Oculus Rift Dev Kit 2 pre-orders open today, priced at $350
Official Website：http://www.oculusvr.com/dk2/
Announcing the Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 (DK2)
Since the launch of the Oculus Kickstarter, we’ve been focused on building the best virtual reality platform. The original development kit was a strong starting point that showed the world a glimpse of presence, but its shortcomings prevented it from delivering great VR.
Almost exactly one year after shipping the original dev kit, we’re pleased to announce DK2, the second development kit for the Oculus Rift!
The second development kit features many of the key technical breakthroughs and core elements of the consumer Rift including a low-persistence, high-definition display and precise, low-latency positional head tracking.
DK2 isn’t identical to the consumer Rift, but the fundamental building blocks for great VR are there. All the content developed using DK2 will work with the consumer Rift. And while the overall experience still needs to improve before it’s consumer-ready, we’re getting closer everyday — DK2 is not the Holodeck yet, but it’s a major step in the right direction.
Like the Crystal Cove prototype, DK2 uses a low persistence OLED display to eliminate motion blur and judder, two of the biggest contributors to simulator sickness. Low persistence also makes the scene appear more visually stable, increasing the potential for presence. The high-definition 960×1080 per-eye display reduces the screen-door effect and improves clarity, color, and contrast.
DK2 also integrates precise, low-latency positional head tracking using an external camera that allows you to move with 6-degrees-of-freedom and opens up all sorts of new gameplay opportunities like peering around corners, leaning in to get a closer look at objects in the world, and kicking back on a virtual beach.
Precise positional tracking is another key requirement for comfortable virtual reality; without it, an enormous amount of your real world movement is lost. We’re looking forward to seeing the new experiences the community creates now that positional head tracking is a core element of the platform.
We’ve also included updated orientation tracking, a built-in latency tester, an on-headset USB accessory port, new optics, elimination of the infamous control box, a redesigned SDK and further optimized Unity and Unreal Engine 4 integrations.
All in, DK2 delivers a massive leap forward in terms of the quality of the VR experiences you’re able to create and enjoy. The consumer Rift will be another major step beyond that, but in the meantime DK2 brings the world closer to great consumer virtual reality than ever before.
Even with all these changes, we’ve tried to keep the price as low as possible. DK2 will be $350 at launch and you can pre-order the hardware, reserving your spot in the queue, starting today at www.oculusvr.com/order. We expect to begin shipping the first batch of DK2s in July, and we’ll ramp up production based on interest.
GDC 2014
We’re debuting the second development kit this week at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco with EVE: Valkyrie by CCP, UE4 Elemental Defense by Epic, and a new demo, UE4 Couch Knight!
Couch Knight was built by the team at Epic Games to showcase the positional tracking and basic avatars in a setting with shared presence. The tech demo juxtaposes a realistic scene with two cartoon knights, controlled by the players, who burst to life and battle throughout the room on couches, shelves and even the players’ avatars.
The players’ head movements and position are actually mapped to the avatars using UE4’s inverse kinematic system, which makes for a taste of a social experience.
A huge thank you to the team at Epic for bringing Couch Knights to life! If you’re at the show this week, be sure to swing by the booth and check it out.
What’s Next?
We’re deep into development on the consumer Rift. We have a lot more planned, including improvements to comfort, resolution, tracking, software, ergonomics, optics, industrial design, and the overall experience.
Virtual reality is going to continue to evolve rapidly in the coming years. There’s no cutting corners or ‘good enough’ when it comes to VR; the consumer Rift needs to be perfect and we’re dedicated to getting it right. We’re moving as fast as possible and promise it’ll be worth the wait.
The passion of the VR community is what has made all this possible, from the Kickstarter campaign to the hundreds of games and experiences we've seen so far. And this is still just the beginning.
We truly believe virtual reality will change the world — Thanks for being part of the journey with us.

Facebook to acquire Oculus VR for $2 billion
Facebook20亿美元收购虚拟现实公司OculusVR
Facebook今天宣布与虚拟现实技术先驱Oculus VR公司达成了最终协议，将以近20亿美元的价格将其收购。
Oculus VR公司是虚拟现实技术的先行者，该公司的虚拟现实头盔Oculus Rift Development Kits获得非常多关注，目前已经获得了75000多个订单。虽然这种虚拟现实技术除游戏以外的应用还处于初期阶段，但好几家企业已经在实验这种技术，Facebook计划将Oculus在游戏里的现有优势延伸到包括通讯、媒体和娱乐、教育等其他领域。
“当下最热门的平台是手机，我们也要为未来的平台做好准备。”Facebook的创始人兼CEO马克·扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)这样说道。“Oculus将有机会创造最具社交性的平台，并将改变我们工作、娱乐和交流的方式。”
Oculus VR的联合创始人兼CEO布兰登·艾里布(Brendan Iribe)也回应：“我们非常激动能够与马克以及Facebook小组合作开发世界上最好的虚拟现实平台，我们相信虚拟现实将提供以魔法般的社交体验。”
今年在旧金山举办的开发者大会上，索尼公司重磅放出虚拟现实头盔Project Morpheu，无疑让虚拟现实技术成了本届开发者大会最受人瞩目的焦点。Oculus VR也公布了他们的新款虚拟现实设备DK2。facebook此番收购无疑是瞄准了未来市场，而所谓的未来在扎克伯格眼里或许不只是游戏。
Facebook to Acquire Oculus
Facebook today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Oculus VR, the leader in immersive virtual reality technology, for a total of approximately $2 billion. This includes $400 million in cash and 23.1 million shares of Facebook common stock (valued at $1.6 billion based on the average closing price of the 20 trading days preceding March 21, 2014 of $69.35 per share). The agreement also provides for an additional $300 million earn-out in cash and stock based on the achievement of certain milestones.
Oculus is the leader in immersive virtual reality technology and has already built strong interest among developers, having received more than 75,000 orders for development kits for the company's virtual reality headset, the Oculus Rift. While the applications for virtual reality technology beyond gaming are in their nascent stages, several industries are already experimenting with the technology, and Facebook plans to extend Oculus' existing advantage in gaming to new verticals, including communications, media and entertainment, education and other areas. Given these broad potential applications, virtual reality technology is a strong candidate to emerge as the next social and communications platform.
"Mobile is the platform of today, and now we're also getting ready for the platforms of tomorrow," said Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. "Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play and communicate."
"We are excited to work with Mark and the Facebook team to deliver the very best virtual reality platform in the world," said Brendan Iribe, co-founder and CEO of Oculus VR. "We believe virtual reality will be heavily defined by social experiences that connect people in magical, new ways. It is a transformative and disruptive technology, that enables the world to experience the impossible, and it's only just the beginning."
Oculus will maintain its headquarters in Irvine, CA, and will continue development of the Oculus Rift, its ground-breaking virtual reality platform.
The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014.
Message from Mark Zuckerberg
I'm excited to announce that we've agreed to acquire Oculus VR, the leader in virtual reality technology.
Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. For the past few years, this has mostly meant building mobile apps that help you share with the people you care about. We have a lot more to do on mobile, but at this point we feel we're in a position where we can start focusing on what platforms will come next to enable even more useful, entertaining and personal experiences.
This is where Oculus comes in. They build virtual reality technology, like the Oculus Rift headset. When you put it on, you enter a completely immersive computer-generated environment, like a game or a movie scene or a place far away. The incredible thing about the technology is that you feel like you're actually present in another place with other people. People who try it say it's different from anything they've ever experienced in their lives.
Oculus's mission is to enable you to experience the impossible. Their technology opens up the possibility of completely new kinds of experiences.
Immersive gaming will be the first, and Oculus already has big plans here that won't be changing and we hope to accelerate. The Rift is highly anticipated by the gaming community, and there's a lot of interest from developers in building for this platform. We're going to focus on helping Oculus build out their product and develop partnerships to support more games. Oculus will continue operating independently within Facebook to achieve this.
But this is just the start. After games, we're going to make Oculus a platform for many other experiences. Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face -- just by putting on goggles in your home.
This is really a new communication platform. By feeling truly present, you can share unbounded spaces and experiences with the people in your life. Imagine sharing not just moments with your friends online, but entire experiences and adventures.
These are just some of the potential uses. By working with developers and partners across the industry, together we can build many more. One day, we believe this kind of immersive, augmented reality will become a part of daily life for billions of people.
Virtual reality was once the dream of science fiction. But the internet was also once a dream, and so were computers and smartphones. The future is coming and we have a chance to build it together. I can't wait to start working with the whole team at Oculus to bring this future to the world, and to unlock new worlds for all of us.

Oculus Joins Facebook
We started Oculus with a vision of delivering incredible, affordable, and ubiquitous consumer virtual reality to the world. We’ve come a long way in the last 18 months: from foam core prototypes built in a garage to an incredible community of active and talented developers with more than 75,000 development kits ordered. In the process, we’ve defined what consumer virtual reality needs to be and what it’s going to require to deliver it.
A few months ago, Mark, Chris, and Cory from the Facebook team came down to visit our office, see the latest demos, and discuss how we could work together to bring our vision to millions of people. As we talked more, we discovered the two teams shared an even deeper vision of creating a new platform for interaction that allows billions of people to connect in a way never before possible.
Today, we’re pleased to announce that we’ve joined forces with Facebook to create the best virtual reality platform in the world.
At first glance, it might not seem obvious why Oculus is partnering with Facebook, a company focused on connecting people, investing in internet access for the world and pushing an open computing platform. But when you consider it more carefully, we’re culturally aligned with a focus on innovating and hiring the best and brightest; we believe communication drives new platforms; we want to contribute to a more open, connected world; and we both see virtual reality as the next step.
Most important, Facebook understands the potential for VR. Mark and his team share our vision for virtual reality’s potential to transform the way we learn, share, play, and communicate. Facebook is a company that believes that anything is possible with the right group of people, and we couldn’t agree more.
This partnership is one of the most important moments for virtual reality: it gives us the best shot at truly changing the world. It opens doors to new opportunities and partnerships, reduces risk on the manufacturing and work capital side, allows us to publish more made-for-VR content, and lets us focus on what we do best: solving hard engineering challenges and delivering the future of VR.
Over the next 10 years, virtual reality will become ubiquitous, affordable, and transformative, and it begins with a truly next-generation gaming experience. This partnership ensures that the Oculus platform is coming, and that it’s going to change gaming forever.
We’ll see you in the Metaverse! – Palmer, Brendan, John and the Oculus team

虚拟现实大受关注 Valve知名员工跳槽Oculus
本周早些时候，Facebook宣布以20亿美元的价格收购专注于虚拟现实技术的Oculus VR公司，业界人士对此褒贬不一。不过今天，Valve的首席程序设计师Michael Abrash宣布离职加入Oculus VR，似乎为这次收购的评价添加了不少正能量。
“我非常希望能让我的职业生涯致力于研发最尖端的虚拟现实技术，我也很高兴能与John Garmack(id Software创始人，Michael Abrash曾经在id Software任职)再度一同工作。我们将做的不仅仅是改变游戏，而是彻底变革人类与计算机进行信息交互的方式。”
Michael Abrash并不是从Valve转向Oculus VR的第一人。今年初，Valve的首席工程师Atman Binstock就加盟了Oculus VR并成为其首席架构师。可以看出业界对于虚拟现实技术的前景还是非常看好的，作为玩家的我们也期待着颠覆式的交互游戏技术早日来到我们面前。

ZeniMax accusing Carmack of stealing tech when he left for Oculus
Carmack被指控从id窃取技术带给Oculus后进行反驳
《毁灭战士 DOOM》开发者id工作室的母公司Zenimax指控id工作室联合创始人John Carmack从原公司盗取“关键技术”并带到Oculus Rift。
Zenimax发表了一篇声明，“Zenimax可以确认，我们已经就Oculus Rift的开发和营销事宜向Oculus发出了正式法律权利通告。未经Zenimax的允许，Zenimax的技术将不可被注册，转让或出售。Zenimax曾经于2012年向Oculus 员工和Palmer Luckey提供其所需的VR技术以及重要的协助，让Oculus Rift成为可用的VR产品，优于其它VR市场同类产品。”
声明中还写到，Oculus创始人Palmer Lucky曾以书面形式承认，Zenimax拥有一部分Oculus 公司正在使用的技术专利。“现在被Oculus使用着的，Carmack先生作为Zenimax雇员期间开发的技术和知识，都是由Zenimax拥有的。在Facebook收购Oculus之前，Luckey先生就曾以书面形式承认Zenimax对于相应知识产权的所有权。”
“Luckey也曾同意，未经允许，不应将这一技术透露给第三方。Oculus利用并侵害了Zenimax的技术和知识产权，而且并没有经过授权，也没有支付赔偿和费用。Zenimax和Oculus曾经尝试尝试商讨Oculus如何就此事向Zenimax进行赔偿，但无法达成协议。Zenimax认为，有必要现在处理此事并采取行动保护自己的权益。”
看来Zenimax很生气，但是Oculus却不屑一顾。华尔街日报报道，Oculus在一份声明中回复称：“很遗憾，但每次有这种交易变动的时候，总会有人站出来要求伸张自己的权益。我们将不懈地维护Oculus公司和它投资者的利益。”
当然，Oculus刚刚以20亿美元的身价卖给了Facebook，在这种时候提出法律诉求确实让人觉得可疑，不过显然John Carmack曾是两家公司共同的雇员和事件争论的焦点，所以事态究竟会如何发展，我们完全无法判断。
最新更新：Carmack对此发表推特声明：“我完成的工作从未申请过专利。Zenimax拥有我写的代码，但他们不拥有VR。”
如果这是某个会议现场，他一定会扔下麦克风走人不回头。
ZeniMax statement
ZeniMax confirms it recently sent formal notice of its legal rights to Oculus concerning its ownership of key technology used by Oculus to develop and market the Oculus Rift. ZeniMax's technology may not be licensed, transferred or sold without ZeniMax Media's approval. ZeniMax's intellectual property rights arise by reason of extensive VR research and development works done over a number of years by John Carmack while a ZeniMax employee, and others. ZeniMax provided necessary VR technology and other valuable assistance to Palmer Luckey and other Oculus employees in 2012 and 2013 to make the Oculus Rift a viable VR product, superior to other VR market offerings.
The proprietary technology and know-how Mr. Carmack developed when he was a ZeniMax employee, and used by Oculus, are owned by ZeniMax. Well before the Facebook transaction was announced, Mr. Luckey acknowledged in writing ZeniMax's legal ownership of this intellectual property. It was further agreed that Mr. Luckey would not disclose this technology to third persons without approval. Oculus has used and exploited ZeniMax's technology and intellectual property without authorization, compensation or credit to ZeniMax. ZeniMax and Oculus previously attempted to reach an agreement whereby ZeniMax would be compensated for its intellectual property through equity ownership in Oculus but were unable to reach a satisfactory resolution. ZeniMax believes it is necessary to address these matters now and will take the necessary action to protect its interests.
Oculus VR statement
It's unfortunate, but when there's this type of transaction, people come out of the woodwork with ridiculous and absurd claims. We intend to vigorously defend Oculus and its investors to the fullest extent.

Oculus further defends itself against ZeniMax's theft accusation
Oculus VR new statement
We are disappointed but not surprised by ZeniMax’s actions and we will prove that all of its claims are false. In the meantime, we would like to clarify a few key points:
• There is not a line of ZeniMax code or any of its technology in any Oculus products.
• John Carmack did not take any intellectual property from ZeniMax.
• ZeniMax has misstated the purposes and language of the ZeniMax non-disclosure agreement that Palmer Luckey signed.
• A key reason that John permanently left ZeniMax in August of 2013 was that ZeniMax prevented John from working on VR, and stopped investing in VR games across the company.
• ZeniMax canceled VR support for Doom 3 BFG when Oculus refused ZeniMax’s demands for a non-dilutable equity stake in Oculus.
• ZeniMax did not pursue claims against Oculus for IP or technology, ZeniMax has never contributed any IP or technology to Oculus, and only after the Facebook deal was announced has ZenimMx now made these claims through its lawyers.
• Despite the fact that the full source code for the Oculus SDK is available online (developer.oculusvr.com), ZeniMax has never identified any ‘stolen’ code or technology.
Oculus表示Rift虚拟现实装置没有使用Zenimax代码
Oculus表示Rift虚拟现实头盔设备并没有使用任何ZeniMax代码或者技术，虽然后者一直在据理力争。
现在属于Facebook旗下的Oculus虚拟现实技术公司周一向媒体发出声明，表示“对Zenimax的行为感到失望但并不震惊，并且将会想办法来证明Zenimax的声明是错的。”
Zenimax之前声明表示Oculus CTO约翰卡马克还在Id软件时曾偷取了Zenimax的一些知识产权用于开发Rift装置。但Oculus后来指出，Oculus Rift的开发源代码在网上都能找得到，而Zenimax却无法找出窃取或者盗用的代码在哪里。
卡马克本人也表示“Oculus没有使用任何在Zenimax合同规定下本人写的代码”。
Oculus还补充道卡马克离开Id软件公司很大原因就在于Zenimax曾阻止他开发虚拟现实项目。在Oculus拒绝为Zenimax提供公司的非稀释股权后，Zenimax中止了Doom 3 BFG版的VR技术支持。
Oculus最后表示Zenimax的这次控诉距离Facebook花20亿美元收购公司时间很近，可能是醉翁之意不在酒。

343前艺术总监加入Oculus VR 打造第一方游戏团队
根据Oculus推特发布的消息，343 Industries的前艺术总监Kenneth Scott将作为艺术总监来领导Oculus VR的内部自主开发团队。
Scott在2008年帮助组建了343 Industries的艺术部门。他在今年的1月份离开了工作室，接受了一份远程视觉设计咨询的职位。
Scott是继上个月Valve的开发者Aaron Nicholls和Michael Abrash加入Oculus VR后又一名加入公司的骨干人员。Nicholls将会同前Valve的虚拟现实计划的首席工程师Atman Binstock一同合作。
总裁Brendan Iribe在本月初透露，Oculus VR目前对于一个可以支持多达10亿玩家的大型多人网络游戏非常感兴趣。他表示这款虚拟现实网游将需要“一个比今时今日的网络规模更大的网络”，但是Facebook用20亿美金收购了Oculus是一个好的开始。Iribe随后表示Oculus将会继续专注于游戏，但是并不会限制自我的潜力发展。
在上个月的采访中，Oculus的创始人Palmer Luckey透露了Oculus可以让玩家在带上头盔的情况下运行游戏或者切换游戏的软件体验。他说：“这是非常宏大的计划。我还不能过多谈论这个项目。开发这种项目是非常大的工程。这不只是一个商店或者网页，它需要同VR融合，你必须去研究如何达成这种融合。我们有大量的员工正在努力工作着。目前谈论它还为时过早。”

ZeniMax formally sues Oculus after a few weeks of accusations
ZeniMax和id以非法获取商业机密罪起诉Oculus VR
ZeniMax Media and id Software File Suit against Oculus VR and Its Founder, Palmer Luckey
ZeniMax Media and its subsidiary, id Software, filed suit today against Oculus VR and its founder, Palmer Luckey, for illegally misappropriating ZeniMax trade secrets relating to virtual reality technology, and infringing ZeniMax copyrights and trademarks. ZeniMax is also asserting claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and unfair competition against the defendants. The suit was filed in federal court in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
The suit arises from the defendants’ unlawful exploitation of intellectual property, including trade secrets, copyrighted computer code, and technical know-how relating to virtual reality technology that was developed by ZeniMax after years of research and investment. ZeniMax provided this valuable intellectual property to defendants under a binding Non-Disclosure Agreement that specifies such intellectual property is owned exclusively by ZeniMax and cannot be used, disclosed, or transferred to third parties without ZeniMax’s approval. ZeniMax’s intellectual property has provided the fundamental technology driving the Oculus Rift since its inception. Nevertheless, the defendants refused all requests from ZeniMax for reasonable compensation and continue to use ZeniMax’s intellectual property without authorization.
All efforts by ZeniMax to resolve this matter amicably have been unsuccessful. Oculus has recently issued a public statement remarkably claiming that “ZeniMax has never contributed IP or technology to Oculus.” Meanwhile, Luckey has held himself out to the public as the visionary developer of virtual reality technology, when in fact the key technology Luckey used to establish Oculus was developed by ZeniMax.
“Intellectual property forms the foundation of our business,” said Robert Altman, Chairman & CEO of ZeniMax. “We cannot ignore the unlawful exploitation of intellectual property that we develop and own, nor will we allow misappropriation and infringement to go unaddressed.”
"ZeniMax and id Software take their intellectual property rights seriously," said P. Anthony Sammi, a Partner of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP which represents ZeniMax and id in this matter. "We now look to the federal courts and will pursue all appropriate measures available under the law to rectify defendants’ egregious conduct," he added.
A copy of the filed lawsuit - PDF
这个月早些时候，John Carmack的前雇主，id公司的母公司ZeniMax给Oculus发出了一份正式的声明，声称Oculus VR头盔的技术是基于John Carmack在Zenimax任职期间开发的技术。ZeniMax声称只有依靠这些技术的帮助，Oculus的创始人Palmer Luckey才得以把他土制的产品转变为现实，所以ZeniMax要求赔偿。今天，公司正式提出了诉讼。
据报道，这次的诉讼指责Oculus VR和公司的创始人Palmer Luckey非法获得ZeniMax关于虚拟现实技术的商业机密，并且侵害了ZeniMax的商标权和版权。ZeniMax同时还提出了破坏合同，不公获利和不公竞争的指控。
指控书指出，在2012年Carmack开始同Luckey有了接触之后不久后，Carmack和其他ZeniMax的雇员让Luckey的粗糙试做型有了脱胎换骨的转变。指控书指出，“ZeniMax的劳动成果体现在VR技术上的巨大技术领先优势中。”
指控书指出：“在2012年间，Oculus和Luckey缺少必须的专业和技术知识来制作一款可行的VR头盔。在E3后的几个月内，Oculus和Luckey从ZeniMax处获得了技术和知识。如果没有这些技术和知识，Oculus Rift就不会成为一款可行的设备。”
ZeniMax指出他们是在尝试了和平解决事件不成后才提出的诉讼。ZeniMax的总裁Robert Altman表示：“知识产权是我们整个产业的基础。我们不能忽视这种非法获得知识产权的行为。”
这场诉讼肯定不会草草收场。当ZeniMax在本月初首次提出上述指控的时候，Oculus做出了全面地否认。公司当时回复称：“对于ZeniMax的指控我们很失望，也不奇怪，我们将证明所有这些指控都是不真是的。”，随后列举了一系列Carmack并没有从ZeniMax处获得知识产权的证据等。

Oculus acquires company that designed Xbox 360 controller
Oculus Agrees to Acquire Carbon Design Team
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve agreed to acquire the Carbon Design team, one of the premier industrial design and product engineering teams in the country, with over 50 awards to their name. As part of the deal, the team will officially become a key component of the product engineering group at Oculus, operating from the Carbon studio in the Seattle area. They’ll also be working closely with the Oculus R&D team based out of Redmond. We expect the deal to close by the end of summer.
The Carbon team brings their expertise around building great feeling, great looking consumer products like the Xbox 360 controller. We’ve been working with Carbon for nearly a year on multiple unannounced projects.
“A few seconds with the latest Oculus prototypes and you know that virtual reality is for real this time. From a design and engineering perspective, building the products that finally deliver consumer virtual reality is one of the most interesting and challenging problem sets ever.
This is an entirely open product category. With consumer VR at its inception, the physical architectures are still unknown — We’re on the cutting edge of defining how virtual reality looks, feels, and functions.
We’re incredibly excited to be part of the team and we’re looking forward to helping design the future.”
- Peter Bristol, Creative Director at Carbon Design
As a company, Carbon Design has a 20 year history of taking consumer, industrial and medical products from concept to completion. Carbon approaches products with a design-driven methodology rooted in quality engineering, ergonomics, deep user insights, and rapid iteration. All of this adds up to an incredible skill set to deliver ground-breaking new virtual reality products.

New Oculus Rift 'Crescent Bay' prototype packs integrated audio and 360° tracking
Oculus公开VR设备最新产品Crescent Bay原型
Oculus日前公布了虚拟现实头戴设备Oculus Rift的升级版原型品Crescent Bay（新月湾），新款VR设备配备了更高分辨率的显示屏，内置音频，并且加入了360度跟踪技术。
新设备还未准备好面向消费者销售。不过Oculus的CEO布伦丹·艾瑞比(Brendan Iribe)表示：“这不是一款消费者产品，但已经十分十分接近。”他还称，Crescent Bay还要比公司最新提供给开发者的Oculus Rift更轻。
Crescent Bay相比于之前的产品还有更多实际性的进化：
· 更高的刷新率
· 更高的分辨率(应该高于1080p)
· 更高的可视范围角度
· 内置音效
· 360°跟踪
· 真实空间的3D 跟踪音效
Crescent Bay Prototype
We’re really excited to introduce a new feature prototype, Crescent Bay.
Crescent Bay is the latest prototype headset on the path to the consumer version of the Rift. Crescent Bay features new display technology, 360° head tracking, expanded positional tracking volume, dramatically improved weight and ergonomics, and high-quality integrated audio.
These enhancements allow for a level of presence that’s impossible to achieve with DK2. If you’re here at Oculus Connect, you’ll be able to try Crescent Bay today.
Along with the new hardware, we’ve created original demo content, which we’re calling the “Crescent Bay Experiences,” developed in-house by our content team specifically for Oculus Connect.
The demo is designed to demonstrate the power of presence and give you a glimpse into the level of VR experience you can expect to see come to life in gaming, film, and beyond.
This is still incredibly early hardware. There are plenty of technical challenges left to solve for the consumer Rift, but Crescent Bay is truly the best virtual reality headsets we’ve ever built.

VR 虚拟现实装置 HTC Re Vive 开发者版本开箱与介绍影片
HTC Re Vive 是 HTC 与 Valve SteamVR 合作推出的 VR 虚拟现实装置，开发可以在今年夏天收到开发版本，而正式的消费者版本预计将会在今年底开卖。
HTC Re Vive 与其他虚拟现实装置不同在于，不只是单单头部的动作，也可以在空间中移动，如果快超过移动范围系统会出现提示，依靠两个像是盒子的 Lighthouse 可以更正确的判断头部的转动，大大的改善了判断准确度以及延迟造成的双眼不适应或是晕眩。 （依照国外媒体说是目前已知道 VR 第一个做到的）。
Lighthouse 这两个黑盒子除了能追踪 VR 设备之外，htc 与 Valve 也在之前说过，它能让想运用的硬件商或是软件商去免费授权这技术，运用在电视、智能手机等等装置上。
目前已知的规格: 双眼 2400x1080、90Hz、陀螺仪传感与加速装置、精准度误差 0.1 度、雷射追踪、4.5m x 4.5m 可移动范围。
而前几天 Valve 已经将第一批开发者版本送到独立制作、3A大厂、各电影公司手中，让他们先行开发产品。 来看看其中两个收到商品的开箱影片。
* 可以看到线材配件不少，但这是目前已知 VR 头戴显示器都会有的共同点。
RedofPaw （它也有一个 VR 项目在开发中，大家可以看看游戏影片）

New Project Morpheus Technical Demo ~ Cyber Danganropa VR: Class Trial
《枪弹辩驳》Project Morpheus 虚拟现实展示香港动漫电玩节首度曝光
完整报导- http://gnn.gamer.com.tw/9/118349.html
在这次香港动漫电玩节 PlayStation 摊位上，香港索尼计算机娱乐（SCEH）与 Spike Chunsoft 合作首度公开了以人气言弹动作游戏《枪弹辩驳 希望学园与绝望高中生》为题材所制作的 Project Morpheus 虚拟现实（VR）体验《枪弹辩驳 希望学园与绝望高中生 VR》供媒体抢先试玩，会后制作人寺泽善德并接受媒体访问，分享此一 VR 体验的制作理念。
在这款 VR 体验中，撷取了超高中级格斗家大神樱惨遭杀害后的学级审判辩论的部份内容加以虚拟现实化而成。 戴上 Project Morpheus 头戴 VR 显示器后，玩家彷佛真正进入学级审判的法庭，所以的场景与角色都改以全 3D 来呈现，而不是原本的 2.5D，动作演出上更生动灵活。
进入体验后，一开始首先是由校长黑白熊解说游戏的玩法。 虽然是第一次公开，不过内容已经完全中文化，即使不懂日文也可以透过中文字幕来了解其中的意思。 游戏的视点完全自由化，不再像先前 PSP / PS Vita 版那样是由系统来控制，玩家可以直接转动头部来注视自己关注的角色或是言论。 操作部分则是透过 DS4 控制器的动态感测与光学定位来控制光标进行瞄准，按下 R2 钮就可以发射言弹攻击。
体验中所有的对象都改以 3D 呈现，包括角色、场景乃至于言词辩论时的文字，因此在辩论时的紧张感更为强烈，参与辩论的角色甚至会跳入场中踩扁或砸碎其他人的言论，不单单只是展示了 VR 的可能性，也透露出后续新作（3 代？ ）所可能采用的呈现手法。
因为只是展示 VR 可能性的体验，因此内容相当短，学级审判的部分很快就告一段。 紧接着登场的是《枪弹辩驳》世界观中不可或缺的「处刑」体验。 在这段体验中，玩家所扮演的主角被绑在台车的椅子上，身处于一间四面都是水泥墙的房间，突然黑白熊驾驶怪手破墙而入直逼主角，一阵轰然作响后整间房间被拆得一乾二净，巨大的机械黑白熊从远方逐渐逼近，场景开始移动与变形，进入一个充满机械与齿轮、宛如工厂的场所，前方则是持续运转的重压粉碎机，无法逃脱的主角只能眼睁睁看着台车一步步朝向死亡机关前进 ，在粉碎机落下后眼前一片黑暗，体验到此结束。
因为改采 3D VR 来呈现，因此整段处刑体验的 “体感” 相较于先前的 PSP / PS Vita 游戏来说有天壤之别。 虽然整个过程中完全没有玩家可以介入操作的部分，不过仍可以自由转头四处观望。 当怪手、巨大黑白熊乃至于重压粉碎机逼近时，都可以深刻感受到彷佛陷入游戏世界中、面对巨大危机威胁的感觉。 制作人寺泽善德在后续访问时表示，这段体验主要想传达的是恐怖的感觉，不过他也笑着说因为黑白熊形象太滑稽，所以多少减轻了整体的恐惧感。

2015PlayStation中国发布会 吉田修平群访内容
SCE全球工作室总裁吉田修平的到来，让本次2015 PlayStation中国发布会提升了规格，也让中国媒体和玩家可以近距离的观看Project Morpheus并在CJ上试玩。在本次发布会之后，媒体们也对吉田修平进行了群访，下面将采访内容带来。
记者：Project Morpheus在中国展示，对于我们的消费者而言什么时候拿到机器，在中国有没有开发的计划和具体上市的时间?
吉田：关于Project Morpheus中国开发方面的信息。有很多中国游戏开发商已经在PlayStation平台上开发各种游戏，为Morpheus开发游戏和为PlayStation开发游戏是一样的申请方式，对于有兴趣在Morpheus上开发游戏的开发商我们是非常开放的心态，会提供必要的技术支持给到他们。关于产品上市计划，我们之前公布过，将于2016年的上半年在全球发布这个产品，但是具体的上市的地区和上市的具体的时间我们现在还没有公开。
记者：开发这种虚拟现实游戏可以把现在的游戏改造一下做一个VR版还是必须重新开发，这种VR的虚拟现实的游戏开发成本会比一款同样的游戏普通的游戏高出多少?
吉田：首先关于Project Morpheus的游戏开发上面，游戏开发者拥有PlayStation开发经验的团队能够比较容易上手Project Morpheus的开发，特别是具有3D游戏开发经验。但是它有一些技术的基本要求，考虑到虚拟现实人物融入的这个环境里面，所以要达到60fps的帧率，这样呈现出来的120fps才可以达到一个非常流畅的虚拟现实体验。
关于游戏开发方面的话，我们鼓励游戏开发商尝试各种各样的类型的游戏开发。当然，有一些类型是比较适合虚拟现实的游戏，Morpheus不像电视游戏一样是看着电视屏幕进行游戏，而是人本身就进入到这个游戏之中去，所以比如说像赛车类的游戏，因为人是在一个赛道上一直往前跑的方式，所以会更容易的实现虚拟现实的这种体验。同时我们也发现一些现在的一些游戏，通过Morpheus可以产生一种类似于上帝视角这样的观赏方式，可以从更高的角度看到整个游戏的画面，这也是一种有趣的应用和开发的经验。
从开发成本角度来看，现在很多3A游戏的开发需要大量的人力物力，包括画面设计都是非常高的水准。Morpheus由于人是沉浸在游戏当中的，对于环境、画面等要求不一定像其他的3A游戏那么高。在将来，虚拟现实游戏开发的成本可能还会更低于一般的PlayStation游戏。
记者：想问一下在您预期到明年Morpheus上市的时候，大概会有多少款游戏，大概是一个什么样的量级?
吉田：我们现在还没有具体的信息，有什么样的游戏或是多少款的游戏介绍给大家，我们现在甚至还没有决定我们具体哪天上市这款产品。
在准备美国E3游戏展的时候，由于我是全球负责第一方游戏工作室负责人，我比较了解第一方的游戏进度。在展示中，有一个Morpheus的对战游戏Rigs，还有伦敦工作室开发的游戏，以及日本工作室开发的一个游戏。我们也非常欢迎第三方的独立工作室和开发商开发游戏，例如有一款足球类型的游戏，这款游戏里面有一个球门，玩家看到有足球扔出来，然后要用头将球顶入球门，这是比较短的时间里面开发出来的很有意思的游戏。现在我们还不太清楚首发会有哪些游戏上市，但是我们会鼓励小型的开发商，包括中国和亚洲的游戏开发商能够积极的参与到我们这个平台，为我们的平台开发游戏。
另外还有很多的游戏开发商在Oculus Rift虚拟设备上通过一些开发引擎也在开发一些游戏，其实从这个平台上有PC游戏开发经验的公司很容易就可以把游戏转换到Project Morpheus的平台上，我们可以看到最短两天的时间就可以直接转化到Project Morpheus的上面，当然还有需要精细优化方面的工作，很多虚拟游戏都可以非常容易的转换到Project Morpheus平台，因为PlayStation平台跟PC平台是共通的架构。
记者：虚拟设计的设备是独立的产品线还是跟我们的游戏主机有一个版本的更迭?
吉田：有人觉得Project Morpheus会不会只是PS4的一个外设，从我们的角度来讲，Project Morpheus是一个全新的虚拟现实的系统，这个系统使用了PS4作为它的一个部分，可以说Project Morpheus是包括PS4这样的一个完整的系统，我们也有完整的开发体系，保证基础的操作系统，包括开发工具等等方面的配备。通过PS4可以实现Project Morpheus虚拟世界120FPS的流程表现。关于未来方面的计划，Project Morpheus是这个产品的第一代，在未来这个技术发展每天都在不断的更新，我们在努力的工作争取尽快把Project Morpheus带给大家。同时我们的研发团队也在进行多种多样的测试和开发，充分发掘未来Project Morpheus在其他方面的潜力。
记者：因为现在Morpheus这个设备在中国很受关注，但一个是入门门槛比较高，售价还有中国玩家习惯方面门槛比较高，还有一个大家不太清楚Morpheus本身在游戏储备方面会做一个什么样的准备?所以我想问一下这两个方面的问题。
吉田：首先我们还没有发布Project Morpheus墨菲斯的价格。当然，如果用户想完整的体验Project Morpheus就必须有PS4、PS Camera，而且还要有头戴部分的Project Morpheus设备。另一个角度来看，用户对产品价值的判断与产品体验有直接的关系。Project Morpheus提供给用户一个全新的体验。从游戏进化的角度来看，过去20多年来，游戏领域发生很多变化，例如3D、网络等等新的游戏技术活方式。
但是，从整体来看，基本上玩家都是通过电视或是屏幕进行游戏，玩家和游戏是分开的两个场景。Project Morpheus第一次使玩家真正融入到游戏当中，让他进入游戏的世界里面，这种带来的刺激和这种非常令人振奋的体验是以前任何的游戏产品没有办法提供给大家的。所以从这个角度来看的话，对于用户来说，他会认为我们的产品其实是值得有这样的前所未有的体验。从Project Morpheus第一期的目标用户群体来看的话，我们会针对已经拥有PS4的用户，因为他们有了PS4这个最基础的设备，只需要购买头戴设备的部分就可以了。
另外一个问题是关于未来将有哪些游戏可能在Project Morpheus上出现。我们在GDC上展示的游戏，大多数Demo的内容是适合所有的人群游玩的游戏。各种不同用户都可以轻松的享受这些内容。在今年E3，除了面向大众的游戏之外，也出现了面向核心游戏玩家的游戏类型，比如说《RIGS》它是三对三机器人对战的游戏，有些象是e-sports。玩家在对战过程中，要收集能量球，并在收集到一定程度后进入指定地点才可以得分，有些类似篮球游戏。通过网络的支持，这款游戏可以让玩家们进行对战，我相信有很多人可能会在这个游戏上花很长的时间来玩。当然，我们还在准备很多其他的游戏，我们没有对外公布，我们会在不久的将来跟大家介绍新的信息。
记者：因为中国大陆玩家对Morpheus比较生疏，索尼会给大陆玩家设一些体验店来让玩家来体验一下这个游戏吗?
吉田：您提到的这点非常重要，其实就像虚拟现实的这种全新的技术和体验，如果不真正自己去试一下，不自己体验的话不知道它到底是一个什么样的东西什么感觉。所以体验对于好的虚拟现实的这种技术和产品是非常非常重要的。我们其实也利用各种各样的游戏的展会或是技术的展会来展示我们的产品，让更多的人体验。在SCE全球各地的公司都在想办法在未来创造更多的接触点，让用户能够更多的接触到Morpheus，除了像游戏展会这样的场合之外，游戏展会的话人非常多也非常拥挤，可能不是非常舒适的一个体验的机会，我们也在考虑创造其他的方式。
记者：请问Morpheus有没有专门为VR游戏专门的设备，另外，现在这些公布的游戏里面，没有大家非常熟悉的Demo，以后会不会有这种非常有名的IP作为Morpheus的VR游戏来作为这样的一个平台。
吉田：我们Project Morpheus有三种输入方式。第一种就是头戴设备本来就有输入的功能，它可以记录头的运动轨迹，比如仅仅靠这个头戴设备也可以进行很好的输入和操作。例如一款足球游戏Head Master，玩家可以看到球被扔出来，需要自己控制头部顶球进门。另外一款游戏Summer Lesson，是完全通过头部的控制就可以来进行互动的，这个游戏里面的女生会向你问问题或其他互动，你可以通过点头或是摇头表达出确认或是不同意的方式。或者你关注她或是不关注她都可以影响到你跟游戏当中人物的感知和互动，这也是非常有意思的体验。
第二种输入方式就是DS4手柄，它前面有一个光条，在PS4上市之初有的用户会说为什么PS4手柄要设计这样的光条而且还可以变色。其实PS4与Project Morpheus几乎是同一时间开始研发的，我们在开发初期就考虑到DS4、PSMove、Project Morpheus、PlayStation camera等设备间的互动。只是那时候Morpheus并没有公布，因此我们没有太多解释光条的作用。通过DS4其实也可以体现类似PS Move的功能。此外，在Project Morpheus的虚拟世界中也可以模拟出真实世界的手柄，实现与真实世界一样的操控体验。
第三个控制的方法就是PS Move，如果有两个PS move，就可以让双手进入虚拟世界。例如拿枪换子弹等操作都可以非常自然的实现。
除了这三种输入和操控方法以外，我们也支持新的操控方式，比如说我们在E3上演示了一个游戏是《London Heist》，它使用的外设设备Sharp shooter是类似于枪一样的设备，这款游戏是一款FPS第一人称视角的射击游戏。在游戏中，玩家拿着这款外设就像拿着宇宙太空枪的样子，指到那个方向就可以向那里自由射击，这些新体验也是第三方开发商提出的非常有创意的想法。此外，也有可能通过吉他或者其他设备进行虚拟现实世界的操控，我们非常希望能够有不同的开发商开发出不同的游戏方式。
记者：《The PlayRoom》这个游戏要求一个玩家佩戴Morpheus，其余玩家使用手柄的不均等对抗类型。但今后会不会推出所有玩家都带着Project Morpheus，并进行在线联机对战的游戏。
吉田：这个问题涉及到Project Morpheus是怎么样使玩家能够联结在一起共同的游玩，其实通过网络服务，Project Morpheus完全支持玩家间互通互联的游戏，比如我们在E3展示的《RIGS》游戏是支持6个人玩，只要每个人都有一台PS4和一台Project Morpheus，我们可以设计各种各样的游戏来支持多人同时游戏或是多人对战的方式。在Morpheus最早的演示内容中包括一款叫做《The Castle》的内容，这个游戏中可以使用两个PS Move进行操控，玩家挥舞PS Move在虚拟世界中就会挥舞一把大剑进行战斗，这个游戏最初的设计就是一款双人游戏。
记者：目前我们看到的Demo都是为Project Morpheus量身定做的，有没有可能今后在一些传统的大作中抽出一个章节里面加上对Project Morpheus的支持，让玩家在传统手柄的基础上多一个操作方式可以选择呢?
吉田：关于这个问题，我们是可以支持现有的一些游戏重新转换到虚拟现实的平台上，去年E3的时候我们展出了一款游戏《Thief》，它就是一部分把原来的平台上转换到Project Morpheus平台上的体验，整个游戏的感受和体验通过Project Morpheus平台以后跟原来的游戏完全不一样。Project Morpheus平台支持游戏开发商通过这种方式展示游戏效果，同时也不需要非常高的成本去做这样的开发。
记者：在香港我们玩到了一个《弹丸论破》的Morpheus Demo，这款游戏基于一个文字游戏改编的Demo，我想问一下对于这样的游戏今后在Morpheus上产生什么样的可能性?
吉田：在香港您体验到的这款游戏，从我个人体验来讲的话，变成了这个游戏里面的角色，体验他的视角是非常有意思的。我觉得最惊喜的是看到这个黑白熊非常真实的在我眼前，甚至比《Summer Lesson》里面的少女还要真实，这个非常有意思。对于游戏开发商来说，他们希望玩家能融入他们创造的游戏世界里，因为他们花费了大量的时间来开发游戏。之前我谈到的《RIGS》的游戏也是这样的。
记者：之前制作人寺泽善德的时候他也说到这个Demo是他看过《Summer Lesson》做的，我们目前看到日本厂商看到的墨菲斯的游戏并不多，除了这些Demo游戏之外，还有没有其他的日本厂商正在制作Morphesu的Demo呢，如果有的话有多少款正在开发的Morpheus Demo?
吉田：日本的游戏开发商也在积极的开发Morpheus游戏，在E3展出的一款游戏《Kitchen》就是Capcom开发的一款恐怖游戏，还有像《初音未来》等，很多日本厂商也考虑各种各样的想法开发出Morpheus的游戏作品，今后这个数量也会越来越多。

【TGS 15】PlayStation VR《The PlayRoom VR》合家欢乐的虚拟现实互动玩法
日本亚洲索尼计算机娱乐（SCEJA）在这次东京电玩展展前媒体发表会上，正式公布开发代号「Project Morpheus（梦神计划）」的 PS4 虚拟现实装置将定名为「PlayStation VR」，并第二度在东京电玩展中公开试玩展示。 巴哈姆特 GNN 在台湾索尼计算机娱乐（SCET）的安排下，体验了数款初次在亚洲公开的展示，将透过一系列报导让玩家一窥究竟。
《The PlayRoom VR》
先前曾在 E3 展展出的《The PlayRoom VR》，是 SCE WWS 日本工作室的 Nicolas Doucet 领军制作的 VR 游戏合辑。 Doucet 先前曾任职于 EA、Eidos、SCE WWS 伦敦工作室，制作过 PS2 EyeToy 与 PS3 PlayStation Eye 的视讯体感与扩增实境游戏，在 PS4 上则是制作过免费下载的扩增实境（AR）互动游戏《The PlayRoom》。 这次的《The PlayRoom VR》就是以《The PlayRoom》的世界观与角色所制作的 VR 游戏。
《The PlayRoom VR》先前在 E3 展曾展出过《怪兽大逃亡（Monster Escape）》游戏，这次则是追加了《猫捉老鼠（Cat'n Mouse）》游戏。 最大的特色就是「双重画面多人同乐」的玩法，与其他以独乐乐为主的 VR 游戏不同，《The PlayRoom VR》可以藉由 PlayStation VR 配备的特殊处理单元，让头戴显示器与电视屏幕分别显示不同的画面，藉以达成非对称多人同乐的玩法。
左边屏幕是头戴显示器看到的画面，右边屏幕则是一般玩家看到的画面，两者不同
在刚进入游戏时，玩家是身处于一间热闹的游戏房，身边围绕着一群可爱的小机器人，当玩家的目光扫到他们时，他们会兴奋地与玩家打招呼。 稍远处有一堆玩具造景，许多小机器人会穿梭在玩具世界游玩。 玩具房还会有日夜变化，白天与晚上的感觉截然不同，充满着玩乐的气氛。 玩家可以在此选择想要游玩的项目。 制作人 Nicolas Doucet 在后续的访问中透露，目前展示中看到的这个玩具房，在最后的正式版游戏中会加入互动要素，内容也会增加，因此并不是一成不变的模样。
在《怪兽大逃亡》中，配戴 PlayStation VR 头戴显示器的玩家将扮演巨大的怪兽，使用 DS4 控制器的玩家（最少 1 人，最多 4 人）将扮演逃命的小机器人。 一开始的场面是怪兽在街道上一边大肆破坏一边追逐小机器人。 头戴显示器的怪兽玩家是第一人称视点，操作的方法很简单，就是摇头晃脑用头去撞倒建筑物。 电视屏幕的小机器人玩家则是第三人称视点，要拼命逃亡与闪躲。
怪兽玩家的视点
小机器人玩家的视点
当抵达终点的海边平台时，逃亡的小机器人突然变身成为特摄战队的战士，并将怪兽困在电磁栅栏中。 支持部队会搭乘直升机将物资空运到平台上，小机器人战士可以拾起这些东西砸向怪兽，目标是将怪兽砸到头晕眼花，再以强力的大炮将怪兽轰出地球。 怪兽玩家此时只能移动头部来闪躲不断飞来的对象（不时还有强力的火箭炮），等待平台崩坏。 如果被打晕，就只能等着被大炮轰到外层空间，还得看卫星转播小机器人战士耀武扬威的模样。
拿起东西狂砸被围困住的怪兽
在《猫捉老鼠》中，配戴 PlayStation VR 头戴显示器的玩家将扮演家猫，使用 DS4 控制器的玩家（最少 1 人，最多 4 人）将扮演老鼠。 因为是猫，所以家猫玩家的视点非常接近地面，跟一般习惯的人类视点有很大不同。 一开始家猫是藏身厨房一旁的储藏室帘幕之后，老鼠则是在厨房中打算偷吃奶酪，不过被家猫发现了，所以只好到处逃窜，躲藏到罐头、花椰菜、纸盒等东西里，等家猫回到帘幕后面再偷偷把奶酪吃掉。 简而言之就是「123 木头人」的规则。
家猫玩家的操作方式跟《怪兽大逃亡》一样简单，就只有伸头探出帘幕跟缩头回到帘幕而已。 老鼠则是在电视屏幕上以传统的第三人称动作玩法操作。 当家猫从帘幕后方探头出来的时候，只要盯到没有躲藏起来的老鼠，就可以把老鼠抓起来。 躲在帘幕后一样可以看到老鼠的剪影。
被家猫发现后一哄而散的老鼠
老鼠躲在罐头、纸盒、花椰菜里
家猫紧盯着目标，一有动静就可以把老鼠抓起来
虽然家猫可以一直保持探头的姿势让老鼠动弹不得， 但是探头太久的话会有家犬跑进厨房来捣乱，在被捣乱的这段时间内，家猫将无法动弹，只能任由老鼠肆虐。
讨厌的家犬会跑进来捣乱，还会把家猫舔得满脸是口水
不论是家猫或是老鼠的玩法都非常简单，但就如同小时候的记忆一般，当一群亲朋好友一起玩的时候，即使简单的规则与玩法，一样可以有丰富的乐趣。
Nicolas Doucet 在接受 GNN 编辑访问时表示，《The PlayRoom VR》是《The PlayRoom》团队担纲开发的最新作品，当初《The PlayRoom》是以发挥 PlayStation Camera 扩增实境玩法与社群互动性为主轴，而这次的《The PlayRoom VR》则是延续了社群互动性的基本概念， 融合虚拟现实技术来提供丰富的互动乐趣。
中间手持 DS4 控制器专注游玩的就是本作的制作人 Nicolas Doucet
对于独特的头戴显示器与电视屏幕双画面玩法，Nicolas Doucet 表示，这部分要归功于 SCE 技术开发团队的支持才得以实现，当 PS4 主机同时处理好两个画面之后，透过独特的格式传输到 PlayStation VR 的处理单元（介于 PS4 主机与 PlayStation VR 头戴显示器之间的一个盒子，负责处理 PlayStation VR 的输出入）， 分离成两个画面分别显示。 因为 VR 体验对画面处理的要求高，所以会优先满足 VR 头戴显示器的画面处理需求，再来考虑电视屏幕的。 目前两边都能以 720p 的分辨率流畅运作。
Nicolas Doucet 进一步确认《The PlayRoom VR》将会以套装游戏软件的形式推出，除了目前展出的这两个游戏之外，目前还有 3 个游戏正在开发，预计上市时应该会收录 6～7 个游戏。 其中除了这两个游戏的对抗玩法之外，其实也有携手合作解谜的玩法。 虽然没有单人专属的游戏，不过有些游戏最后可能可以单人游玩。 当然制作团队是希望尽可能大家一起玩，会比较有趣。
最后谈到对虚拟现实的展望时，Nicolas Doucet 强调，VR 想要获得成功，就一定要够 “好”，一个糟糕的 VR 体验可能会让经历过的玩家从此对 VR 留下不好的印象而拒绝接受。 如果 VR 最后能获得成功的话，能带来的变革将不亚于当年初代 PlayStation 带动的 3D 多边形革命，像是赛车游戏能转个方向看到不同角度的景物，这是 2D 点阵绘图世代所无法想象的。 他认为 VR 具备同等的潜力，让玩家可以从制作者所设定的束缚中解放，由自己来决定自己想要看到什么。

Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality Announced for VR Platforms
Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality Edition is coming to VR
Imagine standing in the medbay of a starship, trying to save a dying alien with nary a clue regarding their inner anatomy. Instruments float above your head in Zero G as you desperately try to remove an unpronounceable but surely deadly organ from the alien’s open torso.
Closer to Earth - you’re leaning over a hapless (but familiar?) patient in dire need of a new set of lungs, with a plummeting heart rate, and an operating table full of implements you’d hoped never to have to pick up for yourself!
Let’s get even closer to home - to you. You look down and see a pair of hands. As you move, wave and grasp the air they feel like you’re own. These are the hands of Nigel Burke, a would-be surgeon - your very own hands. Turning your head you see the operating theatre, look up and see the blinding hospital lights - dead ahead lies Bob, the patient waiting for your help!
With the ability of new VR technology to pull you into a virtual world, you’ve been transported to a new reality - a hospital in the English county of Barnardshire, to outer space, to the darkly humorous world of Surgeon Simulator - in VR.
Surgeon Simulator has sold almost 2.5 million copies globally and become a firm favourite with the YouTube crowd (with millions of Let’s Play videos created). The classic over-the-top operation sim game been reimagined to allow players the intimacy and immersiveness of VR and transformed into ‘Surgeon Simulator ER (Experience Reality)’.
Making players feel present and inhabiting the character of Nigel Burke has required a rethink of the original Surgeon Simulator concept. The tactile nature of accurately mapped VR controls has also meant that the game’s core physics based gameplay needs new game systems to preserve the difficult, comedy prone elements fans know and love.
As such ‘Surgeon Simulator - ER’ will offer the surgeries, humour and achievements of the original but with a focus on the unique qualities of VR.
The game will be available on numerous VR platforms in the coming future.

Oculus Announces 'Oculus Ready' PC Partnership, Guaranteeing VR PCs under $1,000
Oculus announces “Oculus Ready,” certified PCs for VR
In order to use PC VR you’re going to need a PC to power it, and Oculus is looking to make that much easier by joining with a number of key hardware partners to bring “Oculus Ready” PCs to the market.
Starting at price points under $1000, NVIDIA, ASUS, Alienware, Dell, AMD, and Intel will all be releasing hardware in the next year that will feature an Oculus Ready sticker, indicating that the hardware is ready for VR.
“Our goal with the recommended specs is that everything just works,” said Nat Mitchell Oculus’ head of product.
This represents a big step towards bringing VR to consumers. The fact remains that the recommended specs, which include a GTX 970, will require a number of consumers to upgrade their PCs. By labeling and pre-designing kits that are made to work with VR out of the box they fully optimize the experience for consumers looking to transition into the new medium.
Mitchell mentioned on stage that the company would be announcing more partnerships over the course of the next year.
It is interesting to note that earlier this year Brendan Iribe said the whole experience would cost, “about $1500,” a price which almost assuredly included the PC. Extrapolating from that a bit it seems likely that we will see a price point for the Rift that is somewhat similar to what we saw with the development kits. Oculus has yet to make any official announcements on the price, so this remains speculative.

Robinson: The Journey Announced for PlayStation VR from Crytek
Hey everyone, Elijah from Crytek, here. I’m lucky enough to be working as Executive Producer on Robinson: The Journey, and wanted to share a little more info on the project with you.
In Robinson, you assume the role of a young boy who has crash-landed on a mysterious planet, and must become a pioneer of sorts as you explore your surroundings, interact with the world around you, and discover amazing secrets at every turn. I can’t go into too many specifics right now, but that’s the (very) high level overview!
As a studio, we’re really excited to be creating Robinson for PlayStation VR, and believe it’s the perfect platform for what we’re striving to achieve with the game. But what exactly are we striving to achieve? Good question.
Probably the best place to start is with a couple of VR demos we’ve shown at industry events this year. Back to Dinosaur Island 1 and 2 offered different types of VR experiences, but both acted as inspiration for Robinson. The first of those demos placed players in a more static role as a giant dinosaur stared them down at close quarters, and the follow-up featured greater interactivity as users scaled a cliff and took in their expansive surroundings.
Probably the most inspirational aspect of these demos for us was the reaction they received! A lot of players and press highlighted them as being among the best VR experiences they’d had, which felt like validation of the track we were on.
That track was — and still is — to create the most realistic, immersive worlds possible using our CryEngine technology. Crytek is in a relatively rare position as a developer of both games and a game engine. We’ve found that to be a major asset as we work on Robinson, because our efforts to be at the forefront of gaming tech over the years have led us to develop CryEngine features that are proving to be really powerful for creating VR games.
A lot of the reaction we received to the Back to Dinosaur Island demos was about how authentic the environments felt — the foliage, the lighting, the dinos, etc. People really seemed to respond positively to the level of visual fidelity, and we do believe that this can set a VR experience out from the crowd and take the feeling of being present to a whole new level.
So, to return to my own question, what are we striving to achieve with Robinson: The Journey? You could say it’s about recreating that level of authenticity on a much, much grander scale. That means not just making something visually stunning, but also telling a story that is emotionally engaging and which resonates with players beyond the game world.
It’s a bold ambition, we know. But just as PlayStation VR will invite players to enjoy gaming in an entirely new way, I think it should also inspire us as developers to create ambitious experiences worthy of this amazing new technology.

Distance Announced for PlayStation VR
Distance Brings Survival Racing to PlayStation VR
Hi there! I’m Jordan, one of the developers at Refract. Last year I announced that our survival racer Distance is coming to PS4. Since then we’ve been working hard to add things like random track generation, new story mode content, improved car customization, improved multiplayer features, and we spent some time optimizing so that Distance runs as smoothly as possible.
Today, I can finally announce that we’ve also been working hard to bring Distance to PlayStation VR! This weekend we’ll be showcasing a playable version for the first time at PlayStation Experience in San Francisco!
If you’ve never seen Distance before, it’s a survival racing game. Distance takes the intense action of arcade racing and places it in a mysterious, atmospheric world. The road is deadly with treacherous obstacles around every corner. Instead of doing laps on a loop, you’ll be trying to survive from point A to B.
You pilot a unique car that allows you to boost, jump, rotate, and even fly. Instead of being constrained to the track, you can break away at any point and find your own path. You can even drive upside down or on buildings and walls.
Virtual reality amplifies this by adding another dimension. You can now race through these chaotic tracks from the seat of the driver. PlayStation VR gives you an amazing sense of scale as you’re able to look into turns or glance over at other players in multiplayer. Once we started prototyping VR gameplay in Distance it was undeniable that getting a true feel for the jumps, flips, and flying is exhilarating.
From a story-telling aspect, VR is thrilling since we can explore the game from the perspective of the driver, and who (or what) that is. We’ve redesigned our UI to work with a cockpit dash, and we added an “upside-down” moonroof to help when landing. Getting sliced by a laser is also (not surprisingly) even more exciting.
We can’t wait to unleash Distance on PS4 in 2016. If you’ll be at PlayStation Experience be sure to drop by booth #2172! We’d love to have you be one of the first to try Distance on PlayStation VR. Feel free to toss out any questions in the comments!

Classroom Aquatic Announced for PlayStation VR
Classroom Aquatic Brings Cheating and Dolphins to PlayStation VR
Hey there, my name is Remy Karns, and I want to tell you about Classroom Aquatic, a new game that my team and I here at Sunken Places are developing for Playstation VR. If you haven’t heard of Classroom Aquatic, then this blog post should be the perfect way to dive into our game, and long time fans can keep up with all of the exciting new things we’re adding.
In Classroom Aquatic, you’re a foreign exchange diver student spending a semester abroad in a school for dolphins. There, you’ll be given a series of tests that you’re in no way prepared for. The only way to pass is to cheat — avoid being caught by the teachers, don’t let your fellow students tattle on you, and cheat your way to the top of the class!
The good news is, we all know how to cheat: just look over at your neighbors’ tests and copy their answers. Don’t worry — dolphins are very smart — they always know the right answers. But they also know when you’re trying to cheat, and the more obvious you are, the harder they’ll try to hide their answers. And if you get them too angry, they’ll tattle to the teacher!
Teachers, of course, don’t take kindly to cheating. Each teacher has a unique way of proctoring the class. For example, Professor Porpoise, the history and dolphinities teacher, patrols the class to prevent anyone peeking at any other pupil’s papers, while Doctor Delphinidae, the Science and Mathematics teacher, surveys the class from her desk, and the Career Counsellor directs his student aids to administer each question one at a time.
As you progress through the campaign, the teachers employ more and more drastic means to catch the cheaters. They’ll start with desk dividers and rearranging the classroom. Get past those and they’ll resort to more desperate, and creative measures — Professor Porpoise will enact rigid, arcane rules from his university days. Doctor Delphinidae invents elaborate contraptions to make cheating harder, and the Career Counsellor will appeal to the other students to turn you in. You’ll even have to compete with a dolphin student who wants to out-cheat you!
Classroom Aquatic has been designed to be a true VR game: rather than a port of a single screen game or a translation of an existing genre, its mechanics, goals, and gameplay have all been tailored to be played on VR head-mounted displays. We think Playstation VR will be the ideal platform for us, as it’s a VR device specifically made for games.
That’s all for now! I’ll try to read all your comments and answer all your questions (and if I can’t answer any I’ll just have to cheat). It’s always great to get feedback, and now’s the time, while we’re still in development. Until then, remember to never ascend faster than your smallest bubble when diving: it’s polite to let bubbles go ahead of you!

[youtube]6hqUx2SOTAQ[/youtube]
Adrenaline and adventure collide in Crytek’s Oculus Rift Title, “The Climb”
Feel the unrivaled adrenaline rush of free solo rock climbing and encounter the majesty of nature like never before in The Climb – a new virtual reality game from Crytek – coming exclusively to Oculus.
The Climb invites thrill-seekers to experience the ultimate in extreme sports by going beyond the point of no return and scaling deadly cliff faces unaided. The game boasts hyper-realistic climbing locations from around the world, and players will discover the freedom of gaming with the Rift using either an Xbox One controller or Oculus Touch controllers as they soak up their awe-inspiring surroundings.
Oculus Head of Worldwide Studios, Jason Rubin said: “Crytek is renowned for leveraging their CryEengine tech to create beautiful, immersive games. Their early VR demos really captured public imagination, and to see their ideas come to life with Rift is incredible and not to be missed. The Climb is a beautiful combination of art and thrill that’s bringing an entirely new level of adventure gaming to Rift.”
Also commenting on the collaboration, Founder, CEO & President of Crytek, Cevat Yerli, said: “Gaming has always given us the opportunity to place ourselves in otherwise impossible scenarios, and VR technology such as the Rift makes us feel present in those scenarios like never before. The Climb invites players to experience the intensity of one of the world’s most dangerous sports, and they’ll truly feel the thrill of being thousands of meters above the ground with nothing but their skill and a few precarious handholds to rely on.”

Lucky's Tale to be included free with retail Oculus Rift
[youtube]jqEm1fXBWKg[/youtube]
Lucky’s Tale to be Bundled with Every Oculus Rift
Today, we’re excited to announce that Lucky’s Tale, the incredible made-for-VR platformer by Playful, will be included free with every Oculus Rift!
Lucky’s Tale, an Oculus Studios title, takes you on an adventure of a lifetime with Lucky, the fun-loving fox. The game takes you to a charming new world, with dozens of locales and lush environments.
Even in the earliest demos, Wired Magazine described the level of presence and immersion as ‘staggering.’ PC Gamer called it ‘a defining use’ of VR tech. We couldn’t agree more, which is why we’re thrilled to bundle it with Rift.
Palmer has often said that Lucky’s Tale was one of the defining experiences in VR for him.
“We always believed there was an opportunity for platformers in VR, but it wasn’t until playing Lucky’s Tale and working with the Playful team that we truly realized its potential to change how people view this genre of gaming forever. Lucky’s Tale delivers on everything you want in a next-generation VR game - it’s thrilling, full of adventure, and incredibly fun to play.” - Palmer Luckey
Playful is a true VR pioneer. Paul Bettner, the founder and CEO, was one of the original $5,000 backers of the Oculus Rift Kickstarter, which included a visit to Oculus HQ. It was clear from the beginning that he and the Playful team saw the potential of VR — they created dozens of game prototypes for Rift over the last three years. Their passion for creating fun, awe-inspiring VR games shows in one of the most unique experiences that will launch on Rift next year.
We can’t wait for you to experience Lucky’s Tale, coming exclusively to Oculus in Q1.
Stay tuned for more exciting news in the new year!

CES展特报 HTC VR装置推出第二代开发者版本Vive Pre，更美观、更舒适!
作者：狠心先生│巴哈姆特
在美国CES开展前夕，HTC释放了VR装置Vive的最新消息!目前Vive推出了第二代的开发者版本(表示这不会是市售版本，最终上市时不会是现在的模样)
HTV Vive Pre新增了许多的功能，硬件上也有所改良，首先增加了Mura Correction这项技术，让Vive的画面更加的清晰、明亮!
硬件上则增加了前镜头，在游玩Vive时，若是口渴了，或是想要看一下现实环境的变化，玩家不必拿下Vive，使用前镜头便能看到现实画面，让虚拟现实与现实画面轻松融合!
Pre版听了一开始的Vive开发者的回馈后，在手把上有了改良的设计!在手把上完全翻新，更加的符合人体工学。 有着圆滑边缘、绝佳平衡以及全新质感的按钮，除此之外还有之前的版本中所没有的两段式扳机按键，而震动的设计更是让游戏有回馈的感受。
手把为USB充电孔，电池是锂电池。 充电完后一次可使用四小时。
Pre版在外形上设计的更加的平衡，同时为了不同脸型的用户做了调整。 全新的束带设计，提供了更稳定、平衡且舒适的感受。 Pre版还能更换内部的海绵，并且加入了鼻垫，让Vive更能贴近鼻型，同时Vive也让戴眼镜的用户能够戴着眼镜轻松使用。
HTC也表示今年2月开始开放预购，4月正式发售，售价则尚未公布。
HTC同时也很有自信的表示使用Vive不会头晕，VR装置会头晕是因为高延迟率及低更新率造成的，Vive会提供每秒最低90FPS，不会造成头晕的现象。
而此次公开的Vive Pre仅是开发者二代版本，外型会与上市版有落差。

Oculus Rift price set at $599 / ￡499, pre-orders now live
虚拟现实头戴显示器「Oculus Rift」今日开放预购开跑、公布售价 台湾名列首批可预购国家
虚拟现实技术研发公司 Oculus VR 今日凌晨正式在旗下官网开放虚拟现实头戴显示器「Oculus Rift」预购，售价 599 美元（约新台币 20070 元，此价格不含运费与税），首批预购预定 3 月 28 日起开始出货，将可出货到包含台湾、日本、美国、英国、波兰、荷兰等 20 个国家。
此次预购「Oculus Rift」内容包括耳机与麦克风、传感器、Xbox One 控制器与 Oculus 遥控器。
至于之前公开、造型独特的控制器「Oculus Touch」目前预定于 2016 年下半年推出。
另外，Oculus VR 也公布了支持「Oculus Rift」的建议计算机硬件规格，包括显示适配器 NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD R9 290 同等级或以上、中央处理器 Intel i5-4590 同等级或以上、8GB 以上内存，支持 HDMI 1.3 版本输出，与 Windows 7 SP1 64 位版本或更新的操作系统等。
Oculus VR 表示，计划今年将会有超过 20 款游戏支持「Oculus Rift」，包括《RockBand VR（摇滚乐团 VR）》、《Edge of Nowhere》与《The Climb》等。
原本官网一开放预购时，出货时间为 3 月底，但如今玩家预购时发现官网已经写预估出货时间为 5 月，引发媒体猜测有可能是初期供货量有限，或是因预购热烈、必须依序出货。
Oculus Rift Pre-Orders Now Open, First Shipments March 28
We’re excited to announce that Rift is now available to pre-order for $599 USD on Oculus.com and it will ship to 20 countries starting March 28. People have been dreaming about immersive high-end VR for decades, and we’re thrilled to share Rift with you this March.
Rift will also be available in limited locations at select retailers starting in April.
What’s in the box?
Rift includes the headset with built-in headphones and mic, sensor, and an Xbox One controller. The controller is perfect for a variety of games, including Lucky’s Tale, the amazing VR platformer developed by Playful, that we’re including free with every Rift.
Rift also includes the Oculus Remote. The Oculus Remote is a new input device we designed to make it simple and intuitive to navigate VR experiences. With Remote, you can easily browse the Oculus store, explore 360 video content in Oculus Video, or experience a wide range of VR games and entertainment. It is the easiest way to introduce non-gamers to VR.

Compelling, made-for-VR content
All Rift pre-orders include access to EVE: Valkyrie through the Founder’s Pack, which will include exclusive in-game content, founder status in Valkyrie, and much more. Details about everything included in the EVE: Valkyrie Founder’s Pack will be revealed soon.

We’ve been working with some of the top developers in the industry to create incredible, new made for VR games and experiences. In 2016 alone, Oculus Studios will introduce more than 20 games that are coming exclusively to Oculus this year, including Rockband VR by Harmonix, Edge of Nowhere by Insomniac, and The Climb by Crytek. We’ll be announcing additional titles soon!
Is your PC Oculus Ready?
For the full Rift experience, we recommend the following PC system:
• Graphics card: NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD R9 290 equivalent or greater
• Processor: Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater
• Memory: 8GB+ RAM
• Output: Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output
• Input: 3x USB 3.0 ports plus 1x USB 2.0 port
• Operating system: Windows 7 SP1 64 bit or newer
You can also check whether your current PC meets our recommended specification right now with the new Oculus compatibility tool.
Oculus Ready PCs
If you need a new PC to power your Rift, Oculus Ready PCs will be certified to meet our recommended system specification and have been tested by Oculus to ensure they deliver a great experience with Rift.
Bundles that include an Oculus Ready PC and a Rift will be available for pre-order in February starting at $1499.
If you pre-order Rift today, you’ll be able to order an Oculus Ready PC at the special bundle price, and of course, your Rift ship date won’t change.
This is just the beginning. We can’t wait to share more about the incredible games and experiences coming to Rift this year. Touch will ship in the second half of the year and will unlock entirely new interactions that let people take their VR experiences further than ever before.
Thank you for being part of this landmark moment in VR. We’ll see you in Rift.

VR游戏《ADR1FT》的非VR版本将登陆PS4
VR游戏《ADR1FT》将随Oculus Rift在2016年3月28日发售，成为Oculus Rift的首发游戏之一（点此查看Oculus Rift预售情报）。同时，本作的非VR版将于同日登陆Steam，本作PS4版和Xbox One版也将随后发售。目前还不清楚本作之后是否会登上PS VR。
在这款游戏中，玩家将扮演一名宇航员，在一场事故过后，玩家将在狭窄破碎的空间站中艰难求生。本作和《皇牌空战7》都将发售VR和非VR双版本，这让小编我想到了另一个问题，如果一款游戏同时发售VR版和普通版两个版本，在售价相同的情况下各位会依据什么标准来进行版本的选择呢?欢迎在下方评论区参与讨论。

Palmer Luckey: "We don’t make money on the Rift"; Explains "$350 ballpark" quote
Palmer Luckey's AMA (ask me anything) over at Reddit
I handled the messaging poorly. Earlier last year, we started officially messaging that the Rift+Recommended spec PC would cost roughly $1500. That was around the time we committed to the path of prioritizing quality over cost, trying to make the best VR headset possible with current technology. Many outlets picked the story up as “Rift will cost $1500!”, which was honestly a good thing - the vast majority of consumers (and even gamers!) don’t have a PC anywhere close to the rec. spec, and many people were confused enough to think the Rift was a standalone device. For that vast majority of people, $1500 is the all-in cost of owning Rift. The biggest portion of their cost is the PC, not the Rift itself.
For gamers that already have high end GPUs, the equation is obviously different. In a September interview, during the Oculus Connect developer conference, I made the infamous “roughly in that $350 ballpark, but it will cost more than that” quote. As an explanation, not an excuse: during that time, many outlets were repeating the “Rift is $1500!” line, and I was frustrated by how many people thought that was the price of the headset itself. My answer was ill-prepared, and mentally, I was contrasting $349 with $1500, not our internal estimate that hovered close to $599 - that is why I said it was in roughly the same ballpark. Later on, I tried to get across that the Rift would cost more than many expected, in the past two weeks particularly. There are a lot of reasons we did not do a better job of prepping people who already have high end GPUs, legal, financial, competitive, and otherwise, but to be perfectly honest, our biggest failing was assuming we had been clear enough about setting expectations. Another problem is that people looked at the much less advanced technology in DK2 for $350 and assumed the consumer Rift would cost a similar amount, an assumption that myself (and Oculus) did not do a good job of fixing. I apologize.
To be perfectly clear, we don’t make money on the Rift. The Xbox controller costs us almost nothing to bundle, and people can easily resell it for profit. A lot of people wish we would sell a bundle without “useless extras” like high-end audio, a carrying case, the bundled games, etc, but those just don’t significantly impact the cost. The core technology in the Rift is the main driver - two built-for-VR OLED displays with very high refresh rate and pixel density, a very precise tracking system, mechanical adjustment systems that must be lightweight, durable, and precise, and cutting-edge optics that are more complex to manufacture than many high end DSLR lenses. It is expensive, but for the $599 you spend, you get a lot more than spending $599 on pretty much any other consumer electronics devices - phones that cost $599 cost a fraction of that to make, same with mid-range TVs that cost $599. There are a lot of mainstream devices in that price-range, so as you have said, our failing was in communication, not just price.

索尼计算机娱乐（SCE）出身的 Sony 集团执行长平井一夫，在美国拉斯韦加斯举办的全球最大消费性电子展「2016 国际消费电子展（CES 2016）」中接受英国广播公司（BBC）访问时，透露旗下公司 SCE 研发的 PS4 虚拟现实装置「PlayStation VR」目前已经上百款游戏正在开发中。
平井一夫表示，目前已经有超过 200 个开发团队登记参加 PlayStation VR 软件开发，有将近或是超过 100 款 PlayStation VR 作品正在开发中，具备充足且优秀的内容支持，目标是提供玩家更优异且更具沉浸感的游戏体验。 他同时也提到 PlayStation VR 在游戏以外的影音应用潜力。
PlayStation VR 是 SCE 研发的 PS4 专用虚拟现实装置，透过头戴式显示器让用户体验身历其境的虚拟现实乐趣。 采用 5.7 吋 1080p 分辨率的 OLED 显示面板，提供约 100 度的视角，支持最高 120Hz 的更新频率。 除了配戴者能观看到 3D 虚拟现实画面之外，还支持额外的「社交屏幕（Social Screen）」输出功能，能同步输出第 2 组画面到外接屏幕，提供非对称的游戏体验。
开启这波虚拟现实消费电子产品化热潮的 Oculus VR，已经于 1 月 7 日展开旗下虚拟现实装置「Oculus Rift」消费者版本的预购，预定 3 月 28 日开始出货，但 599 美元的未税价格较市场预期为高。 Sony 在这次 CES 中并未公布 PlayStation VR 的确切上市日期与价格，仍有待后续观察。

HTC Vive pre-orders to start on February 29
HTC will start taking pre-orders for Vive, its virtual reality headset, from February 29, its chief executive has confirmed.
Cher Wang told the Telegraph the company had chosen to refocus on virtual reality (VR) and away from smartphones, saying the company was now "more realistic".
“Yes, smartphones are important, but to create a natural extension to other connected devices like wearables and virtual reality is more important," she said.
Vive has been developed with game maker Valve, designed to fully immerse its wearer in their virtual environment while playing games. It will go on wider commercial sale in April, and will compete with Facebook-owned Oculus Rift and Sony's PlayStation VR as the technology finally enters the mainstream. Its price remains unknown.
“I think the problem was competition – Apple, Xiaomi, these companies spend tons of money on communications and marketing, they pump a huge amount of investment into the market. There are a lot of Chinese competitors.”
HTC showcased the second generation developer kit, Vive Pre, at CES in Las Vegas, a signifcant aesthetic departure from the first version which was launched with much fanfare at last year's Mobile World Congress.
The headset has been redesigned to rest more comfortably on the wearer's face, with a smaller cage and more stable head strap. HTC said the new design can be more easily adjusted to users' heads, and can still be worn comfortably by those who wear glasses.
It also contains an integrated front-facing camera, enabling you to see your physical surroundings while wearing the headset. This means you could sit down, eat and continue interacting with others without needing to remove it.

HTC 证实，与游戏厂商 Valve 合作虚拟现实头戴式装置「HTC Vive」市售版本预定 2 月 29 日开放预购，并将于 4 月正式发售。 目前尚未公开定价。
HTC 此次在国际消费性电子展（CES）展中公开了虚拟现实头戴式装置「Vive Pre」开发者版本。 HTC 董事长王雪红随后接受英国每日电讯报访问时提到，HTC 已经将其注意力开始从智能型手机领域转移到虚拟现实；她认为，智能型手机仍然是重要的，但为了连网装置如穿戴式设备的自然应用延伸，虚拟现实将会更加重要。
今年虚拟现实装置成为众所瞩目的焦点，由 Facebook 旗下子公司 Oculous VR 研发的 Oculus Rift 已经抢先展开预购、3 月底陆续出货，而 HTC 确定将于 2 月 29 日开放「HTC Vive」预购、4 月发售，Sony 旗下 Playstation VR 虽然尚未公开发售日期等相关消息，但官方表示为了此套装置已经有超过上百款游戏研发中。 至于三星则是结合自家手机推出新一代「Samsung Gear VR」来抢攻虚拟现实市场， 1 月 15 日将上市。

NASA is making a Mars Exploration experience for VR using Unreal Engine 4
The Division – Launch is Just the Beginning
NASA is already planning the first manned space landing on Mars in the 2030s. But thanks to Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4, anyone who owns a virtual reality headset will be able to explore the Red Planet in 2016.
NASA has teamed up with Fusion Media, MIT’s Space Systems Laboratory, and game developers from former studio Irrational Games to develop The Mars 2030 Experience for Oculus Rift, Google Cardboard, and Samsung Gear VR in 2016. The free cross-platform virtual reality experience will also expand to Sony PlayStation VR and HTC Vive, thanks to Unreal Engine 4.
Julian Reyes, virtual reality producer for Fusion, said Unreal Engine 4 has enabled the development team to start building this experience with the highest regard to visual fidelity.
Although more details will be announced during a panel at South by Southwest 2016, the virtual reality experience will bring to life a series of mini-missions that occur within the Mars habitat as well as on the planet’s surface. Players will be able to walk on the Red Planet as well as drive the Mars Rover.

GameStop CEO says they will launch PlayStation VR this fall
PS VR发售日恐遭泄露 将于今年秋天正式上市？
近日，知名电玩零售商Gamestop的CEO Paul Raines在接受媒体采访时不小心提到了PS VR的发售日。
Paul Raines在接受采访时被问到对于今后VR市场增长的看法，他提到，“虽然现在市场的容量还很难估计，但根据一些机构的说法，VR的份额在2025年将达到八千万美元，所以我们已经严阵以待，今年秋天我们就将发售索尼的Playstation VR。”
目前索尼官方和Gamestop都没有对这一上市日期做出回应，不过按照Gamestop的规模，这一发售日还是有一定的可信度的，因此Paul Raines很有可能当了猪队友。Playstation VR的售价和发售日一直是玩家们关注的焦点，但是索尼一直迟迟没有公布，很多人认为在三月的GDC可能会有相关消息放出。

Unveiling the Vive Consumer Edition and Pre-order Information
We are proud to announce, in partnership with Valve, the unveiling of the consumer edition of the ViveTM virtual reality system powered by Steam VR.
The countdown has begun and is ticking away toward 10 a.m. Eastern time on Monday 2/29 at which time pre-orders will open worldwide with pre-order fulfillment and full commercial availability starting early April 2016. Vive will be delivered as a complete kit allowing users to instantly jump into a fully immersive virtual environment using two wireless controllers, 360 degree tracking and room scale movement sensors. The integration of SteamVR into the bundle ensures that all Vive equipment is kept up-to-date with the latest features.
Taking Vive one step further, with refreshed branding and an updated head strap, the Vive consumer edition builds upon the innovative features that were introduced into the Vive Pre. The consumer edition of Vive also integrates phone functionality. Enabling you to stay connected to the real world, without exiting the virtual world, Vive Phone Services demonstrates the ability to combine both realities without losing touch of either. By allowing you to receive and respond to both incoming and missed calls, get text messages and send quick replies and check upcoming calendar invites directly through the headset, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities for both consumers and businesses.
The Vive will be priced at $799 and for a limited time the consumer edition will also ship with two fully-fledged VR experiences to get you started in the virtual world.
• Job Simulator, by Owlchemy Labs: In a firmly tongue-in-cheek world where robots have replaced all human jobs, step into the ‘Job Simulator’ to learn what it was like ‘to job’. (Trailer)
• Fantastic Contraption, by Northway Games in collaboration with Radial Games: Imagine walking around a grassy island floating in the sky, building a machine the size of a horse with your own hands, then watching it roll out into the world. (Trailer)
But it’s not just about gaming. In addition to these launch titles, HTC is working with developers to foster the creation of content that spans multiple sectors including entertainment, retail, education, design, healthcare and automotive that will ultimately transform people’s lives.
“From the beginning, Vive has been at the forefront of virtual reality, with HTC pioneering several ground breaking technologies,” comments Cher Wang, chairwoman and CEO, HTC. “Since announcing Vive this time last year, we have worked tirelessly with Valve to deliver the best VR experience on the market, winning multiple awards and receiving critical acclaim from media, consumers and the industry. With the Vive consumer edition we are now able to realize our ultimate vision; bringing Vive into homes around the globe so that people can experience immersive virtual reality in a away that fires the imagination and truly changes the world.”

VR Card Game Dragon Front Announced for Oculus Rift
[youtube]0uR4B1ZZWAw[/youtube]
Introducing Dragon Front: The First CCG for VR Coming to Rift
We’re very excited to announce Dragon Front, the first collectible card game (CCG) built for VR. Developed by High Voltage and produced by Oculus Studios, Dragon Front combines traditional high fantasy with a dieselpunk aesthetic for a one-of-a-kind experience.
In Dragon Front, players are pitted against each other based on skill level and watch their units come to life on the battlefield as they command the action. There’s also a champion system where each team can summon legendary boss units to the fight and turn the battle in their favor.
With competitive leaderboards, the stakes are high as players try to dominate their friends and others from around the world in virtual face offs.
Players can choose a faction with unique card attributes, gameplay mechanics, and strategies. With 280 characters, 80 different encampments, and more than 100 spells – Dragon Front is as deep as it is replayable.
The CCG genre is one of our favorites. Now the immersive nature of VR makes spells more magical, strikes more visceral, and victories more meaningful.
Look for Dragon Front later this year, only on Oculus.

扩增实境装置 Meta 2 开发者版本开放预购 售价约新台币 3 万元
继 HTC 虚拟现实（VR）头戴式装置 HTC Vive 与微软混合实境（Mixed Reality）装置「HoloLens」开发者版本开放预购后，另一个研发扩增实境（AR）头戴式装置的厂商 Meta 今日也宣布，旗下新一代产品 Meta2 开发者版本套件开启预购，售价为 949 美元（约新台币 3 万 1 千 5 百元），开发者版本预定第三季会开始寄送给订购者。
[youtube]_x9462x6A0k[/youtube]
运用 AR 头戴式装置可以让玩家在真实的视野中迭加上虚拟图像与对象，此种装置与 VR 头戴式装置戴上去后，沉浸在整个虚拟世界中的呈现方式不同。 Meta 2 采用半透明 AR 镜片、具备 90 度的视角，而投影分辨率为 2560 x 1440。
Meta 表示，Meta 2 需要搭配 Windows 8 或 Windows 10 操作系统的计算机来运行，未来也将支持 Mac 系统计算机。 Meta 2 藉由前置摄影机与位置追踪器来追踪玩家的动作，以方便玩家来操控，同时内建喇叭，并强调其结合神经科学研究的接口设计，将可以让用户快速学习、轻松上手。

PS VR建议使用年龄为12岁以上 原因大讨论
虽然现在PS VR的发售日还没有正式公开，但我们可以从PS4 3.5系统中的一则健康警告得知，PS VR的建议使用年龄为12岁以上。据称，另一款VR设备Oculus Rift的推荐年龄为13岁以上。
海外玩家对这一警告进行了激烈的讨论，目前看来比较合理的解释是由Reddit用户kumoishibo提出的，他认为，头戴式显示设备不适合给孩子使用的主要原因是由于瞳距。瞳距是人眼两个瞳孔之间的距离，在使用头戴式设备时，人的瞳孔需要在同样的位置停留。成人的瞳距平均值是63毫米，根据性别、人种、年龄等不同，瞳距的差异值在48到73毫米这个范围之间。自身的瞳距与平均值相差越大，所观察到的形变也就越大。而少年的瞳距一般在40到55毫米之间，因此，他们佩戴头戴式设备可能会造成身体的不适。因此，一般不建议儿童使用没有经过专业校准的头戴式设备。此外，如果各位在使用头戴式设备时出现任何不适，也建议立即停止使用。
对于这则警告的其他解读还包括，VR游戏可能会给儿童带来心理上的不适；VR可能会令儿童受到身体上的伤害；VR游戏包含过激内容等等，不一而足。
此外，我们还可以在警告中看到，官方希望用户在使用PS VR时，能够移除周围的障碍物，确保没有儿童、宠物等等。
VR这种沉浸式体验为我们带来了无与伦比的新鲜感，但是在使用时同样需要注意很多之前不曾注意到的问题。比如VR的恐怖游戏，如果没有很强的心理承受能力，还是谨慎尝试为妙，以免留下心理阴影。

Valve 预告将揭露 SteamVR 桌面剧院模式 在虚拟现实环境游玩一般游戏
2016 年游戏开发者大会（Game Developers Conference，简称 GDC）美国时间 3 月 14 日即将在旧金山登场，知名游戏厂商 Valve 今日预告将在 GDC 中揭露结合虚拟现实（VR）头戴装置游玩一般游戏的全新模式「SteamVR 桌面剧院模式（暂译，SteamVR Desktop Theater Mode）」。
Valve 透露，「SteamVR 桌面剧院模式」目前仍在早期测试阶段，将会于旧金山举办的 GDC 公开，此项模式将让玩家透过 VR 装置如即将推出的 HTC Vive 与其他装置等来游玩非 VR 游戏。
据了解，「SteamVR 桌面剧院模式」会让玩家身处在 3D 虚拟世界环境，游玩原本那些非为了 VR 体验所制作的一般游戏，例如玩家置身在虚拟的家庭剧院环境、观看眼前虚拟屏幕，然后游玩平常在 Steam 平台上的一般游戏。
Valve 尚未透露实际模式的细节内容，但这项讯息已经引发不少国外媒体期待，有的媒体期待此种「SteamVR 桌面剧院模式」将可以转换各式各样的游玩环境，例如可以选择在沙滩的虚拟环境玩游戏，或是在宇宙空间中玩游戏等，还可以支持一般键盘、鼠标与控制器操作等。 但实际「SteamVR 桌面剧院模式」的内容到底如何，就等待届时 Valve 公布了。

虚拟现实大热门 游戏开发者分享设计 VR 游戏秘诀
VR 與 AR 的 40 項未來大預測 VR MMO 將讓月費制再成主流？
全球最大专业游戏研发会议 2016 游戏开发者大会（2016 GDC） 今日在美国旧金山登场，虚拟现实（VR）与扩增实境（AR）成为现场最热门话题，每场虚拟现实开发会议（VRDC）都大排长龙，而首场由 Google 研发《Tilt brush》制作人 Patrick Hackett 主持的「从 HTC Vive 研发过程所学到设计经验」座谈会中，投入虚拟现实研发的多位开发者分享其经验，包括不要执着于追求真实、三分钟内要让玩家感受与沉浸在虚拟世界等开发技巧。
根据 GDC 数据显示，有 16% 的游戏研发者在今年已经投入 VR 相关作品的研发，相较于去年仅约 7% 成长许多，而今日在旧金山登场的 2016 GDC 活动中，不仅首度独立开辟虚拟现实开发会议（VRDC）分类，同时因为今日 VRDC 每场人数都过多，还特别开辟另一间会议室让挤不进该场 VRDC 的参与者可以透过现场直播一起听讲，可见 VR 在此次会议中的热门程度。
虚拟现实游戏开发成热门话题，10 时开始的论坛，一早想要听讲者已经大排长龙
今日首场「从 HTC Vive 研发过程所学到设计经验」座谈会由 Patrick Hackett 主持，集结与 HTC Vive 开发相关 WEVR 的 Scott Stephan、Owlchemy Labs 的 Alex Schwarz 与 The Void 的 Curtis Hickman 与独立开发者 Tyler Hurd 对话，向现场游戏专业人士分享开发经验。
会议一开始，Curtis Hickman 与 Tyler Hurd 等就谈到 HTC Vive 具备空间定位（Roomscale）技术可以为玩家带来完整的 VR 体验，让玩家在房间内走动与对象互动、沉浸在 VR 世界中，可以说是真正让玩家进入虚拟的世界当中。
2016 GDC 虚拟现实相关座谈由 Patrick Hackett （中）主持
现场谈到由于游戏开发者要运用 VR 装置把玩家从现实世界带入虚拟世界中，必须注意用户的体验，这其中包括许多技巧与感情层面，研发者得善加运用玩家与游戏中对象的互动、结合移动与互动性的关联等方式，例如玩家在游戏体验时看到物品，想要抓取或把东西丢出去却没有办法做到，就可能会造成其失落感等、甚至像小孩一样会生气。
会中也提到，VR 游戏 UI 的设计如何简单又易懂一大重点，由于平常 VR 游戏不同于一般游戏、屏幕上没有很大的空间摆放 UI，因此要如何简单并且自然地让玩家学会操控成为很大的挑战。 Alex Schwarz 说，在游戏中控制器通常就代表玩家的手，设计游戏时不能让玩家有一直意识到这是我的手的感觉，而是要能很自然地让玩家的手与控制相结合，很自然地抓取与执行互动。
现场提及 VR 游戏设计是企图打造真实的世界，研发者设计时要很注意玩家初期进入游戏的感受，避免可能因为画面抖动、画面更新率过低造成玩家晕眩或是操作不协调等问题，这样会让玩家很快就放弃游玩。
Patrick Hackett 表示，VR 游戏设计要在 3 分钟之内让玩家感受到沉浸在虚拟现实的感觉，研发者在思索想要拼命呈现栩栩如生内容的同时，其实怎样操作、互动与 UI 等设计都很重要。
另外，虽然许多游戏开发者的目标希望藉由 VR 技术打造给玩家几乎接近真实的世界，但现场开发者认为，研发者必须思考游戏本质内容，与其可能投入的相关成本与带来的效果呈现，还有此举是否会造成不必要的资源浪费等，没有必要一昧地执着去追求真实。
会议也提到，未来如何强化 VR 游戏的在线互动是个重要课题，要思考如何避免玩家未来沉浸在单独游玩 VR 游戏时的孤独感，开发者将可努力藉由网络让 VR 玩家有机会共同游玩与交流等。

Ubisoft's making multiplayer VR game Werewolves Within
Ubisoft 发表多人在线虚拟现实游戏《狼人入侵》
Ubisoft 于美国旧金山游戏开发者大会（GDC）举行期间宣布了一款多人同乐型的虚拟现实（VR）游戏《狼人入侵（暂译，原名：Werewolves Within）》。
本作的游戏规则与知名团康游戏「狼人游戏」相同，一局游戏会将 5 至 8 名玩家配对，玩家必须要猜出同伴中谁是「披着人皮的野兽」。 除了被指定为狼人的玩家之外，其他玩家也会被分配到不同角色，需运用各自的特殊能力来企图指认出狼人。
由于本作可利用虚拟现实装置来辨认玩家的动作，甚至还能透过「声音辨识分析」技术以动画表情反映出玩家现在的状态，这些细微的部份都可以当作猜测狼人的线索，呈现出其他在线「狼人」游戏所无法表现的真实感。
Ubisoft 至今已发表三个虚拟现实企划，继首波曝光的《Eagle Flight》（PlayStation VR），以及稍早揭露的《刺客教条》电影版虚拟现实体验后，《狼人入侵 Werewolves Within》也确定将在秋季问世。
从影片中可以看到，《狼人入侵 Werewolves Within》展示版使用的装置为 Oculus Rift，但影片尾声显示了「将对应所有主流 VR 平台」的字样，因此或许也会发售 HTC Vive 或 PlayStation VR 版。

Ubisoft Brings Game Night to Virtual Reality With Werewolves Within
Today, Ubisoft revealed Werewolves Within, a game of social deduction that brings the fun of game night with friends to virtual reality. As one of the first multiplayer VR games created, Werewolves Within captures the essence and competitive spirit of playing live around a table with friends, and channels that into a social VR experience. Werewolves Within will be available on major VR platforms in autumn 2016.
Developed by Red Storm Entertainment, a Ubisoft Studio, in collaboration with Ubisoft Barcelona, Werewolves Within transports players to the medieval village of Gallowston, where they must uncover the werewolves that have been terrorising the townsfolk. Designed as an online multiplayer experience for five to eight people, players assume randomly assigned roles at the beginning of each game, some of which grant special abilities that will help players deduce who is a werewolf in disguise. To keep the experience dynamic, games are quick, with roles changing each time. One round you could be a villager, pleading your case for innocence, and the next round you could be a werewolf, lying your way to victory.
With the game’s matchmaking features, players can create Private Matches with friends or be grouped in a Quick Match with friends and other gamers looking to play. Using Red Storm’s positional tracking technology and animations based on voice inflection analysis, players’ real-life actions and body language will be reflected through their VR character in-game.
“VR is proving to be an amazing platform for social interaction, moving toward truly feeling like you are there with other people,” said David Votypka, Sr. Creative Director at Red Storm Entertainment. “Werewolves Within gives players a taste of how VR can generate strong social connections, allowing you to get together to have a great time with others no matter how near or far they are.”
Werewolves Within marks the latest venture into virtual reality for Ubisoft, who recently announced the game Eagle Flight and a VR partnership with the film company, SpectreVision.

[youtube]69XFqRfzl_k[/youtube]
《PlayStation VR WORLDS》是集合 SCE WWS 伦敦工作室所制作、包括先前曾在各大会展活动中展出试玩的多个 PS VR 体验在内而成的 VR 游戏合辑，预定收录 5 个 VR 游戏，包括：
- 360 度黑帮火并刺激枪战的「The London Heist（伦敦劫案）」（相关报导）

PlayStation VR Worlds Combines Five VR Experiences Into One Game
Hello there. London Studio is extremely excited to finally announce our new game, PlayStation VR Worlds. We are pleased to have this opportunity to tell you a bit more about it.
PS VR Worlds is a collection of five different VR experiences that have all been built from the ground up exclusively for the PS VR headset. When we started out to make this game we wanted to create the very best collection of varied experiences, each to showcase VR in different ways and show how incredible VR can be as a media.
In PlayStation VR Worlds you will be treated to incredible visuals as your dive beneath the waves, tackle 360 combat as you fight off alien hordes from all around you, or end up in a face-to-face interrogation with a deranged and furious mobster. All brought to you with the immersion that makes VR so unique. You may have seen snapshots of some of these experiences before as demos, others are being revealed for the very first time.
So what are these five experiences that make up the game?
The London Heist puts you straight into a gritty gangland thriller where you get to unleash your inner gangster. The London Heist is best controlled by dual PS Move controllers but you can also play with a DualShock 4 instead with intuitive controls that make it surprisingly easy to pick up and play. You will feel highly immersed as you undertake an audacious robbery and then try to make your escape.
Into The Deep (working title) puts you to work as a deep sea salvor. It’s an emotional underwater roller coaster. Not only do you get to see fantastic marine life all around you but as you descend through the ocean layers to the inky depths you will experience the true terror of something going horribly wrong.
VR Luge lets you step into the jumpsuit of an illegal street racer. Thunder down a beautiful Californian hillside, only inches off the ground in a position that only VR can put you in. You will truly feel the exhilaration as you dodge cars coming at you with horns blaring or when you slide underneath a massive 18-wheel truck.
Danger Ball is a futuristic sport where you must win or die. Use your head to strike and spin the ball in this intense, fast paced, game. Each rival has unique abilities to use against you as you make your way through the tournament to become champion.
Finally we have Scavenger’s Odyssey. In this cab based sci-fi adventure you play an alien treasure hunter. With your agile craft you can leap huge distances, climb walls, hurl debris with your Scavenger beam, and pummel alien critters with your twin pulse cannons. With your unique vehicle you will be able to make your way through a dangerous, infested environment of giant ravaged ships, smashing asteroids to reach an ancient and legendary artifact.
There is more to reveal about the game and each experience within it. We look forward to coming back in the future to tell you more about PlayStation VR Worlds.
Brynley Gibson - Executive Producer, SCE London Studio

PlayStation VR 将支持「剧院模式」功能 提供 225 吋巨大虚拟屏幕视听感受
索尼计算机娱乐（SCE）15 日正式发表 PS4 专用虚拟现实装置「PlayStation VR（PS VR）」将于今年 10 月推出，价格 399 美元。 官方同时揭露 PS VR 除了虚拟现实专属内容的体验之外，还支持「剧院模式（Cinematic Mode）」，可以将 PS VR 当成一般的头戴显示器，用来游玩非 VR 的一般 PS4 游戏，以及观看游戏直播、BD 影片、相片以及全景相机拍摄的全景影片等内容。
在剧院模式下，PS VR 的运作类似 Sony HMZ 系列的传统头戴显示器，提供一个虚拟的 16:9 宽屏幕画面让玩家观看。 玩家可以像在一般电视屏幕上一样，操作 PS4 的系统接口，游玩一般的游戏，或是观看 Blu-ray 激光视盘、播放支持格式的相片 / 影片等。 之外还可以透过 PS VR 的头部连动功能，身历其境般地观看像是 RICOH 的 THETA 等全景摄影机所拍摄的全景相片 / 影片。
可开启「VR 模式」来观看全景相片 / 影片
PS VR 剧院模式将提供小 / 中 / 大 3 种虚拟屏幕尺寸的设定：
小：2.5 公尺距离，54 度视角、相当于 117 吋屏幕（屏幕宽约 2.6 公尺）
中：2.5 公尺距离，71.5 度视角，相当于 163 吋屏幕（屏幕宽约 3.6 公尺）
大：2.5 公尺距离，90 度视角、相当于 225 吋屏幕（屏幕宽约 5 公尺）
当尺寸设定为「小」的时候，虚拟屏幕的位置将固定在玩家眼前，「中」与「大」则是会固定在虚空间中的特定位置，玩家可以转头从不同角度来观看。 途中随时可以让屏幕位置归中，因此就算是仰躺在沙发上，一样可以让虚拟屏幕维持在眼前的位置，不因姿势的差异而影响观看。
PS VR 设定选单
PS VR 校正画面
目前 Sony 已经停产 HMZ 系列头戴显示器，不再贩卖相关产品，因此这次 PS VR 提供的剧院模式，可以说是很大程度地替代了 HMZ 系列产品的功能，让 PS VR 不只能体验 VR 专属的内容，还能适用于一般的 PS4 游戏与影音内容，价格上则是只有当初 HMZ 系列产品的一半左右。
不只是 PS VR，竞争产品的 Oculus Rift 也曾发表过可透过 Windows 10 串流功能以虚拟剧院的模式来游玩 Xbox One 游戏，支持 HTC Vive 的 Valve 日前亦预告将在 GDC 中发表类似的「SteamVR 桌面剧院模式」，都计划将 VR 头戴装置的功能延伸至 VR 以外的娱乐领域。

Tumble VR Revealed for PlayStation VR
[youtube]zxO003ZwAvs[/youtube]
Tumble VR Revealed for PlayStation VR
Hi there, I’m Simon Harris. I’m an Executive Producer at Supermassive Games responsible for our PlayStation VR titles. Today, following our announcement last October of Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, I am very happy to reveal another of our VR titles in development, Tumble VR, exclusively for PlayStation VR.
Tumble VR is an accessible, fun, engaging, and immersive puzzle game. When you pull the PlayStation VR headset on it places you in a virtual arena specifically designed to test your physical dexterity and mental skills. Working your way through a gauntlet of tests from simply building a tower to creating bridges, or even working out fiendish puzzles, Tumble VR will push your skills and brainpower to the limit.
Taking the original, much loved PS3 game, the team at Supermassive has rebuilt it from the ground up for PlayStation VR. We’ve designed a load of new levels to make best use of the VR environment and have added some great new modes as well.
Alongside the new levels and visuals for Tumble VR, we have also added new cooperative and competitive modes using the PlayStation VR Social Screen feature that allows a second player not using a PlayStation VR headset to play together with the VR player.
We’re excited to talk about this more in the future as it’s great to see how VR gaming can also be a social experience.
Simon Harris - Executive Producer, Supermassive Games

《星际大战》虚拟现实游戏一手体验 挥舞光剑对抗帝国风暴兵！
Valve 与 HTC 今日在 2016 游戏开发者大会开放虚拟现实（VR）头戴式装置 HTC Vive 新作试玩，由 Lucasfilm 旗下专注研发身历其境娱乐的实验室 The ILMxLab team 打造、运用 HTC Vive 让玩家沉浸在《星际大战》世界中新作品《星际大战：塔图因试炼（暂译，《Star Wars: Trials on Tatooine》》 首度以闭门方式让国际媒体与参观者试玩，巴哈姆特 GNN 现场体验在塔图因星球上协助韩索罗修理千年鹰号，并且面对风暴兵来袭、手持光剑回击的游戏内容。
当游戏一开始时，可以看到如同电影片头般，体验者身处在宇宙中、脚下跑过文字叙述的情境，搭配着由约翰威廉斯打造、所有星战迷都熟悉的《星际大战》主题曲，让人不禁热血了起来；当文字叙述结束，千年鹰号会从头上呼啸而过，接着体验者就会来到巨大的沙漠行星、也是天行者家族的故乡塔图因。 此时抬头仰望、可以看到天上的三个类似月亮卫星，而身旁就是无尽的风沙；接着，千年鹰号从头上降落，过程中会被它巨大的身影所震撼。
当千年鹰号降落后，机器人 R2-D2 先从千年鹰号下来。 此时可以听到韩索罗的声音（可惜此次体验中从头到尾都没有见到他），原来千年鹰号登陆支架中仅放下三支，还有一支似乎故障了，你必须加以协助。 体验者要运用左手控制器来依照指示按下指定颜色的按钮，结果修到一半，竟然有敌人来袭，情况变得紧急、韩索罗语气也开始急躁，让人不禁紧张了起来。
赶紧修好千年鹰号后，面对敌人来袭，幸好 R2-D2 带来了光剑。 体验者此时可向 R2-D2 取得光剑，打开后挥舞就可以听见光剑的声音；若是拿着光剑画在沙地上也会烧出痕迹，甚至把光剑靠近 R2-D2 都会泛着蓝光。
虽然拿到光剑非常兴奋，但眼前风暴兵不断来袭、朝向体验者射击，体验者可以用光剑反击他们的攻击。 前方的木箱桶子，也可以让体验者躲避攻击。 然而，真的被风暴兵攻击打到并不会有所损伤，而且感觉上目前只是体验用光剑回击的效果，并无法实际打到风暴兵，接着就在盟友协助下逼得这些白兵通通撤退，此时还有点时间可以试着跟 R2-D2 互动，若是拿着光剑朝他挥舞、他会往后退，若是摸摸他会有些响应，而就在制作团队的字幕画面中结束了体验。
The ILMxLab team 目前是以《星际大战：塔图因试炼》称呼这款作品，但在 Valve 官方数据中则以《Roadside》为代号，而 The ILMxLab team 也计划未来可能在《星际大战》相关庆祝活动中，让更多星战迷体验到置身于星际大战虚拟世界的乐趣。 以下为官方宣传影片：

SCE 执行副总裁伊藤雅康透露 PS VR 详情 延期上市主要是为了确保供货
索尼计算机娱乐（SCE）执行副总裁兼 PS 产品事业部事业部长与软件设计部门部门长伊藤雅康，日 前在 GDC 接受日本 4Gamer.net 访问，透露许多关于 PS4 专用虚拟现实装置「PlayStation VR（PS VR）」的详情。
首先是关于延期上市的状况，伊藤雅康表示，PS VR 原本计划 2016 年上半年推出，之所以会决定延至 2016 年 10 月推出，主要是为了确保供货数量。 如果缺货、让想买的人都买不到的话，就没办法有好的效果了，因此决定延到 10 月推出，预定以充足的数量来面对全球同步上市的需求。
此外，目前发表的 PS VR 包装只是「基本组合」，其中没有包含「PlayStation Camera（PS Camera）」摄影机，但 PS Camera 是 PS VR 运作 “必须” 的配备，没有安装 PS Camera 的话，是无法完成 PS VR 初始设定的。 SCE 目前有在检讨 PS VR 与 PS Camera 同捆的组合。
编按：PS Camera 在美国的官方建议售价为 59.99 美元
PS VR 包装中有包含一组基本的耳塞式耳机，麦克风则是内建在 VR 头戴装置上。 这次 GDC 的摊位上有展出让多名 PS VR 玩家聚集在单一虚空间的社交应用展示《社交 VR 展示（Social VR Demo）》，该展示中就活用了 PS VR 内建麦克风的功能。
关于 PS VR 游戏的画面更新率部分，伊藤雅康透露，虽然目前 PS VR 支持 90Hz（原生）与 120Hz（60fps 绘制，透过 Temporal Reprojection 倍增成 120Hz），但是在现有的 PS4 上想追求画质的话，要达到 90fps 以上更新率是很困难的，当然如果是比较简单的画面那是有可能。
编按：先前 SCE 环球工作室总裁吉田修平曾透露《SEGA feat. HATSUNE MIKU Project: VR Tech DEMO》是原生 90fps

先前 SCE 在 GDC 正式发表 PS VR 预定 10 月上市，价格 399 美元，但基本组合中并未包含 PS VR 运作所必需的 PS Camera，以及部分游戏支持的 PS Move 控制器，主要理由为这两种周边配件都是已上市产品，许多玩家已经拥有，因此并列入基本组合中，而是以另购的方式提供。

- PlayStation VR 头戴装置
- PlayStation VR 连接线

Vrvana 推出 VR、AR 兼用装置「Totem」体验介绍
「Totem」是位于加拿大蒙特娄的公司，Vrvana 正在开发中的 VR、AR 兼用装置，这次在会场上，我们获得了体验试用机的机会，现在就为大家送上体验报导。
虽然 Totem 在亚洲区并不是很出名，不过是公司创始人 Bertrand Nepveu，从他还在大学就读机械工学时，就已经开始筹划的企画。 虽然原本是打算作为 Xbox 360 周边机器推出，但是因为技术层面无法实现自己的创意，所以曾经一时中止，后来 Oculus VR 的「Rift」如慧星般横空出世，将话题性通通打包带走。
公司创始人、Totem 开发者 Bertrand Nepveu
而 Nepveu 看到这个情况，赶忙在 2014 年 9 月于 Kickstarter 网站上开启了募资专页，但却以失败告终。 只是后来以 Oculus VR 作为先锋的 VR 市场可以说是盛况非凡，所以最后得到新创产业资金投资，终于成功募集到资金。 Nepveu 表示：「是 Oculus VR 让我的企画能成功推上轨道。 」
因为在官方网站上，曾经以 450 美金的价格接受预定，所以正式发售时，可能也会以比较接近这个数字的价格推出。 而目前有公开的规格则是如下所列：
- 显示面板：OLED，分辨率 2560×1440
- 视角：120 度
- AR 用外部摄影机：分辨率 2560×1440，垂直更新率 90Hz，视角 120 度
- 连接接口：DisplayPort 输入×1，USB×1，耳机输出×1
- 搭载传感器：3 轴陀螺仪（1kHz），3 轴加速度（4kHz），3 轴地磁
- 对应引擎：Unreal Engine、Unity、OSVR
- 对应平台：计算机
而在这次能试玩到的内容是只要看着上面印有 QR 码的书页，就会显示出各式各样不同对象；或者是在摄影机拍下的影像当中加入特效，让眼前看起来就像电影《疯狂麦斯》的世界。 对于首次体验到 AR 装置的笔者来说，真的是让人感觉非常兴奋。 而且在体验过程当中，笔者试着在眼前快速挥手，但影像看起来也没有任何残像，这一点可以说是非常不错。
另外，也能体验到 VR 技术，「Unreal Engine 4」的「Showdown」内容。
