It is! And what the production designers put on screens is part of what communicates with the audience. Maybe the audience needs to get specific information from the UI in order to understand something in the story.…
Yes. OpenTrack has user-editable Bézier curves that map real-world translation and rotation to what’s output to the game. This is an awesome hack and I wish I’d thought of it.
You end up needing more complex optics to focus the image comfortably onto your retina at a distance that feels comfortable. An OLED display on a glasses lens with no other optics would just look like a bright blur…
I agree that 6.5ft^2 is probably too small for a good RDW experience based on the gain numbers I'm familiar with. The tracked volumes of the experiments I was a part of were all on the scale of ~15-20 ft square. (I'm…
Allegiance! Now there's a name I haven't read in a long time. tried to get into that community around the time the first Free Allegiance release happened, but I didn't end up with the right combination of personality…
You might want to look at Wolfpack, mentioned elsewhere in this thread. It requires multiplayer, 2-5 players control a German u-boat against Allied convoys in the Atlantic). It's an interesting combination of sim-lite…
I'm not sure how TIE Fighter's mechanics would translate to modern sensibilities, and I say this as someone who loved the LucasArts games (at least part of the reason I'm a graphics programmer today!) and currently has,…
You try finding a PAPR in stock for sale to anyone who isn't a purchaser for a medical provider or first responder agency right now.. True story: I almost bought a 3M PAPR last fall because I wanted it for a "The…
As a long-time Apple user who switched to Windows/Linux after Apple decided to ditch discrete GPUs and open standards for graphics, 100% this. Razer Blades are the spiritual successors to the pre-unibody Macbooks. That…
For future reference, I saw "OpenDog" and thought we were discussing James Bruton's (XRobots) OpenDog/Mini-Dog, which is where the firmware I linked above comes from. NanoDog is something different, apparently! Sorry…
Thank you for linking to this. That's a pretty compelling story he's telling, I'll have to give it a go if I can find a low-pressure project to experiment on it with!
Same question -- I've been using Kicad on personal and light-duty professional projects for about 5 years (yeah, Altium is the real deal, but when you're making a small run of prototypes for a university lab, sometimes…
https://github.com/XRobots/miniDogV2 The code's a bit of a mess -- James is clearly not a software engineer first. This is totally understandable, given that he does so many other things! When I first saw the code, I…
