VRFocus-With the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) now over it’s time to focus on some virtual reality (VR) technology that didn’t make it to the show. Last weekend saw Catopsys launch a Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign for a new platform named Immersis. The company labels the tech as virtual reality (VR) without the need for a head-mounted display (HMD) unlike the Oculus Rift or Project Morpheus. The campaign is hoping to raise $100,000 USD by 18th February 2015 and, at the time of writing, is already well on its way to reaching the half way mark.
I've pondered on this before, and I like the concept, but the actual application seems unrealistic, what about my couch what about my bed? The immersion Could easily be broken. Even earlier iterations like illumiroom, and the most insane immersive movie experience videos PlayStation used to make, required pretty empty rooms, and the PlayStation videos required furniture movement.
