At current I’m just using vive controllers for tracking props. I know this isn’t an ideal solution but is fine for experimenting purposes till a more ideal solution is found.
The concept idea for room one was made back in February but the video was put together in July for the perception neuron contest and since showing the video and letting people try the room It was brought to my attention that a company called the void are doing a similar experience but on a grand scale with a big budget.
I knew when playing with this idea that someone somewhere must also be experimenting and merging a solid reality environment with a matching virtual reality environment because it makes perfect sense too mix the two realities together. I did try Googling to see if this was already being experimented with but failing to find anything in my searching. I was surprised to see that someone is already miles ahead of the game but I don’t see the void as competition as their experience is a doom type experience. Room one Would be just a single room like in the video but a slightly bigger area to move around in and would be located in Manchester England. It’s just a safe environment for vistor to experience VR in a new way with 5 to 10 short experiences to select from. Void looks like something more suited to a theme park. I cannot compete with them lol I’m aware of this and wouldn’t want to try too.
