Nintendo Switch OS Source Code Hints at Switch VR Support

The Nintendo Switch OS source code appears to contain code for partial Switch VR support. Does that mean Nintendo is cooking a surprise?

It has better controls for it too compared to ps4 and xbox...

Then again the screen is not that sharp

Neonridr3201d ago

I can't imagine that the current iteration would allow for VR. I figure we would see an upgraded center portion of the tablet with a higher resolution screen and beefier innards. I imagine the code is in there as a placeholder.

Exactly. Honestly I think the Switch's concept would be perfect for VR in the future. I mean, the console itself could slide into the headset akin to the way it works with phones, and it also already includes with two detachable motion controllers.

However even regular VR sets still have a ways to go. The Switch is a waaaaaaaays away from being able to pull VR off.

About as sharp as a spoon. It has 1/4 the resolution of a Samsung Galaxy s5, s6, s7 or s8. You have to go back to 2012 to the s3 to get such low resolution.

VR at that resolution would be complete crap, and the ginormous size and weight of the switch would make for an unwieldy headset.

Neonridr3200d ago

well PSVR is only 1080p, so I wouldn't go that far, but yes 720p is not good enough for VR.

kneon3200d ago

Even the PSVR has 2.3 times as many pixels as the switch.

The current commercially available VR headsets are barely good enough. The PSVR looks better than it should because of the kind of screen they use, but even the Rift and Vive need to improve.

I can see the pixels on all VR headsets, but to be fair you forget about it once you get into it. I have used a few prototypes that push things further than what is currently available and they look much better.

No, it doesn't. There's nothing to track them.

zivtheawesome3201d ago

I remember Nintendo said that they are testing vr for the switch before it released. Probably just some leftover code

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit34d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing34d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9234d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
