Freiday Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) OculusAfter reading the article about Oculus and VR in Wired Magazine,http://www.wired.com/2014/05/oculus-rift-4/ I wonder what if there's VR(Virtual Reality)of roller coasters like this? Skyscraper Theme Park http://juhyunkim.com/archives/category/skyscraper-theme-park Are there any recent development for VR and roller coaster?

Her0ofLime Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Theme Park Studio will have Oculus Rift support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Well, if imagine that those moments where you can almost feel the airtime on well shot vids will be even more awesome with something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I don't see using Oculus / Morpheus / etc on an actual roller coaster video for a very long time - you'd pretty much have to mount a spherical camera at eye level in a coaster car, shoot basically a bunch of videos at once, and composite them all together in a spherical viewport to get the effect right. To do it on a regular mounted on-ride video, you'd have to restrain the viewer's head to a fixed position otherwise they could get motion sick. On the other hand, software applications like NoLimits Coaster and / or Theme Park Studio can easily make this happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, was thinking it'd probably be way easier to do on something like NL than an actual vid, but if someone were able to take the time and money to be able to try it with a real coaster, and did it right, that'd be amazing! Also remember a while back, la ronde was testing some sort of VR system to go with their B&M hyper, Goliath. Guess it didn't work though, as I haven't heard anything about it in the last while. It's too bad, that would've been kind of cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freiday Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 But, I don't know how advanced is theme park studio. Looks like Oculus is doing something totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
