I'm also pretty excited about using the rift for scientific/technical visualization (I have a DK1), but so far that hasn't been reflected by an appropriate amount of spare hacking time.
If you haven't already, I'd recommend checking out the VRUI youtube demos (for example, this one is pretty sweet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IERHs7yYsWI). The VRUI guys really seem to have nailed a lot of the data set navigation issues as well as various VR-specific issues like having to embed the menu system properly in 3D. I suspect this is because they've been working on such things for years before the rift came along and brought such technology to the general public at a reasonable price :) ~Chris On Tue, May 20, 2014 at 6:31 AM, Simon Danisch <sdani...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Kevin, > this is actually something I wanted to look into after GSOC, as I'm really > psyched about integrating Occulus Rift into the visualization engine, which > would include to have different lense models and camera distortions in the > render pipeline;) > > Am Montag, 19.
