"VR"

[Holy_Diver]

Sweet! Very excited to hear your progress. Setting all this up might be outside my abilities even if you get it working, but at the very least it's freaking awesome to see what you're accomplishing. I have PSVR with Move controllers and both PS3 and PS4 cameras.

There's no set up involved. It sounds like you have everything you need. I also got an idea from the cameras having built-in microphones to adopt voice-command into King's Field, for "equipping" and using magic. I think that this will work very well and free up buttons, and not seem ridiculous at all (as voice features very often do.)

If you have a new model PSVR with built-in headphones you can help to figure out if it needs anything to be changed.

One odd turn of events, is the PlayStation Eye (PS3) camera is recommended for this, just because it's cheap.

I should probably add that it can go up to 120fps and is designed to be low resolution, which are good qualities for tracking (it's made for tracking) that garden variety cameras might not share.


P.S. For the record, I'm not doing anything with Move controllers. They are too expensive anyway. I might play with basic hand tracking (e.g. tracking flesh tones) to make grasping for a keyboard or mouse easier (mainly for developers.) If things like "leap motion" become practical/ubiquitous I would program a hand model for it. I don't see a great use for using your hands in the game, but it's a definite inconvenience to be cutoff from them vis-a-vis the external world. (edited: Oops, repeating myself... seems I already said something about hand tracking before.)
