    Oculus Go - Oculus unveils $199 stand-alone VR headset "Oculus Go"

    Here's what they say about the 3 DoF: "Both the Oculus Go headset and the controller have only three degrees of freedom instead of six. That's pitch, roll and yaw, but no positional tracking. But then again, you could call that a safety feature. If you don't have a play area, protected by...

    Infinity War VR

    As a kid I used to read the British comic books Fantastic, Terrific, Smash, Pow and Wham, which effectively licensed the contents of Marvel Comics and sold it in the UK. That included Thor, Iron Man, the Avengers, the X-men, etc. But I grew out of it at about the age of 12 or 13 (maybe because...

    Tracker glove

    I don't know when this tracker glove will be on the market, but I think the real question is how much it will cost. If it's below $100 (or £100 in Britain) it could be the next big thing. Otherwise, it'll be an "also ran"

    The new HTC tracker

    One day after the Vive Pro they release the new tracker. Was it a panic release? A way of deflecting flack over the $799 price for the Pro? Or a planned strategy to keep up the momentum of publicity?

    When is the barbecue season coming back to Britain?

    Looks great - and I'm sure it tasted great. What about some stuffing to go with it?

    NOT an Irish joke - VR in education

    Quite right. Entrepreneur's come up from below and were seldom (if ever) born with silver spoons in their mouths.

    When is the barbecue season coming back to Britain?

    I was thinking of doing barbecued shark. But for that I'd need a BIGGER boat!

    Augmented reality without AR glasses

    This story about Sony at SXSW suggests that Sony might have found a way of creating AR (in highly controlled environments) without glasses. That's like the Mona Lisa without the smile!

    When is the barbecue season coming back to Britain?

    I actually once did do a barbecue in the rain - taking advantage of the overhang to shield the barbecue itself. But as soon as the food was ready, we all ran inside!

    NOT an Irish joke - VR in education

    Something about this story made me feel deeply ashamed about all those politically incorrect Irish jokes I used to tell: Irish VR education company gets London & Irish IPO

    When is the barbecue season coming back to Britain?

    I know it only lasts about two days in Britain, but WHICH two days? I want to try out these sauces and have ago at these fish recipes directly in the fire. And if I can pluck up the nerve, I'll try this Hawaiian sand bake too!

    Foveated rendering getting closer...

    That's how they play it. Smaller companies like to hype things up, either to raise capital or to trick their rivals into releasing early. Apple likes to get it right and then spring it on the market in a blaze of publicity.

    Virtual reality - so many barely tapped uses

    Without wishing to get bogged down in this argument, I don't see what it has to do with the topic: expanding the uses of VR. Having said that, I agree with you that it is silly and wrong to take down statues. Instead they should PUT MORE STATUES: e.g. Put up a statue of Abe Lincoln next to a...

    Foveated rendering getting closer...

    Apple appear to be also taking the plunge according to this: http://bestvr.tech/apple-applied-foveated-rendering-patent/ Last year they bought up Sensomotoric Intsruments and then they applied for this European patent. I suspect this is shaping up to be an Apple iOS v Android contest.

    Samsung Odyssey

    There are starving children in the Third World who'd give their right arm for a WMR headset - even if it dooz show screen door effect! (PS When I were yung, we 'ad tp live in shoe box - all 'undred and eighty six of us!") In other words: we people of the industrial world are spoiled.

    I'm considering VR

    If one is taking a punt and has a smart phone, then the logical case would be Google Cardboard (or one of the others of that ilk). The worst you lose is about £40 ($40 :-) and you get to test the waters. That way you can decide how important it is to have cordless/cable-free and also how...
