Orbulus a simple Photo Sphere Viewer

Post by Unclebob »

Hi guys

slowly moving forward in the world of VR.

Have set up a small venture http://www.VRCraftworks.com.

The intention is to build small one of pieces that show off the possibilities of VR HMDs and organically will lead to some amazing un thought of applications.

Building a number of blocks to do this resulted in a simple but immersive Photo Sphere viewer.

There are 60 odd Photo Spheres to explore from the inside, in a hands free control environment.

Please check it out and let me know what you think.

Been asked a couple of times for examples of content as its a 300meg download.

So a few examples:

This is one of a number of spectacular Northern Lights Photo Spheres (with snow sounds)

And San Fran China Town

Or inside a fantastic artists studio

Image

There are around 60 unusual spheres to visit from the inside. The immersion factor is good. We have a 3d version working which we may release next week with a limited number of spheres or depending on Oculus will release with DK2 support first.

Its the control system we are interested in. Whether it works, whether the lack of controller helps with the immersion factor. Like, losing yourself in a good book.

Let us know what you think. Having demoed it people really seem to enjoy the experience we hope you do to.

Cheers
