all first fundamental pieces are now ready for the ecosystem of virtual reality, “new platform technological “. as she was called yesterday Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
In the electronics fair arrived in fact highly anticipated ads of viewers as the HTC Vive, announced at $ 799, and LG 360 Vr, but also of video cameras to produce content for virtual reality, LG and Samsung (which at the end of 2015 has also launched the new version of the viewer, to 129 EUR). Also coming the Oculus Rift (699 euro), a company controlled by Facebook and collaborating with Samsung to these products.
Last piece, Google, which is about to launch a second version of its viewer: no more than cardboard but of plastic, but still should be much cheaper than the rivals. The announcement fatter today is to HTC, whose kit is the most expensive because richer. Not just a viewer, which is connected to a computer as you can- the Oculus; but also two special controllers that take the place of our hands during the experience in virtual reality and sensors that mark the environment. The Htc vice fact is to date the only virtual reality that allows us to walk. The sensors warn us when we are leaving the environment and prevent us from banging on physical objects.
The app of HTC Vive. It ‘also included Lives Phone Services, to receive and respond to incoming calls, view messages, send a quick response and control the agenda directly through the helmet. There are 40 “experiences” now available at launch and two are included in the sale kit. Job Simulator: The 2050 Archives of Owlchemy Labs: a nice futuristic world where robots have now taken the place of human beings in every production, with ‘Job Simulator’ you can experience the old meaning of the word “work.” Fantastic Contraption, Northway Games: in this VR experience you can imagine walking on a green island floating in the sky, build a great car as a horse with his own hands and then see it move in space.
the Htc strategy. HTC is working with developers to create content that will range in various sectors, from entertainment to sales, education, design, healthcare and automotive .
“from the beginning Htv, a pioneer company of many revolutionary technologies, has been at the forefront in the development of virtual reality with lives,” said Cher Wang, Chairwoman and CEO of HTC. “Since the announcement of lives last year, we have worked tirelessly with Valve to offer the best VR experience in the market, we have won several awards and received praise from the media, by consumers and industry. With the consumer edition of Lives we can finally realize our desire; bring in homes to let people experience the dive brought to a virtual reality that fires the imagination and radically change the way you see the world. “
The dates and launches . The Htc kit, produced by Valve, arrives April 1. Since March, the Oculus viewer, with the included controller.
Already available to Samsung that works in conjunction with the Galaxy S6, S7 and Note4, which are inserted inside the viewer. It should be connected to cable LG G5, however, the LG Vr viewer, at a price and still not communicated availability.
The cable is an inconvenience on the one hand but on the other reduces the weight they have to carry on the head. In our test, the new Samsung display has improved ergonomics, but it makes its weight felt, reducing some ‘illusion.
Not only content, viewers and controllers . The ecosystem of virtual reality is completed with products that allow everyone (or almost) to create videos for virtual reality. And ‘the case of LG and Samsung cameras, at a price still unknown (rumors say that it will be starting from 399 euro). The dawn of user generated content virtual? Who knows: maybe it’s still early, but the producers (and Zuckerberg) we believe that it can be the beginning of an all-round platform for our digital experiences.
