![]() In particular, the benefits of integration with cloud computing have not been comprehensively considered. Although VR tools with their features have been applied and developed in previous HRI research, all-encompassing tools or frameworks remain unavailable. The significant advantages of VR systems for HRI are: 1) cost reduction, as experimental facilities are not required in a real environment 2) provision of the same environmental and embodied interaction conditions to test subjects 3) visualization of arbitrary information and situations that cannot occur in reality, such as playback of past experiences, and 4) ease of access to an immersive and natural interface for robot/avatar teleoperations. Recent technology in virtual reality (VR) can potentially address these time and effort challenges. Research on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) requires the substantial consideration of an experimental design, as well as a significant amount of time to practice the subject experiment. 2Department of Informatics, The Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI), Tokyo, Japan.1National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, Japan.Also interested in the 3D UI which is pretty rough now but shows some promise.Tetsunari Inamura 1,2* and Yoshiaki Mizuchi 1 I have many ways to improve the visual detail, probably want to add lighting and fog and everything, using a progressive renderer like I have experimented with on iOS. I add some FXAA to try to cut down on aliasing. If you have a crappy card and are seeing frame rate issues, go to SteamVR Developer settings, and lower the resolution even further. The image is rendered at 60% resolution to keep the frame rate high. I want to add some of this in the future. Some of my favorites (with more info) can be found here: įor rendering efficiency - there is no lighting, normals calculation, fog, etc. I like using long skinnies for primitives instead spheres:Ĭoloring - The renderer colors based on iteration count only, indexing into a color map. Screenshots from FORM Kaleidoscopic IFS(_FractalType = 1.0) Straight out of this sick demo… Found this code which I still don’t understand but produces many interesting variants that are not seen in the original demo like: Screenshot from FORM Hartverdrahtet Demo(_FractalType = 0.5) Inconsistent Scales: polygon geometry (controllers, sliders, ui) is rendered at a different scale than the fractal, so they don’t composite correctly.Ībout the Fractals Mandelbox (_FractalType = 0.0) So if there is a world that looks very distorted and flattened, just skip to the next one. Squashed Worlds: Some presets are corrupted (because quaternions). If you zoom in too far, everything will disappear. There is LOD in the renderer that will make things further away less detailed. You can zoom into the wrong spot, and totally change the scale of the world and then you won’t be able to go anywhere. Zooming in too far : Zooming is awesome, but must be done carefully. Having these visible will override the preset when it is loaded, so it’s better to keep this hidden with the onscreen button.įor beginners or in a public scenario, the advanced controls should probably be disabled. These can accidentally be clicked while using the trackball, and are very sensitive.ģD Boxes - The position and rotation of the gray and white box controls some parameters of the fractal. Sliders - using NewtonVR for interactions, there are some sliders to manipulate fractal parameters. ![]() ![]() Onscreen GUI toggles two types of controls I’m working on: To Rotate: Grip Points rotate around the trackball center.To Scale: Increase or decrease the distance between hands.To Translate: Move both hands in the same direction.The midpoint between the hands is the center of the trackball.hold the grip buttons on both hands simultaneously.In VR it is slightly different, and will take some getting used to but it’s probably worth it because it’s awesome. This is a common form of 3D manipulation on 2D screens. The distance from the controller to head is the speed.Controller orientation controls flying direction.Right Trigger = forward left trigger = backwards.Encourage clicking the thumb pad (next preset).Click “disable sliders” on the onscreen GUI.I’d love for anyone who has any feedback to email me: nshelton at gmail dot com Requirements I haven’t had time ot do all the features I wanted, so I decided to release it in its half baked state.
