Star Wars on Oculus Rift: The Future Of Gaming Starts?

With Oculus Rift closer than ever, the developers are working at breakneck speed to create applications that support the bulky but miraculous virtual reality mask.

A few days ago, the Hammerhead VR, a new company specializing in the creation of virtual reality applications, released an impressive trailer of the proposal it has developed for a Star Wars virtual reality game.

The video was created using the Unreal 4 Engine and shows a wandering on world famous Star Wars world, as he could show through Oculus Rift. See this:

Of course, it will take some time for gamers to experience the experience of an X-wing flying over the Death star. Hammerhead has not revealed much about creating the video and future plans about the game, but said it was a nonprofit project made by film fans.

However, a new phase in the history of gaming is approaching. The final version of Oculus Rift was presented to reporters last June. The mask looks significantly more ergonomic and attractive, with rounded corners, while the consumer packaging will also include an Xbox 360 controller.

This development is not so unexpected, since Oculus Rift is owned by Facebook last year, which develops its own virtual reality applications. In turn, the διαθέτει ποσοστό μετοχών της Facebook και έτσι κερδίζει άμεσα από την οικονομική και τεχνολογική ανάπτυξη του εν λόγω networks.

It is obvious that major technology companies are preparing to pursue the virtual reality. In fact, according to a Digi Capital survey, it is estimated that 2020 will make the virtual reality industry more than 150 billions of dollars.

The competition is mainly focused on the production of compatible software since it seems that the lion's share in terms of hardware will be won by Oculus, at least with the current . Φυσικά, πολλοί τεχνολογικοί κολοσσοί όπως η HTC και η Samsung έχουν παρουσιάσει ήδη τις δικές τους virtual reality, με το Vive και το Gear respectively.Oculus Rift Oculus Rift Oculus Rift

The battle to produce software compatible with virtual reality platforms is currently focused mainly on the gaming world. Also, as VR Palmer Luckey, the lead author at the Under Forbes magazine's Under 30, said, the electronics industry is the most appropriate ground for developing virtual reality applications since it is "the only industry that has several talented developers who can create the required 3D environments. "

Βέβαια, με την εισαγωγή της εικονικής πραγματικότητας το gaming δεν θα είναι ποτέ πια το ίδιο, αφού το Oculus Rift κάνει χρήση της περιφερειακής όρασης του παίχτη και βέβαια του tracking, δηλαδή της μετακίνησης της εικόνας σύμφωνα με τις κινήσεις του κεφαλιού του. Έτσι, η εμπειρία των video games γίνεται πιο ρεαλιστική από ποτέ. Τα πρώτα παιχνίδια που θα λειτουργήσουν στη μάσκα εικονικής πραγματικότητας είναι τα Eve: Valkyrie, , Edge of Nowhere και Herobound. Όλοι όμως ονειρεύονται τη μεταφορά του δικού τους αγαπημένου τίτλου σε μορφή εικονικής πραγματικότητας.

However, the most pessimistic (or realistic) are afraid that companies will have difficulty creating games that make the most of headset capabilities and will be limited to developing virtual worlds with minimal gameplay. In June, this year's E3 was generally acknowledged E3 of virtual reality, both hardware and software.

But a lot of reviewers, like Todd Martens of the LA Times, complained that the playable demos of the games they played were not that successful. Generally, this self-action and interactivity lagged behind the ordinary screen. Although the companies have clarified that the releases that were presented were not the final ones, the problem remains: Will we finally be able to really play in a three-dimensional virtual reality environment?

A good middle ground solution would be the initial implementation of virtual reality in multiplayer games with less demanding graphics environments. For example, it's much easier to test new technology in a static game, such as an online poker game, than in a complex first-person shooter with intense action.

Besides, as Palmer Luckey said at the conference, the primary goal of Virtual Reality is to "nullify distances". And in the case of poker, of course, changes to the online game will be extremely important, since players will now have the opportunity to face their opponents, even with famous players, rather than just watching the game's progress on the screen of the computer.

So they can "read" their movements or even influence their psychology. But how does this new element affect their strategy? players in an online game of the popular Texas Hold'em poker? It will definitely force them to rethink the way they play today. In any case, the introduction of virtual reality will make the game much more realistic, giving players the feeling that they are playing together in the same room, even if they are miles away from each other.

However, tech specialists such as techradar and techcrunch believe that in the future, Oculus Rift's capabilities will be able to be used ideally in MMORPG environments. Meanwhile, Oculus is also compiling peripheral-compatible movies through Oculus Story Studio. In fact, he recently released the trailer for the new film, Henry, a comedy directed by Ramiro Lopez Dau, known for his work at Pixar.

Το Oculus rift θα είναι διαθέσιμο για αγορά τους πρώτους μήνες του . Μέχρι τότε, μπορούμε να προετοιμαστούμε διαβάζοντας τις προδιαγραφές συμβατότητας του Rift σε υπολογιστή με Windows, και να κάνουμε όνειρα για τις δυνατότητές του, ενώ οι developers κοπιάζουν να μας ευχαριστήσουν.
