To make virtual reality more real on these parts of the body with

This argument is no longer fresh: If virtual reality to provide a complete immersion experience, coupled with game controller that is not a good choice. We need is a solution, but luckily, some companies try to use his eyes, head and fingers to manipulate virtual world.

When the much-anticipated Oculus Rift and HTC Vive after the release of the first half of this year, there should be many VR content to appear, but the more urgent question is, how to control and interact with virtual objects in it? This problem existed decades ago and earlier VR equipment to explore the content.

Oculus and HTC has its own programmes. Former VR helmet equipped with a wireless Xbox One handle, but will be released again this year to provide a more immersing experience, and you can track motion controller Oculus Touch. HTC Vive Rod equipped with a rival form of controller. But these are not perfect, they do not conform to the way we use the body, such as when you explore a dark cave, click on the button would be very awkward, and controllers take long or be acid.

Eyefluence companies think they can solve this problem, it developed the eye-tracking technology, means you can do anything in the world of virtual reality, such as hitting the hidden animals, application menus and navigation. David Stiehr believe that what users have been watching, controlling the eyes, so why not use it?

Eyefluence technology is from 2013 acquired Eye-Com, a company that later developed a flexible circuit, it is equipped with cameras, lighting sources and other small hardware. In the circuit can be used in a small metal chassis, can be embedded in the future virtual reality devices, not just time.

According to the MIT Technology review the author's experience, Eyefluence technologies get started soon, after simple training can be on the main screen, select a different application, and pan and zoom operations. Allegedly experiences naturally, just like the usual eyes.

Gest

Gest another company using the other parts of the body: fingers. It developed a device with a motion sensor, can be set in hand, has four rings can be worn on the fingers. Gest's products in addition to virtual reality, can also be used in other products. virtual reality headset

Company CEO Mike Pfister believes that its products in addition to playing games, can also help. For example, designers can use the Gest dealing with computer-generated models, or fingers to simulate keyboard input.

Gest and Eyefluence products to be accepted by more people would still take some time, but virtual reality has indeed been able to operate without handles. Rift and Vive uses the basic head tracking technology, using sensors to know head position, and converts it to the corresponding action. This technique can also be used in cheaper Samsung Gear VR, virtual reality devices.

Virtual reality games and Metta will use head-tracking technology service company. Video as it lies in the users eye, only need to move to browse, remain stable over a period of time will be able to choose. The only regret is that returns to the click of a button.

Although experience is not perfect, the purpose of all of these companies are the same, reducing interference make users aware of the virtual world is not real. virtual reality headset

Want to play cool VR games Let us come equipped with a computer

　　Oculus Rift and HTC Vive are already on sale. If you break out of the former and the latter price, the two difficulties, you then have to face the final hurdle – enough good computer configuration. As a demanding player, naturally want to play all cool VR games without cards. So, next we'll look at what kind of PC is really VR Ready. Moschino online shop

　　Although the Oculus and HTC officially unveiled its VR head configuration requirements of the product, but that's really just a minimum configuration, we are certainly not putting the old material to list it again. Now that is cool to play, then there is certainly a higher level.

　　Video card

　　Dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 TI configuration is recommended. VR PC graphics performance is the soul, though Oculus Rift and HTC Vive recommend you to choose GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon R9 290, but only at the lowest level of assurance that you have a good experience. If you want to eliminate all possible factors that can cause dizziness, then must pay attention to the frame rate.

　　For General game, 60 frames is very smooth, but the VR experience, 90 frames would be sufficient. When a higher-resolution screen when put in front of you, any Caton and delay will be magnified, then you are very likely to be the lack of coordination get dizzy. General games to 90 frames, we will need very high configuration, don't forget, a VR game screen but to render it twice.

　　However we recommend dual-graphics is mainly to prepare ahead, current VR squad single GTX 980 is enough, and in fact the existing VR games do not support GPU (the play must be able to play, of course). If insufficient or barely dual graphics cards.

　　Processor

　　We recommend Intel Core CPU i7-6700K, Oculus, and HTC is recommended although some Core i5-4590--a year old but solid midrange CPU.

　　Actually VR Core i5-4590 do enough for gaming, but anyone unable to guarantee developers will always follow the official single to play games, lifelike picture quality especially for the VR game, after all, can be a highlight. Reason for choosing a "k", the CPU was valued its overclocking ability, making you feel when the function has failed, could struggle.

　　Why not use the AMD CPU? VR experts say their so-called "single-threaded performance" poor performance.

　　Memory

　　According to game developer explained that 8GB was sufficient for VR games, more than that is a waste of the function. In memory on this block, you can follow the official 8GB DDR 3lai match the configuration requirements if you want to plan for the future, 16GB, DDR4 specification, of course without any problems.

　　Solution to video card, processor, memory, the three greatest impact on game performance after accessories, next just as you like. Such a configuration is not cheap, but considering the special nature of the VR game, there is no way things. Moschino iPhone 6 plus cases

ESA launches dedicated born to prove general relativity aircraft

　　In the history of mankind, and many intelligence and explosive list of scientists to promote the progress of human society and prove or put forward various theories. Including Copernicus, Galileo and Newton, and others, are scientific and social progress and played an important role. But if you choose one of the most influential scientist in the modern society, I believe that many people would choose Einstein.

　　Perhaps because of Einstein's theories are too far, even today, few can be achieved. And because of his theory was too advanced, so he and never won the Nobel Prize for relativity. Only once, and in 1921 because it looks relatively "obvious" derived from the photoelectric effect.

　　But now, the European Space Agency (ESA) are going to make up for this to some extent for the Einstein of regret, so they are in French Guiana Kourou, launched a probe called Lisa-Pathfinder. The purpose of launching the probe, just to prove the correctness of the general theory of relativity.

　　According to Einstein's vision of gravitational waves is a kind of electromagnetic wave, is under the curvature perturbations in the form of traveling waves pass to the outside. And the space-time curvature is due to the object's mass distribution of lead time nature becomes uneven, causing the bending of spacetime. Such as when the light go through some massive objects, their path will bend, advancing along the large masses of temporal-spatial surfaces.

　　And because of this, general relativity and Newtonian theory of gravity, to some extent conflicting and contradictory. And the mass of the gravitational waves exist and they are proved, it may also help people find "wormholes" and the true meaning of Star Trek. Although announced that it had found some bodies before the existence of gravitational waves, but it is not very accurate. And ESA launched the Lisa-Pathfinder, its purpose is in space to find and capture a black hole emits the true meaning of the existence of gravitational waves.

　　It seems that NASA really recently, many of the practices to get everyone to sit, other than the RKA, ESA also indicates sense. MIU MIU iPhone 5 Case MIU MIU iPhone 5 Case

Do you think fingerprints where the unlock should be placed in the phone

　　IPhone 5s is called fingerprint to unlock a Pandora's box was opened, and with machine manufacturers to continuously follow up the fingerprint to unlock also derived a variety of colors. First of all with the technology continues to mature, is moving from slide identification (such as Galaxy S5) jump to click (such as Apple's Touch ID and the current anti-spam solution).

　　But the manufacturers the choice of location for touch is also different, and the iPhone integrated into the Home button (for example, Galaxy S7/S7 Edge); some are integrated into the back (such as Nexus 6P and Huawei P9), and more manufacturers to do it side (such as Robin and Sony devices).

　　But hold it are not the same. Even unlock the fingerprint on the back is "wearing underwear inside out."

　　Media Droid-Life who happened to be abroad on fingerprint locations voted in recent days, total 3964 votes, including more than 59% (2341) people believe that fingerprint to unlock should be placed at the back, 30% (1179 votes) who believe that fingerprint to unlock should be placed in the front, and 11% (444 votes) who think it should be on the side.

　　For such a controversial topic among manufacturers, you can vote and comment to express their opinions. Disney iPad Mini Case Disney mini cases
