Depth VR-China developing for cheap vr&motion detecting devices

With Depth-VR, a Chinese startup wants to bring 3D and motion detection for cheap into gaming
A Chinese startup is working on a gadget that will bring an immersive, 3D experience to gaming for a very low price – FOR LESS THAN US$ 70
The Beijing-based team is developing Depth-VR, which consists of a motion detector that sits atop your computer screen while the user wears a pair of techy 3D glasses (pictured above). It’s a bit like Oculus Rift meets Leap Motion, because the motion detector can turn gestures into actions in a game, as seen below in an early prototype being used with Fruit Ninja. But it’s not truly Oculus-style virtual reality – it’s basically just glorified 3D. That’s part of what allows it to be so cheap. By the admission of the Depth-VR team, the depth of field achieved is more like the ‘parallax effect’ seen in Apple’s iOS 7, with a bit of hologram voodoo thrown in. Here’s how it looks in a test game

That's fine. GT7 would overshadow it anyway at it has open wheel and regular cars.

Should have been spending their time updating Squadrons with better resolution, frame rate, haptics, etc as there isn't a game like that on PS VR 2 yet.

But it's EA. They don't think.

Babadook71022d ago

I agree. It would sell better on PSVR2 right now.

A wasted opportunity, but I don't buy EA / Codemasters stuff anyway. Grid Legends just came out on Plus and I haven't touched it. Why would I when I have GT7 and PSVR2?

Abnor_Mal1023d ago

Not into F1 racing, but still a missed opportunity.

ApocalypseShadow1023d ago

That's where opportunity presents itself that they could offer something else that other developers haven't offered yet. Yeah. There's No Man's Sky. But a space game with a story would be great. Like the old days with Colony Wars.

Abnor_Mal1023d ago

Exactly, they could have possibly lured more players just from the inclusion of a vr mode.

I miss Colony wars and G-Police, Low-Fi I hope will scratch that itch when it releases. We also need a vr War/Starhawk game.

Knushwood Butt1022d ago

Just watched the trailer of Low-Fi. Most definitely on my radar.
