Virtual reality for the masses

Post by contegufo » Sat Jan 09, 2016 11:27 pm

Hi

Next year they can expect the first devices marketed for VR.
Oculus Rift https://www.oculus.com/en-us/rift/ will be sold at € 700 but will require PCs with NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD R9 290 (equivalent or higher). Nvidia presented the program and the brand GeForce GTX VR Ready for recognizing the flight computer and video card ready for the VR.
Sony almost ready its Playstation VR, will cost between 500 and 600 $.
3D graphics (modeling & rendering) will be much demand for VR content.
Indigo also will have to consider the RV.

I remember years ago, Silicon Graphics computers that allowed the RV in Gouroud shading and low number of frames. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealityEngine
Mac Mini 2011 - 2,3 GHz Intel Core i5
16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 - Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 Mb.
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB - MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Currently not a priority for the coming years but it could be important. Apple will probably also its proposals with hardware up to the virtual reality.
