Insane Virtual Reality headset
Filed under: Latest News |
This is simply amazing…..Â
Johnny Chung Lee, a brilliant computer engineer over in America, has come up with this truly brilliant prototype VR headset for the Wii. It works using, err well…. ok I don’t really know how it works but here’s the explanation from Jonny’s website
“Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space.”
As you will see from the video the results are very very effective and even better, you don’t need to wear a stupid oversized and cumbersome headset.Â
