Oculus ir Kinect 2 deka pasinersim i kosmoso grozi kaip niekad anksciau..

Earthlight is a first-person space exploration game, built on the Unreal 4 Engine, that uses the Oculus Rift and Kinect 2, to transport players to the International Space Station, and is said to feature the most realistic depiction of the ISS and the Low Earth Orbit environment. Opaque Multimedia has released a set of screenshots of their game, and it looks absolutely breathtaking.

Earthlight will be at the Opaque Multimedia booth at this years GDC early next month, with a public release said to follow soon. It should certainly provide one incredible and unique VR experience.

na jei gerai atkurtu ISS tai as tikrai noreciau tenai apsilankyt.

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, 24^th February, 2015 – Opaque Multimedia currently strictly announced Earthlight, a tech demo designed to denote a immersive energy of a Oculus Rift joined with a Kinect 2. Earthlight will be accessible during a Opaque Multimedia counter during GDC 2015, with a open recover to follow.

Earthlight is a first-person scrutiny diversion where a players stairs into a boots of an wanderer on a International Space Station (ISS) where, from 431 kilometres above, they demeanour down on a Earth from within a comfort of their possess spacesuit.

Featuring a many picturesque depiction of a International Space Station used in an interactive VR sourroundings to-date, Earthlight demonstrates a unequivocally boundary of what is visually practicable in consumer-oriented VR experiences.

In Earthlight, players correlate with a sourroundings wholly by a healthy suit interface, pulling and pulling themselves along a aspect of a ISS as they navigate a network of handles and scaffolds.

The player’s suit is prisoner by a Microsoft Kinect 2 and powered by a company’s Kinect 4 Unreal technology.

 

 

“Visiting a International Space Station, floating openly in space, is a dream of many though a existence gifted by usually a few.” Said Professor Christopher Fluke, Coordinator of a Virtual Reality Theatre during a Centre of Astrophysics and Supercomputing during Swinburne University during a pre-release proof of Earthlight.

“Earthlight is a honestly enchanting experience.  Within moments of putting on a Oculus Rift headset, we was prepared to stand out onto a aspect of a Space Station and start exploring. we am vehement by a intensity for interactive practical practice to play a larger purpose in bringing dreams of space scrutiny to life.”

“It’s been a genuine plea to emanate a pleasing UX when you’re perplexing to mix VR with kinetic input.” says Chris Mackenzie, one of a group members obliged for formulating a worldly physique mapping complement that underlies Earthlight. “We have to compensate tighten courtesy to a series of opposite factors that we don’t routinely have to comment for in required VR projects, quite proprioception.”

“Proprioception is a recognition of a position of your physique and joints” Chris explains. “When we reinstate people’s physique with a practical avatar that mimics their movement, we need to safeguard that what they’re saying matches what they consider their limbs are doing, differently it creates for a deeply unfortunate experience”.

“We have unequivocally pushed both a program and a hardware to their limit.” Says Norman Wang, Earthlight Project Lead and Art Director during Opaque Multimedia. “We unequivocally did put a Kinect 2 by a paces. The Kinect is already flattering good normally, though when you’re in a VR sourroundings where you’re staring during a span of practical arms that are centimetres from a camera, we had to discharge even a smallest bit of jitter while gripping a make-believe responsive.”

Earthlight will be accessible during a Opaque Multimedia counter during GDC 2015, with a open recover to follow.
