung Galaxy Gear VR mobile headset, with support for Microsoft HoloLens and HTML5 WebVR coming in the fourth quarter of 2015.
