EVE General Discussion

Experience the feeling of what life would be like with 1Hz server ticks with Eve Online: VR.

kek, my GM would throw a fit.

meh. I'm more hopeful for AR rather than VR.
And more likely too as it integrates much better with both work and games.

Yeah, I'm not sure how that's going to be. I'd rather plug it into my smart phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, or video feed over wireless. HoloLens is going to be pricy if not a little bulky all being self-contained. But it's a start. I'm sure google is back there doing something, glass II or whatever. That'd be nice for my ingress raids anyway. Though I suppose that would be scary, some dude standing at the public park fountain pointing and waving his hands around hah

Stroke of genius. Develop a product for one group of people, then take it away and redesign it exclusively (restricted to) for a different group of people. Oh my gosh, just brilliant! <--augmented reality hehe

I don't understand that really.... I mean I do, technically, but I don't. Trendy social media. Forums are about all I care for, the usenet before that. Selfies, no, hehe.

I look at AR and VR in the technical sense of it, I've been into multimedia development for a long time (programming, 3D modeling/animating, sound engineering etc. (just my opinion from that perspective)). I've seen a lot of VR stuff come and go over the decades, even 3D movies fad in and fad back out a number of times. AR is different though, completely new and applicable to a wide spectrum of uses (obviously beyond googles understanding). This is why it's not going to be just another fad but pretty much wind up being all around us, fully developed.

Imagine zooming out and viewing EVE's tactical grid view of a battle, but all assets are floating in your living room, as you walk around it all. You can even do that while interacting with your irl surroundings, interact with family, feed your fish etc. And then even zooming back in and get more of the VR view with all the video including star field BG's and all that. Eventually, those fully enclosed VR units will be like "people actually used those??".
