So... it's Friday, one of those entirely non-productive Fridays at work... at a college with a new program to teach game development... and they're starting in on the VR headsets. So, I'm thinking, can I use these VR headsets on something more fun, something like driving a firetruck around Penguinville?
Experiments so far, not so good. But, hey, I'm just the guy that installs the HW and software... I don't know how to use this stuff. CAD, I understand, racing simulators, okay, but VR? Nope. First run today. I was thinking I'd just have to modify the input map to, you know, make the image in the goggles pan with head movement. But, it appears a bit more complicated than that.
Has anyone got this working?
And, if not... can anyone give a quick description of what would have to change in the game to support VR goggles? Because... I do work in a college with a new program to teach game development... and our college programs have final team projects that do some pretty interesting things. I'd have to sell the idea, but I think it would be very cool to be up at the end of that bouncing firetruck ladder looking around with VR googles.
Possible, or just not worth the effort?
