I am looking to meet other people that are serious about games development and virtual/augment reality. Hopefully exchange some ideas and learn from each other. The areas that interest me the most are programming, engine design, and mathematics. But I am also interested in UI design and how information can be consumed by the user. I also have very basic modeling and texturing skills, this is an area i hope to improve on in the future so any tips or tutorials you can recommend would be greatly appreciated.
I see great things for the future of the unreal engine and also the way people use and interact with the digital world changing quite a bit over the next decade. With virtual/augmented reality devices becoming cheaper, and new ways other than a keyboard and mouse to control computers the digital divide is getting smaller every day. I would like to contribute to this effort with games development by creating new and interesting worlds, where the player doesn’t just run past the world to achieve his goal, but where he experiences and changes the world as he moves through it. Where the echos of his presence are felt by the person following behind him.
But stopping there would be foolish, I imagine the physical world being enhanced with the digital world. Imagine with me for a second the Hololens/Oculus bringing a game HUD up but in the real world. A firefighter enhanced with an array of measurement devices hooked up to his helmet visor giving him important real time information about the room temperature, oxygen/co2 levels or the density of a wall allowing him to make more informed decisions about how to approach breaking through a burning building to save lives. Or being able to drive/walk down the street and with a simple glance being able to see the opening times or stock availability of a store.
