At present, HTC Vive consumer version, Samsung GEAR VR, Oculus Rift are already on sale. I tried HTC VIVE and it was great. VR technology is very mature. The effect is many times better than that depicted in the movie.
It is said that 2016 is the first year of VR. In fact, this is the third "first year" in the history of VR.
The first "VR first year" we call "VR 1.0" for the time being, belongs to the exploration stage of VR technology that began in the 1970s. In 1957, a photographer named Morton Heilig invented a projector called Sensorama Simulator. This machine was "windy, smelly, and vibrating." This kind of experience design looks very advanced today.
The second "VR first year"
30 years ago, in Palo Alto, Bay Area, Jaron Lanier and his good friends founded VPL. Today, many people refer to Lanier as the "father of VR." The success of VPL is that it cut the price of the military's VR equipment from millions of dollars to one-tenth of its original value-that is, hundreds of thousands of dollars. What makes the VR boom even more explosive is a glove from VPL. This glove tracks people's movements. In this way, you can manipulate things on the display with your hands, which greatly enhances the human-computer interaction experience.
Today, the arrival of the third "VR first year"
after Facebook's acquisition of Oculus ignited a climax in the technology and investment circles. Everyone imagined that "The Matrix" was about to become a reality.
Let’s go back and talk about the special effects of this film. Today it seems to be 50 cents. The CG animation in 1991 was not good enough. Even the students who studied computer animation actually did better than it.
But the plot is still good, the key starring is Pierce 007, too handsome. Friends who like virtual reality can take a look (I just like VR very much and I searched for this movie about virtual reality)
