| VR: Faster than it looks |
Samsung
Gear VRSiguiendo with my comment a few days ago on the development of
virtual reality and its rapid transition to the consumer market,
everything indicates that, indeed, that ecosystem is developing faster
than it initially seemed.
Facebook,
now owner of the pioneer Oculus VR, it releases the development of
transform, a tool used to assemble the videos shot in 360º and that
allows a saving of 25% in the size of the files, something very
important if we think of the transmission of that type of content
through the network. Indeed, everything indicates that what I commented
on Facebook on the transition from text to photos, video and finally to
the video immersive is a reality in which the company works, and
therefore is interested in empowering giving opportunity to develop
content appropriate to the more developers, the better.
On
the other hand, if we listen to the clues that give us the job ads,
everything indicates that Google could be developing its own virtual
reality camera and its hardware for visualization, in order to also
promote the development of this type of content, in addition to signing
Jason Toff, previously in charge of Vine on Twitter , for your new
virtual reality unit. Meanwhile, Microsoft announces the specifications
of its augmented reality viewer that combines virtual image with real,
HoloLens, and Apple could also be incorporating virtual reality
developers. And another consumer electronics company, Samsung, already
has its product on the market for some time.
That
said: In short, we will put an artifact of this type in front of the
eyes and we will be consuming content through it in all kinds of places:
preparing a trip, killing the time in the seat of an airplane, or
moving on the Internet. When Facebook acquired Oculus VR, I was struck
by a phrase in the ad:
Mobile is the platform of today, and now we're also getting ready for the platforms of tomorrow. Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play and communicate.
And I was wondering if indeed, that was the future. Everything seems to indicate yes.
