an idea to turn bob into true virtual reality

[raaaid]

dear oleg check this out:

it might seem like 6dof at work but actually theres more into it, take a look at the part where it shows the stadium, notice that when the camera closes to the screen the fov grows, just like looking through a real window, thats the reason the discs have such realistic looking

im sure that being the 1c team so innovative and knowing youll include 6dof in bob youll set zoom as an option to an axe of 6dof so when you get close to the screem zooms in reducing fov

all i ask from you is doing this in reverse zoom out when you get close to the screen in order to get this amazingly effect created by johny lee

the adavantages of this idea are ideal for a wwii air combat:

a real working gunsight reticle that will always keep the same apparent size, that of a fighter at 100m

a correct and realistic size of planes at every distance, we all have wonder how really big those birds were

a realistic judgement of speeds, being the sizes right your brain will be able to judge speed instintively, those of planes and bullets

getting rid of distortion in wide views and being able to increase fov with no distortion to an ideal limit or maybe 140º

this is discussed farther in the ubisoft forums:

The grided background with the lines of perspective plus the lines radiating from each disc to the infinite horizon cue to viewer to interpret the disks as deployed in a three dimensional space, mix that with some occlusion and zooming and it looks all swanky and 3d with the pop-out effect. You can produce the same effects with a static 2d display. As a matter of fact, the rube in question knows that you can get this effect with this type of visual display. That is why he chose it!!! Do you think he just happened upon a display with lines of perspective that looks like a box with disks in it??!! It's a known optical illusion.

And the Wiimote thing is just a poor man's TrackIR. Tracking with infrared LCDs has been around for a long while. This is merely the most mass marketed product to include the technology. Get a grip, internets.

A lot of interesting innovations come from people who have taken existing proven technology's and present them in a cohesive package that demonstrates the potential for their use in future interactive media endeavors.

Despite the fact that all these individual bits of technology and "optical effects" are known to many, I have not seen them used in the Wii console yet...(or many PC games).

I think he presents a good case...and judging by the amount of people who keep reposting this clip "over and over again" their are others who find his ideas intriguing too.

Agreed. I thought this forum was not about bringing this type of crap over from the Ubi forums...
