Custom Board Assets

As some of you might be aware, Hotwheels has recently made it possible to change the spoiler image and other assets.

If you want to make these new custom assets you can post them in this thread. I'll use the first one that looks 'good' enough, but don't worry, if someone uploads something better I'll change it to that.

Here's what you need to know before making the new assets:

All files must be below 500KB

"Spoiler" images need to be 128 x 128

"File deleted" images need to be 140 x 50

"No file" images need to be 500 x 500

The thread will be around for a long while, so no rush and take your time.

Developing virtual reality

How much of a change will HUDs and user interfaces go through in VR?

I wonder if it'll be the end of menu hierarchies and all sorts of status bars, and instead go for a minimal amount of "onscreen" information and contextual not just head motions but using head movement to guess what the player is looking at, where he pauses his attentions and whatnot, sort of like a swipe keyboard.

GoogleCardboardVR and Smartphones

So I recently bought one of those google cardboard based plastic HMD with straps and everything. The fov is alright, it doesn't spherical lenses so I can use Tridef3D and streama 3d side by side image using Moonlight gamestreaming on android. I got a 2way970GTX SLI in my PC and I am able to stream games at 1080P 60fps to my phone.

So far it's been an awesome experience to test VR in it's developing stages. I tried Bioshock on it, it seems to be the best one to try. The big problem that I had was the aspect ratio, it seems to be 5:4 and not many games support it, so I end up using 4:3 which stretches it a bit.

The worst part was setting up headtracking using my phone, I found an app that transmits the gyro data to pc via wifi using FaceTrackNoIR. It's not perfect but it does the job emulating the mouse.

I had a great time playing around with it, my phone is a Sony Xperia z2 which has a 1080p screen so the games looked pretty clean.

I wish they made one that puts two phones side by side to get a greater FOV.

Anyway here is a link to the HMD I got.

VR News

http://venturebeat.com/2014/10/07/consumer-oculus-rift-is-more-than-a-few-months-out-while-designers-makes-it-more-comfy/

>Creating a comfortable product is one of the issues that holds back a consumer version of the Rift headset from Oculus VR, according to the company’s chief executive officer Brendan Iribe. In an interview with financial news cable network Bloomberg, Iribe explained that company is close to releasing its first product for consumers, but his team is really focused on making sure that the experience is pleasant for those who use it.

>“To get [comfort] right is really a big challenge,” said Iribe. “We’re just at the point now where we’re confident that we’re there, and it’ll be not too far [from now].”

> acknowledged again that consumer Rift will have a lot in common with Crescent Bay. But he reiterated that the designers still feel like they have a lot of work ahead of them.

>“Well, [the wait is] less than multiple years,” said Iribe. “We can’t say where we are on it, but more than a few months and less than a few years, but it’s pretty soon. We do want to get it right.”

They just keep adding and refining features nonstop, really want to make it perfect don't they? We are either going to see the CV1 at the end of 2015 or in 2016 at this rate.

So am I the only one thinking that Oculus 4K + Omni Virtuix + Control VR is possibly the best combination that could be used for virtual reality?

I mean you'd have eye tracking, decent vision, walking around with jumping, sensors on your arms for accurately motion tracking them (rather than all these stupid attempts at using depth or video feeds or wagglan motion controls in your hands), and the omni virtuix harness and frame can even support your body when you sit back, so it could be used in racing games too.

Is the Occulus Dev Kit 2 worth getting? Or is there something different that works better? I'm not interested in smartphone shit. Mostly I want to check out the VR PC games (and the porn). I'm a game developer too so I'd like to fuck around with VR development.

Any thoughts on how to mitigate proprioceptive negative feedback?

You know, the thing that basically gives you car sickness while in VR despite sitting still? Because part of your mind ends up thinking you're moving, and so tells you stomach to compensate for that motion - which ends up making you nauseous…

How do you think this can be avoided? Because this has to be fixed for VR to become more mainstream.

Playing normal vidya on a virtual screen

I'm sick of waiting for modern flatscreen tech to catch up to where CRTs were two decades ago in terms of color, latency, blur, etc. I was hoping that when the Rift came out I could just play vidya on a virtual 60" screen inside of it and enjoy ultra low latency and whatnot.

I can't actually find discussion or video of anyone doing this, though, other than the 80s retro arcade which isn't quite what I have in mind. Is it not as simple as something like pic related, but with Witcher 3 instead of a movie?
