VR 2015 Oculus Rift when released

Current VR devices fall into two categories, one is a phone box and the other is a VR helmet like the Oculus Rift. First Gear VR now can be bought, but there is no doubt that we are looking forward to the Oculus.

2014 Oculus VR has experienced rapid growth, the company grew by more than 1 time, three new product iterations, even held its own Developer Conference. 2014 for Oculus was a year of progress and improvement, to 2015, we look forward to since the preparatory efforts and progress will eventually allow consumers to reap the rewards.

Consumer version of Oculus Rift in 2015, the possibility of low, CEO Brendan Iribe said recently in "several months" after release. And abroad before VR media VRFocus had heard about the Beta version of the product may be released in April.

But the real launch date remains uncertain, Oculus officials say the final product still needs more adjustment and development. But January 6 opening of the CES in Las Vegas on the 2015 release is unlikely, despite last year's CES, it released Crystal Cove prototype. Perhaps March's game developers Conference is more likely.

Of course, the Oculus cannot post the hardware, need to be listed with the content, now this part is almost ready. Games have been supported by many, only to release running on the consumer version of the product. If soft problem, Oculus fans could soon play VR games.

Sounds very exciting, but there are still some uncertainties, such as the current VR input solutions have no clear message. Oculus also need to make some improvements in the design of the final product. First generation of consumer products is a great test for Oculus, future iterations there is plenty of space.

Oculus Rift in virtual reality

DK1, Oculus DK2 resolutions increased from 640x800 to 960x1080 (up 1920x1080). First generation of products in order to reduce the feeling of dizziness, DK2 OLED using low latency. One of the biggest improvement, believe the DK2 will join a group of detect head movements of the camera, so that players can implement such features as "close" movement, officials said just for this function's optimization team spent a lot of time. In addition, the DK2 gyroscopes, accelerometers and other sensors of the testing frequency will all upgrade to 1000HZ, but the weight will go up to 440 grams. Price was close to the people (although the DK2 still for developers)

To make virtual reality more real on these parts of the body with

This argument is no longer fresh: If virtual reality to provide a complete immersion experience, coupled with game controller that is not a good choice. We need is a solution, but luckily, some companies try to use his eyes, head and fingers to manipulate virtual world.

When the much-anticipated Oculus Rift and HTC Vive after the release of the first half of this year, there should be many VR content to appear, but the more urgent question is, how to control and interact with virtual objects in it? This problem existed decades ago and earlier VR equipment to explore the content.

Oculus and HTC has its own programmes. Former VR helmet equipped with a wireless Xbox One handle, but will be released again this year to provide a more immersing experience, and you can track motion controller Oculus Touch. HTC Vive Rod equipped with a rival form of controller. But these are not perfect, they do not conform to the way we use the body, such as when you explore a dark cave, click on the button would be very awkward, and controllers take long or be acid.

Eyefluence companies think they can solve this problem, it developed the eye-tracking technology, means you can do anything in the world of virtual reality, such as hitting the hidden animals, application menus and navigation. David Stiehr believe that what users have been watching, controlling the eyes, so why not use it? Dolce Gabbana Cases

Eyefluence technology is from 2013 acquired Eye-Com, a company that later developed a flexible circuit, it is equipped with cameras, lighting sources and other small hardware. In the circuit can be used in a small metal chassis, can be embedded in the future virtual reality devices, not just time.

According to the MIT Technology review the author's experience, Eyefluence technologies get started soon, after simple training can be on the main screen, select a different application, and pan and zoom operations. Allegedly experiences naturally, just like the usual eyes. Dolce & Gabbana iPhone 6 plus Cases

Gest

Gest another company using the other parts of the body: fingers. It developed a device with a motion sensor, can be set in hand, has four rings can be worn on the fingers. Gest's products in addition to virtual reality, can also be used in other products.

Company CEO Mike Pfister believes that its products in addition to playing games, can also help. For example, designers can use the Gest dealing with computer-generated models, or fingers to simulate keyboard input.

Gest and Eyefluence products to be accepted by more people would still take some time, but virtual reality has indeed been able to operate without handles. Rift and Vive uses the basic head tracking technology, using sensors to know head position, and converts it to the corresponding action. This technique can also be used in cheaper Samsung Gear VR, virtual reality devices.

Virtual reality games and Metta will use head-tracking technology service company. Video as it lies in the users eye, only need to move to browse, remain stable over a period of time will be able to choose. The only regret is that returns to the click of a button.

Although experience is not perfect, the purpose of all of these companies are the same, reducing interference make users aware of the virtual world is not real.

Aliens watch out Alien spaceship hunting satellite to be launched

　　We are often in video or image to see UFOs seem to occur in the vicinity of the international space station, but they are not a UFO, but space debris, space station light and connected to the antenna on the space station, and so on. If someone is able to launch a satellite into Earth orbit to detect and prove the existence of some unknown object, how would that be a problem?

　　Software engineer Dave Cote brought together a group of researchers formed the CubeSat for Disclosure team, they all have a common goal, that is to launch a small satellite to find and verify the real existence of alien spacecraft.

　　Dave Cote said in a press release: "the former astronauts, soldiers, police and Canada former Defense Secretary have said alien flying saucers really exist, how can we ignore such talk, and think of it as nonsense?" He said his project aims to use them to control the potential of low-orbit satellites to study the Earth's atmosphere.

　　The software engineer added: "maybe we will get the data and images of the Aurora, maybe we'll catch a shooting star with some very interesting photos, maybe we can really verify existence of UFO. All we can do is to use our own ways trying and then access the data source. "

　　Today's technology has allowed people to build small, relatively cheap satellite, and then they launch into Earth orbit, and conducted a variety of experiments. Small satellite CubeSat is the size of a shoe box, which can be placed in a variety of scientific equipment.

　　It is understood that these small satellites can reach a height of approximately 195 miles above the Earth (314 km), takes cost about 20,000 dollars, after spending about 3 months of orbital life, this little thing on his way back to Earth will burn themselves.

　　In order to verify the existence of UFOs, the CubeSat for Disclosure team joined in the CubeSat satellite infrared sensors, electromagnetic and radiation, while paired with full 360 degree shot of the two cameras.

　　The project coordinator Dave Shock when in an interview with the Huffington Post said: "we are able to control it, then access to all camera images. If you watch the live broadcast of the international space station on the Internet, the screen may suddenly be cut off, and then tell you the signal is broken. As for the CubeSat, we will complete control of it all, no one can change or destroy the data, all the things that we find are not covered. "

　　At present, the small satellite CubeSat launch date has not yet been decided, the team is raising funds, hopes to place as many test instruments on the satellite. Dave Shock, said: "we will launch the satellite in the rail system of the Mojave desert. " Victorias Secret iPad Mini Case Victorias Secret Case
