Virtual Reality Engineer Explains One Concept in 5 Levels of Difficulty | WIRED
Рет қаралды 1,164,618
Күн бұрынThe technology behind modern virtual reality is rapidly evolving, but what exactly helps create a better sense of realism and immersion? WIRED has challenged Oculus CTO John Carmack to explain the concept of realism in virtual reality to 5 different people; a child, a pre-teen, a college student, a grad student and a VR expert. John goes over what makes his company's product, the Oculus Rift, so successful at creating convincing VR, as well as the initial hesitance to introduce the lower-powered Gear VR into the market.

Well they do say "Oculus CTO" in description, not just a VR Engineer, but yeah, still an understatement. I was confused at first. Isn't this John Carmack--THE John Carmack, founder of id Software and creator of Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, etc.?

It's in good hands, but the demand just doesn't match what the tech companies hoped it would be. VR is cool for a little while, but it's not something that people want to use all the time, it's a novelty that wears off pretty fast. A year or so ago I would have said that VR is going to basically replace your TV and computer monitor completely. Now I don't think thats the case at all. I think VR is going to end up being more along the lines of surround sound systems for entertainment. They are cool and work pretty well, but the amount of consumers who really care enough about it to spend the money and do the setup is always going to be a small set of people. Not too long ago everyone was talking about how amazing VR is going to be and they were genuinely telling you what could happen in the future. But now, the people who are talking up VR are just the people trying to sell you products and services.

10:18 - 10:55 That's some really interesting insight. Seems like a terrific thing to be aware of while in an immerging field. I know this was two years ago and Valve is now also find meaning ways to push this medium, but I'm excited to see how Oculus competes with Valve. I want to say Valve is in the lead in both the engineering aspect and in the aspect of providing consumers with a meaningful experience. I'm not too certain about how the Index HMD is pushing the envelope, but the potential for unique experiences to be had with the Index knuckles seems very high. It seems that Half-Life Alyx and Boneworks will serve as some of the experiences that will bring meaningful experiences that inspire other develops to emulate the same while adding their own spin on things. I'm pumped to see what comes of this. The applications for storytelling in conjunction with other mediums also seems pretty interesting. This video is some great food for thought. Thanks for the solid content! 👌👌

@centauridev 4 жыл бұрын
@@zakattak80 I disagree. Oculus is way ahead in some ways while valve is in others. Its true what you say, that oculus is making it come out to the everyday user. And valve is more high end and "next gen" Oculus tried to make it more mainstream with the quest for example. And that in its own is just as technologically advanced as the valve index. Getting games to run 72hz on a last Gen processor is quite the achievement. And the fact that they have made an incredible inside out tracking system, really puts oculus just as far ahead as valve.

Computing < Art. I am very amazed at how little modern VR relies on mathematics and physics and optics, and how much is invested in animation and art at every microsecond of experience. Sometimes I convince myself that I am sitting at a machine for weeks while the image updates and the next frame comes in, in some kind of temporal stasis, and wonder at how old and outdated my simple body has become. I am an artifact, and these machines have mothballed me.

I like how he said "Buy back into optimization". There's a lot of bloat in many facets of games/dev/mem usage. Back in the day, programmers had to be so diligent about optimizing the heck out of their programs, because the memory limit was so low, as well as low processing speed. He's right. We're going to hit the upper limit soon. Hmm.... perhaps I oughta follow that inner push into programming, and start off with an optimizing mindset :)

They may appear to be different stuff but if you think about it, him being the pionner of first person shooter games and also a VR Enginner makes perfect sense when you think those ground-breaking games, when they were released, probably gave a feeling of seeming like a real thing. I mean, you looked through the eyes of the character as if they were yours and moved on a 3D space which is kinda similar to VR experiences even though obviously technology is much more advanced right now and you can do a lot more stuff but when you think about it, it's like a first step on that direction.

Mr carmack is a friggen wizard. Anyone can program a game with enough time and effort, it’s this man however that’s able to use software trickery to beat modern day hardware limitations. Going all the way back to doom, he coded the game to where your character is actually the individual on the map screen and every line that you passed through on the map would have a numeric value, rendering what we saw as height and depth on the first person display. Freaking amazing!
